Formatting Suite
Done-for-you formatting, professionally typeset.
We turn your finished manuscript into polished files for ebook, ePub, paperback, and hardback. Delivered ready to upload to Amazon KDP, your author website, and any other platform.
What you get
Professional typography. Proper kerning, hyphenation, widows and orphans handled, running heads, drop caps. The craft most DIY tools skip.
Every format, ready to sell. Ebook for Amazon Kindle, ePub for every other store, paperback and hardback for print. Files built for each one.
Platform-ready files. Every format built to its platform’s exact specs, ready to upload straight to Amazon KDP, your author website, and any other platform.
Fiction or non-fiction. Typography and chapter structure suited to your book, not a one-size-fits-all layout.
The four formats
Pick what your book needs. Each format is its own piece of work, with its own file type and its own rules.
Ebook
The Amazon Kindle version. A Word document, styled and structured so KDP accepts it straight away.
- Word document structured for direct KDP upload
- Chapter breaks, front matter, and back matter in the right order
- Working navigation so readers can jump between chapters
- Clean styling so the book reflows cleanly on every Kindle device
Delivered as: a single KDP-ready Word document
ePub
The format every other ebook store uses. Your own website and the wider ebook market all want ePub.
- Reflowable CSS so the book looks right on every reader
- Cover embedded and file-level metadata set
- Table of contents and internal navigation working across apps
- Cross-reader tested (different apps handle files differently)
Delivered as: a validated ePub file
Paperback
Three print-ready interiors. One for Amazon KDP, one for print on demand, one for wider distribution. Every one built to its platform’s exact specs.
- Three different trim sizes, one per platform
- Bleed, gutter, and margin specs set separately for each
- Spine width calculated from the paper stock (which differs per platform)
- Strictest platform specs met, so every upload passes first time
Delivered as: three separate files
Hardback
Three hardback interiors, one per print platform. Runs on the same typography pipeline as your paperback, with hardback specs layered on top.
- Case laminate format (printed directly on the case, no dust jacket)
- Different trim and margins than paperback
- Separate spine calculation for the heavier hardback stock
- Shares the paperback typography so both editions stay consistent
Delivered as: three separate files.
Requires: paperback formatting.
