About this gig

Arabic layout is not English layout flipped. Text direction, line breaking, diacritics, mixed Arabic and Latin numerals and the right font choice all have to be handled properly, or the book looks wrong to every Arabic reader who opens it.


I am a native Arabic speaker and I typeset Arabic books in Adobe InDesign every week.


What you get:


Arabic or bilingual interior set natively in RTL, never a flipped English file

Correct Arabic typography, ligatures, kashida and justification

Proper margins, gutters, running heads and page numbers for a right-to-left book

Styled chapter openers, headings and captions

Correct trim size and bleed for your printer, including Amazon KDP

Print-ready PDF plus the editable InDesign file


Novels, memoirs, religious and academic titles, textbooks, children's books, poetry, corporate and institutional books.


Ten years in InDesign, working with publishers, universities and agencies across Egypt, the Gulf and Europe.


Send me your manuscript and your printer's specification and I will tell you exactly what it needs before you order.

Your manuscript is finished. Now it has to survive the printer, and that is where most books lose weeks. I turn manuscripts, reports and artwork into files that print correctly the first time. Book interiors for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, EPUB and Kindle conversion, annual reports, catalogs and press-ready PDFs with correct bleed, trim and CMYK. Ten years in Adobe InDesign, and a native Arabic speaker, so bilingual and RTL layout is set properly rather than approximated. Send me your file and your printer's specification and I will tell you exactly what it needs.
