About this gig

Your Arabic or Urdu manuscript deserves more than a template with the text dropped in. I format and typeset books by hand in InDesign - correct right-to-left structure, proper letter shaping, accurate tashkeel placement, and a print- or eBook-ready file at the end.

I'm not a subcontractor pool. Every project is formatted personally by me, checked before delivery.

What I've formatted:

  • AAOIFI's Sharia Standards - a 1,400-page reference volume with full footnotes, cross-referencing, and clickable TOC
  • Tafsir Usmani (English) - a three-volume tafsir with standardized transliteration and running Ayah/Surah headers
  • Quranic text with full tashkeel and Tajweed-sensitive layout

What I handle:

  • Arabic, Urdu, and English - single-language or mixed layouts
  • Tashkeel and Tajweed-sensitive Quranic text
  • Footnotes, cross-references, clickable table of contents
  • Print-ready PDF and EPUB for KDP/Kindle
  • Multi-volume and reference-work formatting

Larger or more complex than the packages below? Message me for a quote based on your actual manuscript.

Delivery style preference

Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
