Adobe InDesign Book Formatting & Interior Layout Design for KDP Publishing
Your manuscript deserves a layout that looks like it came from a publishing house not a Word document exported as a PDF. I design clean, professional book interiors in Adobe InDesign, built to meet IngramSpark and Amazon KDP's exact specifications so your book uploads without formatting errors or rejected proofs.
What I Handle:
- Full interior layout for fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, poetry, and workbooks
- Custom chapter headings, drop caps, section breaks, and running headers/footers
- Table of contents generation (clickable for ebook, styled for print)
- Trim size setup, margins, and bleed matched to KDP's print specifications
- Front matter and back matter layout title page, copyright page, dedication, acknowledgments
- Image and illustration placement for children's books, cookbooks, or illustrated non-fiction
Kindly send your manuscript and trim size preference, and I'll show you a sample chapter before you commit to anything.

FAQ
My manuscript isn't fully edited yet, should I send it now or wait?
Wait, if possible. Layout work locks in page breaks and pagination, so late text edits can shift your table of contents and cause reflow issues. Finish content edits first, then format.
Will the same file work for both paperback and ebook?
No, they need separate files. Print requires fixed trim size, margins, and bleed; ebooks reflow to fit any screen. I deliver both from one design pass, but they're built as distinct files.
What if my book has a lot of images, does that change the process?
Yes. Image-heavy books (cookbooks, children's books, illustrated non-fiction) need higher-resolution files and tighter placement work than text-only books. Send images at full resolution upfront to avoid quality loss during layout.
