I will transform messy word docs into KDP ready paperback and kindle files


About this gig
Most manuscripts look fine on your screen and fall apart the moment they hit print or Kindle.
Wrong trim size leaves text cramped or floating. Hidden Word codes, random tabs, and mixed spacing explode into gaps and broken lines. Widows and orphans strand single words at the top or bottom of pages. Justified text creates ugly rivers of white space. Headers and page numbers appear where they never should, on title pages, copyright pages, chapter openers.
I fix all of it.
I take your finished manuscript and turn it into clean, professional files that pass Amazon KDP and IngramSpark on the first try. Proper trim size. Correct margins and leading. No widows, no orphans, no rivers. Clean headers and footers that know when to disappear. One version ready for paperback, one ready for ePub/Kindle.
You get a print-ready PDF and a validated ePub, plus a short note explaining what was fixed so you understand your own files. No premature formatting. No cluttered drafts. Just a book that looks like it belongs on a shelf.
If your manuscript is finished and you want it to look as good as it reads, send the details of your trim size and target platforms.

FAQ
My manuscript is still in Word and looks fine on my screen. Why do I need formatting?
What looks clean in Word often breaks when it’s converted for print or Kindle. Hidden codes, wrong page size, and uneven spacing turn into gaps, cut-off text, or rejected files. Formatting fixes those problems so the book actually looks professional in the final format.
Will you format a draft that’s still being edited?
No. Formatting should happen after the content is finished. If you format too early, every later edit can break the layout and waste the work. Send the final manuscript.
What trim sizes do you work with?
Common paperback sizes (5×8, 5.5×8.5, 6×9) and standard hardcover sizes. Tell me your target size and platform (KDP, IngramSpark, or both) and I’ll set the file correctly from the start.
Do you fix widows, orphans, and rivers?
Yes. Single stranded lines, awkward page breaks, and uneven justified spacing are part of a proper format. The goal is clean pages that don’t distract the reader.
Will the headers and page numbers appear on the title page or chapter openings?
No. Running headers, footers, and page numbers are suppressed on title pages, copyright pages, and the first page of each chapter, the standard professional practice.
What files will I receive?
A print-ready PDF set to your trim size and a validated ePub for Kindle. Both are prepared so they meet KDP and IngramSpark requirements.
