FAQ
What software do you use for layout and typesetting?
I use Adobe InDesign for professional typesetting and layout, along with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to ensure your vector graphics and illustrations are perfectly optimized for print.
Amazon KDP rejected my book because of bleed/margin errors. Can you fix it?
Absolutely. I specialize in troubleshooting and correcting formatting errors, specifically margin overlaps, bleed sizing, and trim issues, to ensure your book gets approved on the first try
Do you format for platforms other than Amazon KDP?
Yes! I provide print ready PDFs perfectly tailored for IngramSpark, BookVault, Lulu, and local independent printers. Just let me know where you plan to publish.
Will the eBook version look exactly like the paperback?
For children's books, I create fixed layout eBooks (like KPF for Amazon). This means the text and images will stay exactly where they are on the page, preserving the visual layout of your physical book on digital screens.
My children's book requires text to be placed directly over the illustrations. Can you do that?
Yes. If you provide text free illustrations, I can beautifully overlay your story text using engaging, professional fonts that complement the artwork and are easy for children to read.
Can you format bilingual or foreign language books?
Yes. While I primarily format in English, I also have fluent professional proficiency in other languages and can comfortably handle bilingual layouts, complex character formatting, and right to left reading formats.
My book is longer than 50 pages. Can I still order this gig?
Definitely. If your manuscript exceeds the page limits in the packages, just send me a quick message and I will create a custom offer tailored to your exact page count.
Does this gig include book cover formatting?
This gig focuses entirely on the interior layout. However, I can also help with your book cover formatting if needed.
