I will review your book interior for KDP and print readiness


About this gig
Is your book interior truly ready for print?
Before you upload to KDP or IngramSpark, have a professional book designer with 10+ years of experience check it. I'll review your PDF, Word, or InDesign file and show you exactly what needs fixing, so your book passes review and looks professionally published.
What I check:
- Trim size, margins, gutter, and bleed
- Font embedding and image resolution
- Widows, orphans, spacing, and hyphenation
- Headers, page numbers, and chapter openers
- Front and back matter order
- KDP and IngramSpark file requirements
What you get:
- Basic: a clear checklist of issues
- Standard: a page-by-page annotated PDF with fixes
- Premium: annotated review, video call, and rechecks
Why me?
I've designed interiors for publishing companies and many self-published authors. I know what printers reject and what readers notice.
Need the fixes done for you? Add the "Fix it for me" extra or ask about my layout service.
Please message me before ordering with your trim size, page count, and platform.

FAQ
What file formats do you accept?
I accept print-ready PDFs, Word (DOCX), and InDesign files (INDD or IDML). For the most accurate review, please send the exact PDF you plan to upload to KDP or IngramSpark.
Does the review include my book cover?
The standard review covers the interior only. If you'd like me to check your cover wrap, spine width, and barcode area, add the "Cover wrap and spine check" extra.
Will you fix the problems you find?
This gig is a review and consultation, so you'll receive clear instructions for every fix. If you'd prefer me to make the corrections, add the "Fix it for me" extra or ask about my interior layout service.
Which printing platforms do you check for?
I review against Amazon KDP and IngramSpark requirements, including trim size, margins, bleed, and image resolution. If you're using another printer, send me their specs and I'll review against those.
My book has more pages than my package allows. What should I do?
You can add the "Additional 100 pages" extra, or message me and I'll send a custom offer based on your page count.
Do you also review ebooks?
This gig focuses on print interiors. If you need an ebook (EPUB or Kindle) checked or formatted, message me and I'll suggest the best option.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Your files are used only for your review and are never shared or reused. I've worked with publishers and authors for over 10 years and treat every manuscript with care.
How does the Premium video call work?
After I deliver your annotated review, we'll schedule a 30-minute call to walk through the issues together and answer your questions. I'm based in the Philippines (GMT+8) and will work around your time zone.
