About this Gig
A children's book with messy layout loses parents before they finish page one.
Parents judge a children's book fast on a phone screen, in a store, or scrolling Amazon at 11pm. If your illustrations are misaligned, your text overlaps images, or your formatting looks off on Kindle, you lose the sale before your story even gets a chance.
I edit and typeset children's books picture books, early readers, illustrated chapter books so they look professionally published, not self-made.
Here's what you get:
- Proper illustration + text placement
- Correct trim size and bleed for print (KDP or IngramSpark)
- Kindle-optimized formatting for digital sales
- Light copyedit pass for grammar, spelling, and read-aloud flow
My process:
- You send your manuscript + illustration files
- I lay out and typeset for both print and Kindle
- You review a full preview before I finalize
Children's books live or die on first impressions a parent flipping through a bad layout won't buy, no matter how good your story is. A clean, professional layout does half your selling for you.

FAQ
What's the difference between typesetting and editing for a children's book?
Typesetting is the layout — placing text and illustrations correctly, setting margins, trim size, and page flow. Editing is a light copyedit pass for grammar and read-aloud flow. This gig covers both so your book looks professionally published and reads smoothly.
Do you work with illustrated picture books, or just text-heavy children's books?
Both. I lay out fully illustrated picture books (text + image placement on every page) as well as early readers and illustrated chapter books with less dense artwork.
Can you format for both print and Kindle in one order?
Yes, this gig includes both — correct trim size and bleed for print (KDP or IngramSpark) plus Kindle-optimized formatting for digital sales.
What files do I need to send you?
Your manuscript text (Word or Google Doc) plus your illustration files (JPEG or PNG, highest resolution available). If your illustrator provided a style guide or page order, include that too.
I don't have illustrations yet — can you still help?
This gig covers layout and typesetting once you have text and artwork ready. If you need an illustrator referral or want to discuss options before your art is finished, message me first.
How do I know the layout will look right before final delivery?
You'll get a full preview (both print and Kindle versions) before I finalize anything, so you can request adjustments before the file is locked in.
Should I contact you before placing an order?
Yes. Please message me first with your manuscript and project details so I can recommend the best package and ensure your needs are fully covered.
