I will format your childrens book


About this gig
Your children's book deserves a professional layout that brings the words and illustrations together.
I professionally format and design children's books for independent authors preparing for self-publishing. I take your completed manuscript and provided illustrations and create a polished interior where text, images, spacing, and page composition work together to tell the story.
With over a decade of publishing and book-production experience, I understand both creative children's book design and the technical requirements of preparing books for publication.
Children's book formatting may include:
- Interior book layout
- Placement of provided illustrations
- Typography and text placement
- Margins, bleeds & trim sizing
- Page numbers when appropriate
- Front & back matter
- Print-ready PDF
- Optional eBook formatting
To begin, I need:
- Your final, edited manuscript
- Your completed illustrations
- Your desired trim size
- Any design preferences
Need illustrations created too? Please see my Children's Book Illustration Gig.
Have an unusual layout or book size? Message me before ordering.

FAQ
Do you create the illustrations for this Gig?
No. This Gig is for children's book formatting and interior layout using illustrations you provide. If you need illustrations created, please see my Children's Book Illustration Gig.
What files should I provide for my illustrations?
Please provide high-quality image files whenever possible, such as PNG or JPG. Your illustrations should be complete and ready to use before formatting begins.
Will my children's book be print-ready?
Yes. Your print formatting includes a publication-ready PDF prepared for your selected trim size, including appropriate margins and bleeds when required.
Can you format my book for Amazon KDP or other self-publishing platforms?
Yes. I can prepare children's book interiors for self-publishing platforms such as Amazon KDP. Please provide any specific platform or printer requirements when ordering.
Can you format an eBook version too?
Yes. eBook formatting is available as an add-on. Children's eBooks often require different formatting considerations than the print edition, so the eBook is treated as a separate deliverable.
What if my book has more pages or illustrations than my package includes?
Additional pages and placement of additional provided images are available as Gig Extras. For unusually complex layouts or books that fall significantly outside the package limits, please message me before ordering.
