Formatting for self-publishing
Publishing a book yourself gives you incredible freedom — but it also means there are plenty of technical details to get right.
I can help prepare your manuscript for platforms such as Amazon KDP, so you can spend less time wrestling with formatting and more time doing the part you actually love: writing.
Whether you need a simple novel interior or a more involved nonfiction book with headings, lists, exercises, tables or different sections, we can discuss what your book needs before I start.
Already written your book?
Perfect.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you contact me.

Send me your manuscript and tell me what you're hoping to publish, and we can work out the best formatting option for your book.

If you're still working on your manuscript, that's fine too. I can also help with proofreading and editing, so you can get your words polished before they move on to the formatting stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file do you need from me?

Ideally, I’ll work from an editable Word document. If your manuscript is in another format, just get in touch and we can discuss what’s possible.

Do you format both ebooks and paperbacks?

Yes. Ebook and print formatting have different requirements, so I’ll prepare the files appropriately for the format you’re publishing.

Can you format books for Amazon KDP?

Yes. I can prepare your interior files for self-publishing through platforms such as Amazon KDP.

Can you format nonfiction books?

Absolutely. Nonfiction books can sometimes need additional formatting for headings, lists, exercises, tables, contents pages and other elements. We’ll discuss what your book requires before I begin.

Can you format my book if it hasn't been proofread?

Yes, although I recommend proofreading before final formatting wherever possible. If you need both, I can provide proofreading and formatting as part of the same project.

Do you design book covers too?

My book formatting service focuses on the interior of your book. If you need help with other parts of the publishing process, just ask — I may be able to help or point you in the right direction.

How much does book formatting cost?

Every book is different, so I provide personalised quotes based on the length, complexity and formats required.

Send me a few details about your book and I’ll let you know what’s involved.
