Formatting
Your book deserves elegant, stylish page design that reflects the content and vibe of your book and that enhances the reading experience. I can work from specs that you provide or I can create custom designs that we refine together.
Service bundles that include both editing and formatting give you a discount for multiple services.
I use Affinity or MS Word for print books, and Kindle Create, Vellum, Affinity, or Scrivener for e-books.

Costs are higher for books with a lot of images or complex page designs.
* Amazon no longer supports .mobi format. .kpf is now Amazon's dedicated Kindle format for e-books.
Orders that require a .kpf file must be typeset using Kindle Create.
