My manuscript is fully written and edited—it simply needs to look like a real book on screen. I want the entire novel laid out as a clean, professional-grade PDF that I can send straight to online retailers or offer as a download from my site.
Here’s what matters to me:
• Consistent, readable interior typography (chapter headings, body text, scene breaks, running headers/footers, and page numbers)
• Proper front and back matter—title page, copyright, dedication, acknowledgments, and an optional “About the Author” section
• A clickable table of contents and working internal links
• Embedded fonts and optimised images so the file renders correctly on laptops, tablets, and phones
• Final PDF that passes common distributor checks (KDP, IngramSpark, etc.)
Right now I only need the PDF, but I may request ePub or Mobi later, so setting up styles with future export in mind is appreciated. Please let me know how you’ll approach layout, which tools you plan to use (InDesign, Vellum, Affinity Publisher—your choice), and how quickly you can deliver the finished file.
