I’m looking for an experienced book formatter/typesetter who can take my Word manuscript and prepare a professionally formatted, print-ready PDF for physical printing.
The manuscript is approximately 250 pages. Fiction novel
What I need
I need the complete interior of the book professionally formatted according to standard book-printing requirements, including:
- Professional book typography and font selection/formatting
- Proper page size and margins
- Correct gutter/binding margin
- Consistent paragraph formatting and indentation
- Proper line spacing and paragraph spacing
- Full justification where appropriate
- Professional hyphenation settings
- Widow/orphan control
- Proper page breaks
- Chapter opening and chapter-title formatting
- Headers and footers
- Page numbering
- Consistent formatting throughout the entire manuscript
- Bleed settings wherever applicable
- Correct trim size and print dimensions
- Proper handling of blank pages and section breaks
- Overall professional typesetting suitable for a commercially printed novel
The most important requirement is that the final PDF must be genuinely print-ready.
This is not simply a Word-to-PDF conversion job, and I am not looking for a basic formatting service.
The final file will be sent directly to a professional printer for physical book printing, so everything needs to be technically and visually correct for print.
I already have the manuscript in Word format. I want the final interior PDF to look and function like a professionally typeset published novel.
Please apply your professional judgment wherever necessary rather than simply following the existing Word formatting.
Deliverable:
1. Final print-ready PDF
2. Editable formatted Word file/source file
Please only apply if you have actual experience formatting/typesetting novels or books for physical printing. If possible, share samples of previously formatted books or interiors.
