Interiors So Clean, Readers Forget the Page

Typesetting is invisible when it is done right and distracting when it is not. We format your book to the standard of the big publishing houses, for every screen and every press.

Professional Typesetting

The Craft Between Your Words and the Printed Page

Margins, spacing, widows, orphans, hyphenation and running heads. A hundred small decisions separate a homemade book from a bookstore quality one.

Our formatters hand set your interior in professional layout software, never one click converters. Chapter openers, drop caps, scene breaks, front matter and back matter are styled to suit your genre, and a human reviews every page before delivery.

For digital editions we build a clean, reflowable EPUB with a linked table of contents that passes validation on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo and Google Play. Your book looks intentional on a six inch phone and in a hardcover spread alike.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What files do I receive?

A print ready PDF for each trim size you order, a validated EPUB for eBook stores, and on request a Kindle optimised file and an editable source package. Everything is yours to keep.

Can you match the look of a traditionally published book I love?

Yes. Send us the title and we will base your design sample on its typographic style using properly licensed fonts.

My book has lots of images and tables. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Cookbooks, memoirs with photo inserts, workbooks and technical titles are our bread and butter. Complex layouts are quoted upfront with no surprises.

What if KDP or IngramSpark rejects the file?

They will not, but if a retailer ever flags one of our files we fix and resubmit it free until it is approved. That promise is in writing.
