What is included in this service?

Professional Book Formatting Services FAQs
Direct answers to common questions authors ask before they choose this service.
What is book formatting?
Book formatting is the preparation of a manuscript’s interior structure and presentation for print or digital publication, including typography, headings, spacing, page elements and export settings.
Is eBook formatting the same as print formatting?
No. Print layout is fixed to a page size, while most eBooks are reflowable and adapt to the reader’s device and font settings.
Do I need the final page count before formatting?
The final page count is usually produced by print formatting itself. It is then useful for creating an accurate full-wrap print cover.
Can you format images, tables and chapter ornaments?
Yes, but complex elements should be reviewed before quoting because they can affect layout time and eBook compatibility.
Should proofreading happen before or after formatting?
Major editing should happen before formatting. A final proof after layout is also recommended to catch page-level or typographic issues.
