Ebook formatting service from experienced book editor
Format the layout of your book or novel ready for self-publishing on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
My Amazon Kindle ebook formatting service will professionally correct and amend the layout of your manuscript so it looks polished, improves reader engagement and is prepared for self-publishing on Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing).
|
If you want to make a good impression, don't let poor presentation undo all your hard work of writing your book, novel, ebook, collection of short stories or poetry.
A professional layout is a must so your manuscript doesn't have irregular margins, inconsistent line spacing, or suffer from readability issues. Your book needs a great interior as well as a great exterior when selling on a self-publishing platform such as Amazon. Please note that my ebook formatting service applies to the layout of text-only documents. |

The formatting process is carried out once the client's work has been edited and/or proofread. See my Proofreading and Copy-editing pages for more information on these services.

Please note:
- If you only need proofreading or copy-editing without the ebook formatting service, any inconsistencies such as different font sizes, non-uniform line spacing and uneven margin indentations will be amended. The cost for this will be included in the quote provided for my editorial services.
- This service does not involve the formatting or insertion of photographs, images, illustrations or tables. If publising on Amazon, how to format images for your ebook can be found on the Amazon KDP Resources page. For authors with complex layouts (images, tables) or for decorative typesetting, see the Book Formatting Resources section on my Self-Publishing Resouces blog post.
Ebook formatting ensures your book's layout is professional and to publisher standard (front pages added, and margins, font, line spacing, chapter titles, etc. are amended and consistent), and that your book can be published as an ebook quicker and easier.
Even though my book formatting service is mainly to prepare for self-publishing as an ebook on Amazon Kindle (KDP), this service can form the foundation of a well-formatted document if you plan to sell your book through other self-publishing platforms or if you're submitting to literary agents / publishers (who usually have their own submission guidelines) as this ensures your book is free from formatting errors and irregularities.

The layout of a book is important (margin indentations, line spacing, chapter headings, for example) because your manuscript may not receive the kudos it should or consideration from potential buyers if it is not formatted to publisher standards.
This is essential to provide a seamless and consistent presentation of your book; therefore, a layout that doesn’t scream 'amateur' to your readers.

You will benefit from the layout checking and amending if any of the following apply to your document:
- Margin indentations have been created by using the tab key or the space bar multiple times
- Double spacing after a full stop
- Inconsistent line spacing used to separate chapter titles from the main text, paragraphs, chapters, chapter breaks, etc.
- The author has used different style fonts and/or different size fonts inconsistently or not intentionally
- Multiple use of the Enter/Return key to move the next chapter to a new page
- There is a mixture of left justified and justified text
- The margin settings in Microsoft Word have been changed causing 'pesky margin' issues
- Text has been centred but the margin hasn’t been set to zero
- There is text in the headers and/or footers (these don’t translate when converting the document into a compatible ebook file to self-publish)
- There are page numbers (these don’t apply to ebooks as separate pages don't exist. Instead, it is a continuous flowing text that automatically fits the various screen sizes of devices)
