Congratulations! You’ve written and edited your book, and got a shiny, marketable cover* to go with it. This is an incredible and worthy accomplishment, and I tip my hat to you, brave author.

Now comes the trickiest part. Interior formatting. A lot of indie authors (myself included) have tried to format their own books using their writing software, like Scrivener, Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, and so forth. Some authors are patient and savvy enough to succeed in making those programs produce a professional design without the frustrating widows, orphans, page numbers on blank pages, etc. But most aren’t.

In my own frustration, I bought and tested several different site-based and local PC programs and plug-ins to get the job done. Most fell short of claims, and nearly all took a lot of time to learn and implement.

Then I found THE software. Heard of Vellum? It’s perfect. Professional, easy to use, faster than most to lay out just so. There’s just one downside… It only works on a Mac. Not to be deterred, I rented a cloud-based Mac and tried out the trial version. And I fell in love.

I ultimately bought an iMac just for this software. Yup, I swallowed that large chunk of money with no regrets. And now you can benefit from my decision. I can format your book for you, if you won’t want to spent that kind of dough. To be frank, you can get the same services from freelance formatters on Reedsy, but they charge a tad more than I do. Some of them are worth it, as they can create gorgeous interior wraps and fancy chapter title graphics that I can’t. If you have the money to spend on hiring one of those pros, DO IT. Absolutely!

If you’re not in a position to spend so much cash, I can offer a basic, professional, pleasing interior book design with stock image headers, a table of contents, interior maps, appendices, dedications, acknowledgments, author bios, ‘also buy’ pages with affiliated linked, etc. All those vital things, formatted for your e-book and paperback to MATCH each other, and at a very reasonable price, with fast turn-arounds and three rounds of minor changes** to get it looking just right.
