“Take the Leap”
via Fiverr · 5 stars
“I couldn't be happier with the interior formatting work on this project. The book was a 70,000-word business leadership manuscript, and they managed to design it into a clean, uncluttered layout while keeping the page count down to just 220 pages. The balance of readability and professional styling was excellent. They truly understood how to create a design that looks sharp without feeling cramped. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a skilled, detail-oriented formatter who knows how to make a manuscript shine.”
“This is my 4th time working with HMD and every single time I have an amazing experience.”
“What stood out most was their commitment to getting things right, not just done.”

Book formatting at HMD Publishing is fixed-price: Clean & Simple is £147 (text-only fiction and memoir), Enhanced Layout is £227 (non-fiction with images, tables, or structured chapters), and Complex Design is £377 (cookbooks, textbooks, illustrated and workbook layouts). Every package includes both print-ready PDF and reflowable EPUB, 3 revision rounds, and the retail-approval guarantee — no per-page fees and no surprise add-ons.
We accept Word (.docx), Google Docs, or PDF. Your manuscript should be fully edited before submission for the best results.
Standard formatting takes 5 days for Basic, 7 days for Standard, and 10 days for Premium packages. Rush service is available for an additional fee.

Absolutely. All packages include 3 revision rounds to ensure you're 100% satisfied with the final product. Each round covers as many individual change requests as you need — we don't count line-by-line tweaks against your total.
We format for all standard sizes including 5x8", 5.5x8.5", 6x9", 8.5x11", and custom sizes upon request.
Our retail-approval guarantee covers this. If any major retailer (KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo) rejects the file for a formatting reason, we re-fix it free — it doesn't count against your revision rounds. We test against the latest spec on every job.
You do. 100% of the rights to the final files transfer to you on delivery. We don't watermark, gate, or retain any rights — print and ebook files are yours to upload, sell, and update forever.
Our human service tiers (£147+) are done by typesetters in Adobe InDesign with manual quality control on every page — no AI layout. We do offer a separate £9.99/£49 automated tool for standard ebook conversions, clearly labelled as such, so you always know which service you're buying.
Run our free manuscript readiness check first (linked above). Paying for formatting on a draft that still needs editing means paying twice — the readiness check returns an objective verdict in under a minute.
Yes. Send us reference titles or a sample chapter from a previous book and we'll match the typography, margins, chapter style, and trim size so a new release fits cleanly inside an existing series.
Before we start design work you can cancel for a full refund. Once we've delivered the sample chapter and you've approved direction, refunds aren't available — but the 3 revision rounds plus retail-approval guarantee mean you keep iterating until the file is right.
