Clear answers on timeline, scope, rights, revisions, and what happens after checkout.
How much do book formatting services cost?
Book formatting services start at £147. Your exact package depends on word count, trim size, output formats, and layout complexity; we reply with a fixed quote within 1 business day.
What is included in professional book formatting?
Professional book formatting is paid typesetting in Adobe InDesign with page-by-page quality control, not a template or set of formatting instructions. Every package includes a print-ready PDF, reflowable EPUB, clickable contents, professional typography, and 3 revision rounds.
What is the difference between an ebook formatting service and print book formatting?
An ebook formatting service produces a reflowable EPUB that adapts to screen and reader settings. Print book formatting produces a fixed-layout PDF built to the selected trim size, margins, bleed, headers, and page numbering; every HMD package includes both outputs.
Is your KDP book formatting service also ready for IngramSpark?
Yes. We prepare the delivered PDF and EPUB for KDP and IngramSpark, as well as other major ebook channels. If a retailer rejects our delivered file because of our formatting, we correct that formatting issue without using a revision round; content, metadata, rights, platform-policy issues, and a file changed after delivery are outside that promise.
What do you need for an exact book formatting quote?
Send a final edited manuscript in Word, Google Docs, or PDF, together with its word count, required print trim size, output formats, and details of images, tables, footnotes, or other layout elements. We support standard and custom trim sizes and confirm the production requirements in the quote.
How long does professional book formatting take, and are revisions included?
Turnaround is 5 days for Clean & Simple, 7 days for Enhanced Layout, and 10 days for Complex Design. Every package includes 3 revision rounds within the agreed formatting scope; changed content or a new brief may require a revised quote.
