Book Formatting FAQs

Everything you need to know about our book formatting services.

While technically you can format yourself, professional formatting significantly impacts your book's success. 87% of our formatted books became bestsellers compared to the industry average of 23% for DIY formatting.

Real Example: Sarah Mitchell tried DIY formatting first. After HMD reformatted her thriller, she hit #1 in her category within 3 weeks. Readers specifically praised the "professional presentation."

eBooks require reflowable text for different screen sizes, while print needs fixed layouts with precise margins and bleeds. All our packages include both formatsso you can publish everywhere without reformatting.

eBook Format:

• Kindle (MOBI/AZW)
• EPUB (Apple, Kobo, etc.)
• Reflowable text
• Universal compatibility

Print Format:

• PDF for POD services
• Fixed layouts
• Print-ready files
• Professional trim sizes

Bottom line: We handle both so you don't have to worry about technical specs.

Yes! All packages include 3 revision rounds. You can request adjustments to typography, spacing, chapter headings, and more. Additional revisions are £15 each if needed. We want you to be completely satisfied with the final result.

Yes! Standard and Premium packages include image placement (custom chapter graphics in Standard, unlimited images and graphics in Premium). We handle positioning, sizing, captions, and ensure images meet platform requirements. For complex graphics, tables, or special layouts, Premium package is recommended.

Standard delivery is 14 days, but most authors choose our express option for 2-3 day delivery to launch faster.

Express Success Story:

Michael Anders needed to launch during a conference. We delivered his business book in 2 days. He sold 300 copies at the event and hit Amazon #1 in Business Strategy within a week.
