Professional Book Production
Your Manuscript, Beautifully Crafted.
As an author and publisher, I know that a book’s interior and cover are just as important as the words inside. You’ve done the hard work of writing; let me handle the technical precision required to make your book look professional on the shelf and in the hand.
My Services
1. Professional Interior Typesetting (InDesign)
I specialise in creating clean, readable, and elegant interior layouts. Whether you are publishing a complex non-fiction work with footnotes or a classic novel, I can ensure that your book meets industry standards.
What you get: A press-ready PDF for print-on-demand services such as IngramSpark or KDP, or a professional off-set print service, and a reflowable EPUB for Kindle.
Focus: Perfect margins, expert typography, drop caps, and meticulous handling of front/back matter, including Table of Contents and References. Indexes are also available.
2. Cover Formatting & Assembly (Photoshop & Illustrator)
If you have a vision or existing artwork but struggle with spine calculations and bleed requirements, I can help. I specialise in the "technical design". That means aligning elements perfectly to ensure that your cover is balanced and press-ready.
What you get: A full-wrap cover (Front, Spine, and Back) calculated to your specific page count and paper type.
Note: I work with your provided images or high-quality stock elements to create a polished, professional layout.
3. The Full Publication Package
A cohesive look from the outside in. This package includes both interior typesetting & full cover assembly, ensuring consistency throughout the entire book.
Why Work With Me?
Publisher Experience: I have experience in both traditional & self-publishing. Through my imprint, Temple and Vault Press, I have successfully navigated the technical hurdles of IngramSpark and Amazon KDP, and I know exactly what the printers look for (along with a few little shortcuts and tricks)!
Attention to Detail: Do you ever pick up a book and notice all the bits that are off-centre, misaligned, improperly formatted? I do!
Professional look built from experience: There is no substitute for thousands of hours of active use of InDesign and Photoshop. I focus on ensuring that your complete book is consistent and professional.
