Formatting & Layout

Formatting is the process of designing the interior of a published book.

​

This includes

  • Choosing fonts and heading styles

  • Creating the layout for text, images, folios, running heads and feet

  • Ensuring the layout does not distract from the text by controlling orphans, widows, ladders, rivers and other potential distractions

  • Designing the half title and title pages, copyright page, contents and back matter as needed.

​

All formatting includes two rounds of revisions. Additional revisions can be added for an additional cost. Formatting is done in InDesign with proofs submitted as PDFs.

​

AClarke Editorial only offers formatting for text based manuscripts with minimal images.

​

*Formatting does not include proofreading.

Amanda is a rare find among the community of writers, editors, and interior designers. She not only helped me create a captivating book blurb for my memoir, which has brought many people to tears, but also executed the interior layout of my book exactly as I had envisioned. She was patient with me, which I know was hard at times because I'm a perfectionist, paid attention to detail, offered advice, answered every question I had whether or not it was in her expertise, and delivered everything in a timely manner. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her on The Glow Up: Ascending in My Twenties. I would recommend Amanda to anyone, especially an emerging author.
