Formatting & Design

Formatting is the process of designing how the text will look in the 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 a minimum of two rounds of revisions to a maximum of four. Additional revisions can be added for an additional cost. All formatting is done in InDesign with all proofs submitted as PDFs.

​

*Formatting does not include proofreading.
