Typesetting

Typesetting 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

Ebook Formatting

Ebook formatting creates the Ebook from scratch, coding everything from the ground up. Ebook designs can be done independently, with the print layout or built from an existing print layout.

This includes:

Choosing fonts and heading styles
Creating the layout for text and images
Creating tables and lists
Creating links as needed for chapters, footnotes, images and external materials
Designing the half title and title pages, copyright page, contents and back matter as needed
Optimizing the content for use across various Ebook devices
Making sure the Ebook meets accessibility standards

All formatting includes two rounds of revisions. Additional revisions can be added for an additional cost. Print formatting is done in InDesign with proofs submitted as a PDF. Ebook formatting is done in Sigil with the proofs submitted as an ePub.

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.
