I also want to design the interior page layout and formatting for you book. The inside of your book is just as important as the cover. I love typography. I believe in making your interior copy easy to read so the viewer wants to keep reading it! Contact me for more information about this service as each book has it's own special requirements.

What makes the interior design so important?

The interior page design is just as important as the cover design. When people go to a book store they will choose a book with a cover that appeals to them and then open the book to any page and immediately decide sub-consciously if it will be a 'readable' fit for them. Each of us has a predetermined mental list, a criteria of what makes a book 'good' for us that we carry around with us at all times. The decision to "buy" is determined in a split second.

You did a great job for me Kareen ... I had a very difficult and intense interior book design that required not only technical expertise but "patience" as well.  Kareen, persevered throughout its development which produced a final product that was SUPERB!  Indeed, I am grateful. Most cordially,
Mike Cessna, Life Eternal, Cover and Interior

Why hire me as your professional book interior designer

As a professional book designer I'm experienced with design programs like QuarkXpress, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, which make all the difference to the final look of your book! Creating a book that looks wonderful from the inside out requires skill, time, and careful attention to detail to get it that way. Contact me.

My interior page layout services include the process of going through your book many times checking to be sure all widows, hyphenation, font size and leading, headers, page numbers, chapter titles, special elements, charts, graphs and photo images are correct and that your book has a consistent "nature", the look feel when read... the idea is to keep the pages turning.

In addition to creating a design that incorporates all the necessary elements and your manuscript together in a pleasing layout, the final product and digital files will be as cost-effective as possible to produce. As a professional I'll make sure your files are problem-free when sent to the printer and I will be available for the first print run to make any changes necessary if the files I send need attention. I'll do my best to be sure your book is a pleasure to read.

A well designed interior is just as important as a professionally designed cover. People are more attracted to visually appealing designs that look like care was taken in their production. Therefore, adding to the success of your overall book sales and acceptance in main stream publishing

How my interior page design process works...

I'll need to see your manuscript OR get an approximate word count and content info from you, to accurately estimate your interior. This can be emailed to me.
