BOOK FORMATTING
I will format your novel for both Kindle (.ePub) and paperback (.pdf).
The final format will feature a contents page, chapter headings, section breaks, first-line formatting, any desired images (full page only, not amongst the manuscript itself), and chapter/section art if requested and agreed upon.
See below for examples of layouts and chapter artwork.
Pricing:
For your guidance, fully formatted paperback novels (with title pages, contents, etc.) usually contain between 220 and 240 words per page.

Notes:
-
The manuscript must be complete, free from errors, and ready for publication as proofreading is not included.
-
Any images you wish to be included, such as a map, must also be included.
-
Any back matter, e.g. Recommended books and biographies must also be included.
-
In the paperback, chapters will begin on the right-hand page, as is industry standard.
-
Covers are not created or included, as I am not an artist or graphic designer. Please speak to me if there is something you want in this regard.
-
I will do my best to reduce "widows" (pages with little type) in the paperback version, but this is often dependent upon the manuscript. Fewer "widows" reduce the page count and delivery cost, which means more profit for the author.
