The transformation

Drag the line. Same words, different book.

On the left: your manuscript, the way manuscripts really look. On the right, the same words as a book: a title page, a copyright page with your details in order, your dedication on its own quiet page, a table of contents that built itself, chapters that open the way chapters open in books you love, running heads, page numbers, and typography chosen by people who argue about typography so you never have to.

The same pages typeset — a finished spread from The Shipwright's Daughter

Before — your Word docAfter — your book

Real pages from The Shipwright's Daughter — typeset by this exact service.

What's included

Plainly.

Complete manuscript-to-print formatting: professional typesetting in your choice of book fonts, all front matter built from your answers (title, copyright, dedication, acknowledgements, about the author), automatic table of contents, your trim size and paper color, and a print-ready PDF validated against Amazon KDP's specifications — the file that uploads without drama.

Writing with images — photos, figures, illustrations? We place them properly, captions and all (+$79). Want a hardcover edition too? +$99.

The quiet fears

Answered.

“My file is a mess.”

Good — that's the job. Manuscripts arrive with tab-indents, double spaces, and seventeen fonts. They leave as books.

“What if I find a typo after?”

Your book, your words — we format what you send, so proof your text with care; if you catch something after delivery, small text corrections are a quick revision, not a new purchase.

“How long?”

Most projects are delivered within 24 hours of payment.

“What do I actually have to do?”

Fill out one form. Upload one file. That's the whole ask.

Proof

One night, manuscript to paperback.
