Basic Formatting

Your story deserves to look as beautiful as it reads. Even the best stories need a little wardrobe upgrade!

£7/1000 words

What is it?

Think of formatting as giving your manuscript a beautiful outfit. I’ll work with you to set up the interior of your book—helping choose fonts, margins, chapter headings and page layouts—so it’s inviting and professional whether it’s for print or ebook.

Who is it for?

If you’ve finished your manuscript but feel overwhelmed by all the technical stuff or want your book to look polished, this is your service. It’s for anyone who wants to skip the formatting headaches and get a beautifully designed book.

What do you get?

A ready-to-publish file that looks consistent and professional, with a warm, inviting style that matches your vibe. 

 

Please note: This service provides straightforward formatting and does not include advanced design features or InDesign formatting.

Why choose it?

Because a well-formatted book makes reading easier and more enjoyable, and it shows your readers you care about quality. Plus, it saves you time and frustration trying to do it yourself.

Here's a peek at my work

Example Formatting

  • What types of editing services do you offer?
    I offer a range of services including manuscript reviews, copy editing, proofreading and basic interior book formatting to help you produce polished, professional work.
  • How do I determine which service I need?
    If you want feedback on your story, choose a manuscript review. For polishing your writing, consider copy editing or proofreading. For preparing your book for publication, opt for formatting services. Feel free to get in touch for personalised guidance.
  • How do I get started?
    Simply reach out through the contact form or email, send your project details, and I’ll provide a quote along with the next steps.
  • Do you offer a free sample edit?
    I offer a free sample edit (usually no more than 1,000 words) to all writers who contact me about my full editorial services, but there are also examples of my work on each individual services page. There is a limit of 1 sample edit per client.
  • How long does the process take?
    Turnaround times depend on the service and project scope. I’ll provide an estimated timeline when you request a quote.
  • Do you work with non-fiction, poetry or memoirs?
    Unfortunately not. I mainly focus on fiction and novels, so that's where my expertise really shines. That said, I’ve dabbled a bit with non-fiction, poetry and memoirs, but my heart is in helping fiction authors bring their stories to life.
  • What file formats do you accept?
    I primarily work with Word documents (.doc/.docx). Other formats like PDFs can be reviewed depending on the service.
  • How do I know if my manuscript or project is suitable for your services?
    If you’re seeking professional feedback or help to prepare your work for publication, I can assist. Get in touch if you’re unsure.
  • Do you edit with US or UK English?
    Both! Just let me know your preference when we're discussing your project.
