Jo Michaels (jomichaels) | 34 comments Very different from formatting ebooks (though I can do that, too). I do book formatting. You get running headers, page numbers, ToC, front matter, and everything else you see in a traditional print book. I hold a degree in graphic design, use Adobe InDesign CS5, and am 100% compatible with all publishers. I can also work with images that bleed, illustrations, and photos with text wrapped.

I know orphans and widows and make sure your text is free from these common errors.

I price based on length and complexity of text (images included, etc...). Because proper formatting takes time. Feel free to message me on Goodreads or e-mail me at yassabook2012 [at] gmail [dot] com and we'll talk shop.

Christine Rice (christine_rice) | 26 comments I, too, do print book formatting. I work with Lulu and CreateSpace. So far, I've successfully formatted four manuscripts for Lulu and two manuscripts for CreateSpace. I am an expert at Microsoft Word, so I am skilled at formatting documents.

When I format a manuscript, I go through the entire manuscript and remove any formatting errors, make the formatting consistent, put page breaks where needed, and create an accurate table of contents. If you don't already have a title page and copyright page, I will create simple versions of those for you.

I use Lulu's and CreateSpace's formatting guidelines, and I make the document 100% ready for uploading into their publishing system successfully.

I am a freelance writer and editor, and a published author. I have been formatting print books since 2007.

You can contact me through my website or through Goodreads and I will be happy to help you with your formatting needs.
