Interior Book Formatting Options

Below, you’ll find our five interior book formatting services, including the add-on option of converting your book into an e-book format for online services like Kindle, Nook, iBook, and other tablets.

Palmore Interior

Palmore Interior is our standard option, best suited for books with straightforward and conventional layouts. Manuscripts that are text-oriented with uniform design and formatting are best suited to this service. Memoirs and many fiction books often fit into this category.

This option does not include indexing but will provide a table of contents. This option also does not include more than one image or complex formatting of any kind.

Custom Interior

Our custom interior book formatting service is our most popular choice for authors. Custom Interiors can work with most genres but is particularly popular for books of poetry, children’s books, and historical nonfiction

We call it “Custom Interior” because you, as an author, will have more options for telling the story you want to tell, using dynamic pictures and layouts instead of merely plain text. This option also gives you more flexibility with 2 rounds of changes to ensure your book looks just right.

Custom Interior includes:

Complex Interior

Our Complex Interior formatting is best for any book with an index or books with up to 100 images, text boxes, or other special formatting instances, such as history books, biographies, certain reference books, and others . With complex formatting, we can format captions or references in the text indicating the photos, making it a complex process that requires the seasoned designer’s finesse. 

Complex Interior includes:

Complex Plus

Take our Complex Interior book formatting service and make it even better! Complex Plus is great for books with up to 200  images or special formatting instances, such as textbooks, cookbooks, and photography books . With this book formatting service, your project manager will set up a consultation with you to design a mock-up before formatting begins. We want to ensure your book turns out exactly how you envisioned it. 

Complex Plus includes:

E-book Conversion

E-book Conversion can only be purchased in addition to one of the other four services. E-book conversions make your book text, images, etc., available in digital form to be readable on screens or other electronic devices. With this add-on, you can make your book more widely available and accessible online. While there are many free converters online, they make poor substitutes for true EPUB format conversion and ruin your work’s integrity. 

Our e-book conversion will be compatible with e-book devices and platforms such as Kindle, Nook, and iBook and uses EPUB files for both Flowable and Fixed Layout e-books.

What Is Book Formatting?

Book formatting is how your manuscript looks and reads. It’s the process of getting a manuscript ready for publication and ensuring the layout and design are consistent and visually appealing. It involves different elements such as font size, page color, word count, page numbers, line spacing, paragraph breaks, images, charts, graphs, and maps. Professionally formatted text is just as essential as the cover because it improves your story’s structure and flow and can enhance the reading experience.
