a clean, professional interior to best showcase your book

The Perfect Solution for Self-Publishing Your Book

If you want your book to be taken seriously, your book’s interior has to meet the same standard as a traditionally published book.

Because self-publishing is easier than ever, readers are encountering far more books that look self-published: awkward spacing, inconsistent chapter headings, messy page breaks, and other glitches that indicate it’s a DIY job.

You know the expression, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” Sorry, but we totally do, and the interior is no exception.

Your book may be brilliantly written, but if it doesn’t look as professional as its traditionally published peers, it will never come anywhere close to having the success it deserves.

Professional interior formatting is one of the most practical investments you can make in your book’s success and is vital for:

Reader trust and personal recommendations (word-of-mouth and social media sharing are highly valuable for extending a book’s reach and credibility)
Reviews and ratings (Amazon and Goodreads ratings have a huge influence on a book’s future)
Bookstore and library acquisition (with limited shelf space and budget for new books they can only choose select titles)
Your author brand and reputation

Our professional interior formatting gives your book a crisp, clean, industry-standard layout that matches your design preferences, reads beautifully, and shows the world your book is worthy.

Our self-published book formatting service includes:

Guidance with gathering necessary elements (cover art, ISBN, Library of Congress number (U.S.-based authors only), copyright page content, advice on creating an imprint (optional) etc.)
Formatting the manuscript for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark (ebook & print), and/or your chosen Print-on-Demand company either based on standard design or customized to your exact specifications.
Other add-on support is available for helping create accounts with the various online platforms, adding additional images, tables, and/or charts, etc., supporting you with the digital upload process, and other forms of consultation or coaching.

Where Should You Sell Your Book?

#1: Amazon only: Most people buy their books on Amazon, so if you wish to sell your book through only one online bookseller, Amazon is your best platform.

#2: Broadest distribution: To get your book in front of the most readers, the best option is to sell it on Amazon and on all other major bookseller platforms, served by IngramSpark.

(IngramSpark also allows for distribution in physical bookstores and print-on-demand, making them an excellent second option to Amazon).

#3: Personal distribution: If your book is meant for individual sale or personal distribution only, a local print-on-demand (POD) company may be your best course of action.
