Help with Book Formatting discussion

I have added a group rule today about not selling your services within discussions, if there are people who would like to outsource their formatting I thought we should at least have a discussion solely for members to see who they can go to for help.

So, in this thread, please post a couple of lines (not an essay) detailing what you offer and your website address. Please don't advertise your rates on here, just basic information and contact details so members can make up their own minds.

Thanks!

Thanks Ellie. Do you use InDesign for your books?

I do, I have version CS 5.5, although I only use it for POD books, so far don't like how the epubs look. Maybe I just haven't done it properly.

Thanks Ellie. That's great. Yes, I agree: ePubs exported from InDesign are not the best quality. We use other ePub creation software from the pdfs, which maintain all the graphics/fonts etc. developed in the InDesign. Please let me know your contact email as I'd like to see a sample of your InDesign work (pdf is fine to review it). Cheers :)

The Fast Fingers Book Formatting Service

Hello, I'm Alice and I'm a Canadian based ebook and print book designer.

Let me take some of the burden of being a writer off you hands. I provide both print and ebook design services, including interior layout and design, cover design when provided with artwork, ebook file creation and conversion to various ebook file formats. As part of my services, I provide basic typo and punctuation proofreading, and can provided much more in-depth proofreading if requested.

I believe that a well designed ebook is just as vital as a well designed print book. I believe in working with the author to create a book whose design reflects the author's personality and desired intent.

I will do both fiction and non-fiction publications. I have experience in photo editing as well as design, and have worked with photographically illustrated publications.

I am pleasant, knowledgeable and hard-working. I go above and beyond what is required of me on most jobs.

If you are interested in customized layout and design from an experienced self-employed designer, I could be the formatter that you are seeking. Please feel free to contact me for a quote.

As a Canadian designer, I prefer to work with Canadian authors and publishers, but will work with individuals from different countries upon negotiation.

My rates are $20/hour, negotiable. Tell me your story! If you a new, fledging author, or one with little resources, we can probably work something out.

Visit my webpage at http://www.groundhogcomputingservices... for more information.

Message or email me if you have any questions! I would love to work with you!
