Special, ultra rare author selfie. (Ultra rare for those that don’t know me personally anyway 😂)
Lots of love to my amazing friend @tom.morrows for telling me what I should be posting because my aesthetic is just all kinds of awful. 😂 I miss youuu. 💕
Heya.
I decided to start doing this because well… I’m damn good at it. I’ll format your print or ebook according to the specifications of whatever company you decide to use. I have experience on both Amazon (Kindle and Createspace) and Ingram, but so long as you give me the right details, then I’ll be able to do any other distributor. If you also have your cover pictures and blurb and whatnot, I can format your cover for you, too.
Know that I will NOT be copy-editing your book for you. That is not the job of a formatter. But if I do happen to see a typo during formatting, then I’ll let you know. Though please be aware that formatting should be done at the final stage once the manuscript has been looked over, edited, and finalized because changing words may result in moved dashes—especially for print copies.
Why does that matter?
When a print book’s text is justified not all lines will be the same length. This is a huge problem with indie authors. I’ve seen many print books without justified text, and when they do have it, the word alignments aren’t straight because they didn’t think to add dashes at the end of paragraphs or between words to make sure the alignment was even. So, basically what I’ll do is make your manuscript look as professional as possible.
I’ll go through your manuscript page by page, correcting lines, evening them out, and making sure headers and footers are where you want them to be. I’ll also format the title page, blank pages (making sure headers/footers are disconnected), copyright page, dedication, etc., according to the proper specifications needed by your distributor.
Changing some more things. The footer area in particular. I’m tired of the little corner I’ve placed there and just decided to put timelines of my social media accounts instead. At least that way it’s always changing. Also tinkering with the sidebar some and maybe I’ll change a few of the pages I have up. Maybe. My About section seems pretty old. and my main menu bar could use some cleaning.
Hmm..
Anyway, if anyone’s reading this, please be patient as the blog undergoes some tweaking. It’ll come out better. (I hope.) I’ve also decided to put up a guest post, freelance formatting, and author interview section. It’s not up yet, but I’ve committed myself to having it up by the end of the day. If any of you are interested in any of those things that I’ve just mentioned, then please feel free to reach out to me via the contact form. I may also put up a book review section, but that’s still up in the air since I don’t know how much free time I’ll have in the coming months for something as tedious as book reviews.
Now, if anyone needs me for anything else, then I’m around.
EDIT: A book formatting service section has been added. Guest post and Author Interview request instructions have been added to the contact page.
EDIT 2: Footer has been changed.
Just finished changing feature images on my pages to give my blog a new, better, more me look. If anyone is on a tablet or PC, I’d really appreciate it if you checked it out for me and gave me some feedback. (Should I switch a few for more variety or is it good as it is?—that sort of thing.)
All of these will be posted on my Instagram in the coming weeks, as these images were originally taken for the new IG theme I decided to stick with, so if you want to see more, then head on over and make yourself known. These will also be cross posted to wordpress as plain word posts sooner or later as well. Since these were all just random scrawls I made last night. I’ll do some post scheduling at the end of the month before school starts up again.
