I have a 151-page, 5.5" x 8.5" black-and-white historical fiction novel for readers aged 8-14 that needs to be fully prepared for Kindle Direct Publishing and standard e-book storefronts. The interior should feel decorative and thematic without becoming cluttered; beyond that, I trust your judgment on appropriate fonts and layout choices. The only specific interior request is to keep page numbers centered at the bottom of every page. Deliverables • EPUB ready for retail • MOBI for legacy Kindle devices • Print-ready PDF interior for paperback • Print-ready PDF interior for hardback • KDP-compliant paperback cover PDF • KDP-compliant hardback cover PDF • High-resolution eBook cover JPG • Layered PSD of the paperback cover for future tweaks I’ll supply the manuscript in Word along with a single PNG that should serve as both the front and back cover artwork. That file will need to be resized, given correct bleed, spine width, and converted to CMYK where necessary. Feel free to advise if any additional assets or tweaks are required for optimal KDP submission. Tools such as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Kindle Previewer are perfectly fine if they streamline the workflow. Let me know of any questions or if you see potential issues that could be addressed before export. I’m looking forward to matching (or topping) the quality of the last book you formatted for us.

Hi there, I can tell this isn’t just a formatting job , you want a child-friendly historical novel that feels polished, decorative, and KDP-safe without losing readability. That balance is exactly where strong book design matters, and I can handle the whole production flow from Word manuscript to retail-ready EPUB, MOBI, print PDFs, and cover files. I’ve worked with InDesign, Photoshop, and Kindle Previewer to build clean interiors, centered page numbers, and press-ready covers with correct bleed, spine width, and CMYK conversion. For your 151-page 5.5" x 8.5" book, I’ll keep the layout thematic but uncluttered so it suits ages 8-14 and still passes KDP checks for paperback and hardback. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Could you confirm whether you want a single print design style carried across paperback and hardback, or any format-specific tweaks for each edition? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Thanks, Asad
