I have a completed novel manuscript of approximately 85,000 words, organized into 15 chapters across individual PDFs. My goal is to professionally edit, format, and publish it as an E-Book, paperback, and hardcover across major platforms. Here’s the workflow I’m looking for: • Professional editing and proofreading to meet MLA and international publishing standards. • Formatting and typesetting for E-Book, paperback, and hardcover versions. • Interior design/layout to ensure a polished, print-ready book. • Publishing across top platforms: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IngramSpark, Apple Books, and Google Books. • Generating a shareable PDF of the book. • Assistance with Author Central account setup to control pricing/metadata. • Creating valid ISBN and barcode. • Configuring print-on-demand settings for seamless publishing from day one. Final deliverables I expect: 1. Fully edited and formatted manuscript adhering to MLA standards. 2. Retail-ready EPUB and MOBI/KPF files. 3. Print-ready interior PDF for paperback (matching e-book content exactly). 4. ISBN/barcode assets and POD configuration files. 5. A short walkthrough or guide showing platform uploads and setup details (Author Central). The cover of the novel is already complete—this project focuses solely on formatting and publishing preparation.

Hi, I see you are looking for a completed manuscript polished, formatted, and made publication-ready — professional E‑Book (MLA guidelines) and interior layout for eventual paperback edition. We have 8+ years of experience in similar projects. To achieve better results, I would suggest creating a single master .docx file with styles set for both outputs: 12pt Times New Roman for MLA submission, but with a separate paperback style (11pt Garamond, 1.15 line spacing, 0.5" margins) that can be swapped via style mapping — this avoids reformatting twice. For the E‑Book, use inline TOC with hyperlinks and a polished cover design. For paperback, add 0.125" bleed and trim marks, and use left/right mirror margins (0.75" inside, 0.5" outside) . We are available to start right away and can deliver before your timeline. Let's discuss the details.
