Cristian R.
Book Layout & Formatting Expert | InDesign | KDP & EPUB
I help publishing houses and independent authors transform manuscripts into professionally typeset, production-ready books for print and digital distribution. With over 19 years of experience in editorial design and book production, I specialise in book layout, interior formatting, and advanced Adobe InDesign workflows for both fiction and complex non-fiction projects. My work goes beyond surface formatting. I create clean, well-structured interior files using disciplined paragraph and character style systems, automated numbering, cross-references, and proper long-document architecture. The result is a book interior that is visually refined, technically sound, consistent, and easy to maintain or update. I prepare files fully compliant with Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other Print-on-Demand platforms, delivering: • Print-ready PDFs (press-ready, preflight-checked) • Reflowable EPUBs and fixed-layout EPUBs • Fully packaged Adobe InDesign files with organized styles and structure I work with a wide range of book types, including: • Fiction and narrative non-fiction • Academic and reference books • Medical guides and self-help books • Workbooks and educational manuals • Children’s books • Catalogs and brochures Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success and dozens of 5★ reviews, I combine technical precision, typography expertise, and editorial sensibility to deliver books that meet professional publishing standards and client expectations. If you want a reliable, experienced book layout and typesetting specialist who can handle everything from clean text-based books to complex, highly visual projects, I’d be glad to collaborate.
