Fida R.
Book Editor & Formatting Expert | KDP Cover Design & Publishing
Your book deserves to read and look like it came from a publishing house, not a template. I'm a book editor and formatting specialist with 8+ years in self-publishing. I take manuscripts from rough draft to retail-ready: polished editing, professional interior design, genre-right covers, and a smooth launch on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and every major platform, while I handle the technical details most authors dread. What I deliver: Book editing & proofreading: developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and AI-content humanization for AI-assisted manuscripts, so your book reads flawlessly before it's formatted Print interior formatting & typesetting (paperback and hardcover, fiction and nonfiction), clean layouts in Adobe InDesign that pass KDP and IngramSpark review the first time eBook conversion: validated EPUB/EPUB3 files that render correctly on Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, and Nook Book cover design: genre-appropriate covers engineered to sell, with correct spine calculation and print-ready files Publishing setup & consultation: KDP/IngramSpark account setup, metadata, categories, keywords, and pricing strategy Why authors choose me: Recent clients on Upwork describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and a clear communicator — and every completed contract on my profile is rated 5.0 stars, including a client who noted I "delivered a fully edited and formatted manuscript quickly without sacrificing quality." I respond within a few hours, I meet deadlines, and I include revisions until the files are exactly right. Recent work: edited and formatted multi-book series for nonfiction authors, designed covers across genres from children's science books to self-help, and produced magazine-style editorial layouts. Tools: Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, Vellum-style layouts, Kindle Create, EPUB validation tools. If you have a manuscript ready, or you're stuck partway through the publishing process, send me a message with your word count, genre, and timeline, and I'll tell you exactly what it will take to get your book published properly.
