2. Receive Your Quote: I’ll confirm pricing, turnaround time, and any extras based on your specific project.
3. Provide Your Manuscript: Once you’re happy to go ahead, send your completed, edited manuscript in Microsoft Word format (.doc or .docx), along with any special formatting preferences.
4. Formatting Process: I’ll professionally format your manuscript according to your chosen package and KDP specifications — clean layout, consistent styles, and perfect spacing.
5. Review & Revisions: You’ll receive your formatted files to review and can request any adjustments within your included revision rounds.

Why Work With Me

Why Use Book Formatting Services

Author to Author Understanding: I’m a published children’s author who’s been through the full self-publishing journey — from manuscript to KDP hardback, paperback, ebook, and audiobook — so I know what it takes to produce professional, polished books that pass every platform’s checks.

Real Experience with Multiple Platforms I’ve formatted and published books successfully through Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, IngramSpark, ACX, and BookFunnel — meaning I know exactly what each one requires.:

Technical Accuracy: Every file I create is checked against current KDP and industry standards. Your book will be ready to upload with the right margins, fonts, and specifications — no rejected files or upload stress.

Professional Tools, Not Templates: I use professional publishing software trusted by authors and formatters worldwide — ensuring consistent layouts, clickable tables of contents, and error-free EPUBs and PDFs.

Clear Communication: You’ll always know what stage your project is at. I provide realistic timelines, explain every step, and respond quickly to questions.

Tailored Support: Every author and manuscript is unique. I adapt formatting styles and recommendations to fit your genre, readership, and publishing goals — not one-size-fits-all templates.

Quality Guarantee: Your files will meet technical and visual standards for KDP and other platforms. If something doesn’t pass a platform check, I fix it — no extra charge.

Stress-Free Process: You can relax knowing your book is in experienced hands. I handle the formatting so you can focus on what you love — writing and marketing your book.

Transparent Pricing: Clear, flat-rate packages with no hidden extras. You’ll know exactly what’s included and what your final deliverables are.

Passion For Books: I truly love helping authors bring their stories to life. Seeing another writer hold their finished book for the first time is one of my favourite moments.

Why authors choose Bolster Book Services: Expert formatting, clear communication, and genuine support from someone who’s walked the same publishing path.
