Proofreading
A clean file with every typo, inconsistency and layout error logged and corrected before it reaches a reader.
Book Formatting
Interiors that look like a publisher made them
Formatting is where a manuscript becomes a book object: trim size, margins, typography, running heads, and files that pass retailer validation the first time.
Clear scope and milestones
Author-first ownership
Structured review points
Professional delivery
The problem this solves
Uploading a word-processor file straight to a print platform produces a book that reads as self-made — wrong margins, default type, broken pagination.
