As a Freelance Book Designer and Publishing Expert, I assist authors, writers, storytellers, entrepreneurs, novelists, coaches & consultants, and publishers in turning manuscripts into professionally formatted, publishing-ready books. My expertise covers paperback, hardcover and eBook formatting for Amazon KDP, or other self-publishing platforms including clean interior layouts, accurate margin settings, clickable table of contents and hyperlinks, professional typography, widow and orphan control, and print-ready PDF files. I also design fully optimized EPUB files for seamless Kindle reading experiences. In addition to eBook formatting, I provide book layout design, front & back cover design, publishing on all platforms, metadata optimization, and guided assistance throughout the KDP upload process. Every project is carefully prepared to meet publishing standards while ensuring a polished, flawless and reader-friendly presentation across both print and digital formats. I have collaborated with both fiction and non-fiction authors, consistently delivering high-quality, detail-oriented results that align with professional publishing requirements.

Freelance Ghostwriter, Editor & Book Formatting Expert

Upwork • Freiberufler

May 2014 - Aug 2018 • 4 yrs 3 mos

I work as a freelance ghostwriter, editor, and book formatting expert, where I ghostwrite both fiction and non-fiction (based on demand) manuscripts based on client concepts, outlines, and research. I edit, proofread, and refine manuscripts to improve clarity, grammar, structure, and overall storytelling quality while collaborating closely with authors to transform raw drafts into polished, publication-ready books. I also provide screenplay editing and formatting services, ensuring scripts for film, television, and stage conform to industry-standard screenplay structure and presentation. In addition, I format books for publishing platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) for eBook, paperback, and hardcover editions, designing professional layouts with proper typography, spacing, and well-structured chapter organization. As a book formatting and layout designer on freelance projects, I prepare manuscripts for Kindle, EPUB, and print publishing formats, create structured layouts including chapter headings, page numbers, table of contents, and front and back matter, and enhance readability through proper margin alignment, spacing, and typography. I ensure all manuscripts meet industry standards for both digital and print publishing while delivering high-quality work, maintaining confidentiality, and meeting client deadlines.
