Book Formatting & Layout

Formatting That Makes Your Book Look as Good as It Reads.

A manuscript isn't a book. The space between them — the typography, the layout, the margins, the chapter breaks — is where readers decide whether you're a professional author or not.

We format your book for print and digital — every file platform-tested and ready to upload the moment it arrives in your inbox.

The Stakes

Poor Formatting Doesn't Just Look Bad. It Costs You Sales.

Amazon rejects non-compliant files. Readers leave reviews mentioning layout errors. Poor typography signals an amateur production — and readers trust that signal.

Why Authors Choose Us

Formatting That Works the First Time

Platform-Tested, Every Time

We run every file through KDP and IngramSpark's preflight tools before delivery. You receive files that are ready to upload — not files that need fixing.

Genre-Appropriate Typesetting

Fiction, non-fiction, children's, academic — formatting conventions differ significantly between genres. Your book is formatted by someone who knows the difference.

Compliant with Current Standards

Amazon KDP and IngramSpark update their specifications regularly. Our formatting process stays current so your book isn't rejected for outdated file formats.

One Project, All Formats

Most authors need both print and eBook files. We produce both from a single pass — maintaining consistency and saving you the cost and delay of two separate services.

Excellent work

I am extremely pleased with the service so far, the consistent review, and follow-up on projects are commendable. I am also pleased with the finished product that I have received. The book project I am sure will receive great reviews, because it was well-managed and published, by Openpagepublishing!

Seamless — even when things went wrong

My illustrator disappeared halfway through my children's book. Open Page Publishing found a replacement within a week. They studied the previous sketches to keep the same style. The transition was seamless.

Microsoft Word (.docx) is preferred — it gives us the most control over the formatting. Google Docs and Pages files are also accepted. We do not recommend submitting a PDF as the source document, as formatting cannot be extracted cleanly from PDF.
