Charlottesville, VA Virginia, USA Book Formatting - Formatting a book to look good, read well and retain stylistic continuity should be the goal of any formatting process. Book covers set up book interior expectations... The interior formatting follows through and delivers on that expectation.  All interior pages, fonts, line spacing, chapter headings, page numbers and paragraph breaks should relay the same message: This is a cohesive, well-thought-out and artistically satisfying book- both to look at and to read.

Formatting (Paperback and E-book)  is fundamentally about continuity detail.  Rules, regulations and standard practices are secondary to continuity.  At Book Done For You we know all the standard rules and practices, but we also know how to break them.  Together we can quickly come up with a plan that fits your book: Traditional formatting, Wild-Creative formatting, Modern formatting, Indie-Book formatting, Major-publisher formatting.  The formatting styles are endless.
