Ebook Formatting

A well formatted ebook is essential to a good reading experience. Bad formatting can make a reader put it down, or worse, delete it. Amazon is also cracking down on badly formatted books. As someone who formats my own, and reads a lot of ebooks, I know how important it is to have a beautiful, functioning ebook.

 I now offer ebook formatting services, specializing in epubs for Amazon and wide distribution. The files include a customized, navigable NCX Table of Contents, which KDP now requires. A mobi file is also included for the author's use as an ARC or giveaway.

 I have experience with single title novels, as well as multi-author anthologies and single author box sets.

 Turnaround time is less than one week.

 PLEASE NOTE: At this time, I do not offer Smashwords document formatting. I will, however, provide an epub that meets their requirements.
