Book formatting for e-book, print, and complex layouts.
Interiors a printer accepts the first time and stores render cleanly: e-book editions, print-ready layouts, and premium builds for cookbooks, textbooks, and illustrated books.
Every price is published with no hidden fees, your interiors are delivered in 7 days, and a printer accepts them the first time: book a free strategy call and leave with your exact price for your book.
Three tiers, priced by the work.
Clean e-book editions, validated for Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Books.
E-book and print together: trim, margins, bleed, and typography a printer accepts the first time.
Premium complex layouts for cookbooks, textbooks, and illustrated books, delivered in 7 days and revised free under The Barker Guarantee.
Formatting is invisible when it is right and unmissable when it is wrong. It is the craft that makes a reader forget they are holding a self-published book.
