Three considered interior packages for literary fiction, non-fiction and special editions, with an average turnaround of three to four weeks. Choose the interior that suits your manuscript.
Three packages, one clear foundation
Refined
Distinctive layout with character. Suited for fiction and non-fiction where the story's atmosphere carries through to the interior, from the chapter theme to drop caps and scene breaks.
I design book interiors only, using carefully licensed typography and graphic elements. Through your Author Portal, I provide examples you can select from, or you can suggest your own ideas from the image libraries I license.
Exempt from VAT (art. 56bis W.Btw): 0% VAT surcharge, the listed price is your final cost.
