My 26-page English-language horror ebook is written, but it still needs a professional touch. I want you to refine the paragraphing, smooth out the flow of the story, and insert engaging passage titles as well as a compelling main book title—all while preserving my original voice and intent. The story blends several horror tones, so rather than forcing it into a rigid style I’d like you to respect the atmosphere already on the page and heighten it organically. Character development, plot cohesion, setting—everything matters to me in equal measure, so please give the manuscript a holistic line-by-line edit. I can provide the Word document immediately. Turnaround within a month is perfect; quality is more important than speed, but I’d still like regular check-ins so...

I have a collection of original poems waiting to be brought together in a beautifully crafted book. Before I decide whether the final piece becomes a personal keepsake, a gift, or something I release for sale, I need to see it fully realised with artwork and layout that feel just right.

Here’s what I’m imagining so far: • An overall aesthetic driven by abstract, possibly watercolor-styled illustrations—organic shapes, flowing colour, and plenty of negative space. •...

I have my manuscript in ePub format and now need it set up for Amazon KDP at 8.5" × 11". The main task is to resize the file, but I’m not yet certain whether the interior will require additional layout work once the new trim size is applied. You can let me know after you inspect the file and we’ll decide together if elements such as headers, images, page numbers or margins need adjustment. Amazon’s print guidelines must be met—embedded fonts, correct bleed settings, and a file size that uploads without warning flags—so please work in whichever tool you’re most comfortable with (InDesign, Kindle Create, Affinity Publisher, etc.) as long as the output passes KDP’s pre-press checks. Deliverables: • Resized interior at 8.5" ...

I have a finished manuscript in Word (DOCX) that I want available for sale on Amazon as quickly as possible.

The trim size is 6 × 9, and I need the interior to look as polished as any top-shelf title on Amazon. Here is what matters most to me: every chapter must open with consistent, professional headings; headers and footers should appear on the correct even/odd pages and include tasteful text with graphics; and the Kindle edition must feature a fully clickable table of contents. Proper margins, line spacing, widows and orphans control, and balanced typography are non-negotiable.
