355 pages is a massive undertaking. You’ve done the hard work of writing it; now you’re likely terrified that during the layout process, the English and Mandarin will lose their "hand-shake." In a grammar book, a single misaligned character or a misplaced tone mark isn't just a typo—it’s a point of confusion for a student. You need someone who doesn't just "paste" Chinese characters into a template, but who actually reads them. If your designer doesn't understand the Mandarin they are looking at, they won't notice when an explanation drifts away from its example or when a line break orphans a character. I am based here in Malaysia, and I’ll handle your project in RM with a full understanding of our local educational standards. I don't treat this as a generic formatting job; I treat it as an educational build. I’ll make sure your exercises have enough "breathing room" for students to work in the book, and I’ll ensure the transition from print to eBook doesn't break your character rendering or tone marks. Your credibility as an educator relies on the consistency of these 355 pages. I will ensure that the final result looks as professional as the effort you put into writing it. Send me a two-page spread of your most complex exercise. I’ll show you exactly how I’d align the languages and structure the layout for maximum clarity before we even talk about a rate.
