Formatting
They say that you judge a book by its cover, but formatting and typesetting are equally important. Your book is a work of art and every detail matters from the font choice to the spacing. Professional formatting increases readability and helps to minimizes distractions, allowing your reader to more fully immerse themselves in your work. Your project deserves the best presentation, and I’m here to deliver it in print and eBook formats.

"Natalie was more than helpful in designing and editing a personal history book about one our family members. Her input was professional, turn-around time on many occasions was immediate, and her overall involvement, from writing and designing to publishing, made this project a delightful experience. "
Kathy
"I found Natalie very easy to work with. From day one working on the project, she was good at communicating and prompt at responding. I was impressed at how she was able to incorporate my ideas in a way that made the finished product look professional. She also suggested a few ideas which I found very clever, and delightfully tied into the book's theme. I plan on using her skill set for future projects and would highly recommend her."
