I have a full manuscript of poems sitting in Scrivener and I need a fellow Scrivener-savvy writer in the Boise, Idaho area to polish it for publication. The two big hurdles are getting the page breaks and section dividers to land exactly where I want them and then running a clean Compile. I’ll also need each individual poem checked so line breaks, stanza spacing, and indentation survive the compile process intact. Once the project looks right inside Scrivener, I’d like to export it—ideally in every format a small press might ask for: PDF, ePub/Mobi, and Word. If you know tricks for tweaking the Compile settings to hit all three targets without rebuilding presets from scratch, even better. Here’s what I’m hoping you can walk me through and, where needed, do for me: • Tidy up page breaks and section settings inside the Scrivener project • Fine-tune formatting for each poem so it remains consistent after export • Configure Compile presets that output flawless PDF, ePub/Mobi, and Word files • Deliver the final Scrivener project file plus the three finished exports We can screen-share, meet at a Boise coffee shop, or work out another local solution—whatever lets us move quickly. If you’re fluent in Scrivener’s compile pane and have formatted poetry before, I’d love to get started right away.

Hi, I understand this isn't just about exporting a Scrivener project. Poetry depends on precise line breaks, stanza spacing, page flow, and intentional white space, so the compile process has to preserve every formatting choice across PDF, Word, and ePub. I can organize your Scrivener project, fine tune section layouts, configure reusable Compile presets, and ensure each poem exports exactly as intended without broken spacing or misplaced page breaks. You'll receive the updated Scrivener project along with polished PDF, Word, and ePub exports. I can also work over screen sharing if that's the most convenient approach. Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Do you already have a specific trim size and publishing format required by your intended publisher, or should the Compile presets be optimized for general small press submission standards? Warm Regards, Huma

Hi, I can surely assist you with polishing and formatting your poetry manuscript in Scrivener and preparing it for publication. I have experience working with document formatting, page layouts, section breaks, and export settings to ensure the final files look professional across PDF, ePub/Mobi, and Word formats. I can help you organize the Scrivener project, fix poem formatting issues like line breaks, stanza spacing, and indentation, and configure the Compile settings properly without unnecessary rebuilding. I can also provide the final Scrivener file along with all required exports. Could you please share the current Scrivener file and let me know if you already have a preferred publishing format/style guide? Also, how many poems and approximate word count/pages does the manuscript contain? Thanks.
