I have a finished 99-page autobiography laid out in Apple Pages and thoroughly cleaned up with Grammarly. The manuscript already includes 75 iPhone photos placed throughout the chapters; the images look crisp on my iMac even though many are below 300 dpi. I now need the entire book professionally formatted for print through Barnes & Noble Press. I will be ordering a 6 × 9-inch hardcover with a case-laminate binding, and I’d like the body text set in a classic serif such as Times New Roman. A matching dust-jacket file is also required. Please take the Pages file and return fully print-ready deliverables: • Interior PDF (6 × 9 in, CMYK, embedded fonts, proper margins and bleeds) • Separate dust-jacket PDF with spine width calculated for case laminate • Any source files you build in InDesign, Affinity, or similar so I can make future edits All photos must remain where they are, sized and positioned so they reproduce cleanly. If any image truly risks pixelation, flag it for me and we’ll decide whether to keep, resize, or substitute. I’m happy to answer questions quickly so we can move this to production without delays.

Hey! A 99 page autobiography with 75 photos placed throughout is a meaningful project, and formatting it correctly for Barnes & Noble Press hardcover production requires more than just a clean layout. Every margin, bleed, image placement, and spine width calculation has to be exact before it goes to print. I'll take your Pages file, rebuild the interior in InDesign with Times New Roman, proper 6×9 margins and bleeds, CMYK color management, and embedded fonts, flagging any images that risk pixelation so we can make the right call together before finalizing. The dust jacket will be built with spine width calculated precisely for your page count and case laminate binding. All source files included for future edits. My price for the complete project is $350. Before I get started, a few quick questions, do you have a specific font size preference for the body text? Do you have a cover design ready for the dust jacket, or will that need to be designed as well? And do you have any style references for the interior layout you'd like me to match? Once we connect, I'll share relevant portfolio samples so you can see the quality firsthand. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks Kiran S
