I have a finished manuscript for a character-building story aimed squarely at readers aged 6-12, and I’m ready to turn it into a polished, press-ready product. I need two things done seamlessly: 1. Interior formatting • Print edition: set up trim size, margins, gutter, bleed, page numbers and a clean, engaging layout that feels age-appropriate. • eBook edition: convert the same layout into both PDF and ePub, ensuring images, headings and interactive table of contents display flawlessly across common readers. 2. Full cover design Front, back and spine for the paperback, plus a re-sized version for the eBook thumbnail. I’ll supply the title, back-cover blurb and any brand colours; you bring the illustration, typography and layout expertise that make the book leap off both screens and shelves. Please work in CMYK for print, RGB for digital, and hand over the final packaged InDesign (or equivalent), print-ready PDF, high-resolution cover files and the two eBook formats. Let me know your turnaround time, any similar middle-grade projects you’ve completed, and the tools you prefer to use so I can match file versions.

Hi We can turn your finished children’s manuscript into a polished, press-ready book by building an age-appropriate interior layout and a matching, fully packaged cover suite. I’ve spent the last 10 years solving exactly this type of print + eBook formatting problem. We will set trim size, margins, gutter, bleed, and page numbering for print, then adapt the same design grid for ePub/Digital while ensuring headings, image scaling, and TOC behavior render correctly across common readers. For the cover, we’ll create paperback front/back/spine in CMYK and deliver RGB-ready digital assets, including a crisp eBook thumbnail version. We’ll package the final InDesign (or equivalent) source, generate print-ready PDF, and export both eBook formats with the correct color workflow and file versions. Best regards, Zeeshan
