I need my 325-page non-fiction manuscript professionally laid out for both ePub and IngramSpark print. The final trim size is 5.5 × 8.5 inches and the body text must be set in Palatino, so every paragraph, heading, footnote, and running header should respect that style choice. Inside the file you will find 27 images and 30 tables/diagrams. Most graphics are already grayscale, but a handful remain in colour; please convert those to clean black-and-white without losing legibility. All images and tables have to be resized—not split—to sit comfortably inside the 5.5 × 8.5 page without crowding the margins or forcing awkward page breaks. Once layout is complete I’ll need: • A print-ready PDF that passes IngramSpark’s pre-flight checks (bleed, margins, embedded fonts, CMYK conversions, etc.). • A well-tagged, reflowable EPUB that displays the images and tables at appropriate breakpoints and keeps internal links, table of contents, and metadata intact. • The working source file (InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or another industry-standard format) so minor future tweaks are possible. Please take care to: – Keep figure and table numbering consistent with the manuscript’s cross-references. – Preserve typographic niceties: no orphans/widows, balanced spreads, and proper em-dash/en-dash usage. – Run a final spell-check after importing the text to catch any layout-induced issues. If you have solid experience prepping books for IngramSpark, handling image conversions, and delivering clean EPUBs, I’d love to work with you on this.

This project is right in my wheelhouse — book layout for IngramSpark and EPUB delivery is something I've done dozens of times, and your brief tells me you already know exactly what a clean production workflow looks like, which makes collaboration much smoother. Here's what you can count on from me: **Print:** InDesign source file set at 5.5×8.5", Palatino throughout — body, headings, footnotes, running headers — with proper margins for IngramSpark's specs. No orphans, no widows, balanced spreads, consistent figure/table numbering tied to your cross-references. Print-ready PDF with bleed, embedded fonts, and CMYK conversions that pass preflight on the first submission. **Images & Tables:** All colour graphics converted to crisp, legible grayscale. Every image and table resized to fit within the live area without splitting across pages or crowding margins — anchored so they don't drift during reflowing edits. **EPUB:** Reflowable, well-tagged, with a functional TOC, working internal links, clean metadata, and images/tables that adapt properly at different breakpoints. Not an afterthought — a properly structured file. **Deliverables:** Print PDF, EPUB, and the full InDesign working file so future tweaks are simple. One thing that will let me give you an accurate timeline right away — are the 27 images and 30 tables embedded in the manuscript document, or will they come as separate files alongside it?

Hello, I have read your project details carefully and understand that you need your 325 page non fiction manuscript professionally formatted for both IngramSpark print and a reflowable EPUB. I understand the layout must use Palatino throughout, preserve figure and table references, convert remaining color graphics to clean black and white, optimize all images and tables for the 5.5 × 8.5 trim size, and meet IngramSpark's publishing standards without compromising typography or readability. I will create a publication quality layout using Adobe InDesign, ensuring consistent styles, balanced spacing, proper running headers, footnotes, and professional pagination. I will prepare a print ready PDF with embedded fonts, CMYK compliant graphics, and correct margins, while producing a fully tagged EPUB with working navigation, metadata, internal links, and responsive image placement. I will also perform a final spell check and provide the editable source files for future updates. Are the manuscript and images already placed in a Word document, or do you have an existing InDesign file? Do you already have the cover finalized, or should I prepare the interior files only? I would love to deliver a polished, publication ready book that meets IngramSpark requirements and provides a seamless reading experience across both print and digital formats. Let's discuss your timeline and get started. Best Regards, Rabia Shaikh
