From the editor assigned to my manuscript to the cover designer who nailed the brief on the first round, every step felt handled. My paperback was on Amazon and Barnes & Noble within weeks.
Book Layout & Design
From industry-standard to fully custom interior book layout & design
To give you the most publishing flexibility, Kingswell Press offers three book
layouts and design options for your book interior.
Book layout and design are an important part of preparing your book for its publication debut. This piece of the publication puzzle has many parts and varies greatly based on the genre of your book. Fiction book interiors, for example, have very different needs than say a cookbook or a children's book.
Some common elements that make up a book's interior layout are margins, fonts (including body text, headlines, subheadings, title page, etc.), bullet list icons, line spacing, drop caps, headers, footers, divider pages, section dividers, chapter numbers, chapter title treatments, image treatment, and other formatting elements of this nature.
When it comes to the layout and design of their book interiors, authors often fall into one of three groups.
Industry Standard Book Layout & Design
If you have very specific formatting requirements that often differ by chapter, or even by page, our Custom Book Layout & Design service allows you to have one-on-one, page-by-page input with your professional book designer for a totally unique, exactly the way you want it, book interior.
Authors in this group are best served by the free Industry-Standard Book Layout & Design included with every publishing package
Enhanced Book Layout & Design
If you have a few very specific things you are looking for your book interior layout to have, but you don't need to be involved in the nitty-gritty of every single page, Enhanced Book Layout & Design is for you.
Perhaps you know what font you want to use, or the way you want the headers or footers to look, or you have a great chapter page idea, etc., we can incorporate those elements into the final design for your book and our professional book designers will take care of the rest of the design elements that you don't have specific input on.
Perhaps you want your final book formatted as closely as possible to your originally-submitted manuscript. Or maybe you just want to make sure your interior is unlike any other book out there.
Authors in this group are best served by our optional Enhanced Book Layout & Design service.
Custom Book Layout & Design
If you have very specific formatting requirements that often differ by chapter, or even by page, our Custom Book Layout & Design service allows you to have one-on-one, page-by-page input with your professional book designer for a totally unique, exactly the way you want it, book interior.
Authors in this group are best served by our optional Custom Interior Formatting service.
A word from an author about the Enhanced Book Layout & Design.
Authors who've published with Kingswell Press share their experience, from manuscript development and cover design to international book distribution and marketing.
I came in with a half-finished memoir and walked out with a polished book, an ISBN, and global distribution. The marketing plan turned a quiet launch into a real reader base.
I've worked with two other publishers before. The difference here is the structure, clear timelines, real human support, and zero surprises on rights. I kept everything and still got the full-service treatment.
