I’m looking for a meticulous typesetter to lay out an entire book in English. The manuscript is ready in Word; what I need now is a clean, publication-quality interior that reads well both in print and as a PDF. Your task covers everything from setting up the master pages and styles, to flowing the text, placing headings, footnotes, and page numbers, and ensuring consistent typography throughout. Tables, images, and chapter openers must sit exactly where they belong without crowding the page or breaking flow. While this project is for an English-language book, experience working with multilingual scripts—especially Sinhala—will be appreciated because I may have similar projects in the pipeline. Deliverables • Print-ready PDF with bleeds and crop marks • Editable source file (InDesign preferred, but Scribus or Affinity Publisher are fine if you explain your workflow) • A brief style sheet summarising fonts, sizes, leading, and colour specs I value accuracy, respect for deadlines, and clear communication. If you bring a keen eye for detail and can turn pages that look as good as they read, let’s talk.

Hi, I have carefully gone through your requirement for book typesetting and layout design, and this is exactly the kind of work I have been doing for many years. I am the founder of Mod Print Design, based in India, with over 25 years of experience in book design, educational publishing and print production. We have worked on a wide range of books including English content, ensuring clean typography, proper formatting and print-ready outputs. I can assist you with complete book formatting including master pages, styles, headings, footnotes, images placement and delivering a professional print-ready PDF along with the editable source file. We are an active design and publishing firm, and you can also find our work and presence across platforms like LinkedIn, website and social media. I would be happy to share those details with you if required. If you would like, I can also create a sample page from your manuscript so you can review the quality before proceeding. I focus on clarity, consistency and making sure the book reads smoothly while maintaining a professional layout. Looking forward to discussing your project.
