(layout + export of print-ready PDF using your final manuscript)
Formatting is created from the final manuscript you provide. You’ll approve a final proof before printing to make sure everything reads perfectly.
For formatting projects, I recommend ordering a printed proof copy and if possible, sending one to me so I can double-check layout and alignment on the physical book.

Timelines and final quotes depend on scope and calendar availability.
