If your manuscript isn’t in standard format, this service will get it publishing-ready before professional book formatting begins. I’ll prepare your manuscript (up to 150k words) in Microsoft Word to match standard manuscript conventions, including:

• Consistent paragraph and line spacing
• Properly formatted dialogue
• Clearly marked scene breaks
• Correctly styled chapter headings

This service is ideal if your manuscript contains extra blank lines, inconsistent indents, or has been written or edited in Google Docs without proper layout settings.

Pricing:

• Up to 40,000 words – £35
• Up to 100,000 words – £50
• Up to 150,000 words – £65

If your manuscript is longer than 150,000 words or requires significant cleanup (for example, extra section breaks or double-spaced text that needs reformatting), I’ll provide a custom quote before proceeding.

Once complete, you’ll receive a fully formatted Word file that’s ready for your editor, proofreader, or book formatter.

Terms of Use

1. This service is for preparing manuscripts up to 150k words in Microsoft Word format so they are ready for professional book formatting. It includes standardising paragraphs, dialogue spacing, scene breaks, and chapter headings.
2. This service does not include ebook or paperback formatting. It is designed solely as a preparatory step.
3. Because this is a digital service, all sales are final. However, I will work with you to ensure you’re satisfied with the final formatted manuscript.
4. The turnaround time will depend on the length and condition of your manuscript. If your file requires significant cleanup, I’ll contact you before beginning work to confirm whether it’s suitable for reformatting.
5. Please note: this service does not include editing, proofreading, or rewriting. The file will be formatted based solely on the content provided.
6. If you later purchase a book formatting service, I will use the final version of your formatted manuscript to ensure consistency across ebook and print editions.
