Children’s Book Design
and Formatting
Your manuscript and artwork are ready. Now it needs to become a finished children’s book.
I design, layout and format illustrated children’s picture books, taking manuscripts and artwork through to fully structured, print-ready and eBook-ready files.
The focus is always on how text, illustration and page flow work together across every spread, so the book reads as a complete, cohesive experience.
Most projects begin once illustrations are in progress or complete, at the stage where structure, pacing and layout matter.

This includes complete children’s book formatting for print and digital publishing platforms.

Process
Work begins with your manuscript and artwork.
I structure the book as a complete sequence, building layout and typography across the full document so text and illustration work together as one reading experience.
In some projects, I’m involved earlier, during sketch or storyboard stages, helping shape layout, pacing and page turns before final artwork is completed.
From there, the book is refined into a consistent, fully designed and formatted publication, ready for print and digital release.

At the end, you will have everything ready for publication.
This includes fully designed and formatted interior files, prepared for print and digital platforms, along with eBook files where required.
All files are delivered ready for upload to your chosen platform, including Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and others.
