    What is a formatter?

    Formatters take a manuscript and convert it into the final files needed for the ebook and print formats.

    Prepare your manuscript

    Before we can begin work, you need to prepare your manuscript. Most of the heavy lifting is done by us, but there are a few things we need you to do.

    We can take your manuscript and create a finished product, ready for sale. Since our founding in 2013, we've formatted over a thousand books, many of which have been New York Times and USA Today bestsellers. Our client list includes both publishers and independent authors.

    Because we are not a publisher, we do not take any share of a book's royalties.


  • Formatting

    Formatting is a lesser known service in publishing. What formatters do is convert documents from your word processing program into ebooks and PDF text layouts for paperback and hardcover interiors. We do not publish the books, but upon request we can walk an author through how to publish their work.

    We specialize in upmarket design with custom headers and graphics to make your book look like that of a top earning author at any of the big, New York or London publishers. We have a portfolio of our print book interiors here.

    Our ebooks actually look better than the big publishing houses'. As an indie author, E.M. Tippetts has helped to pioneer better, more marketable ebook formatting, and collectively we have more experience with graphics and other fancy touches than most other formatters. We also know quite a few coding tricks to keep the file size nice and small. We keep a portfolio of our ebooks here.

    If you'd like to have us format for you, please proceed to our manuscript preparation guidelines.


  • Cover Design

    Our cover designer, Linda Caldwell, has designed covers for a wide array of genres, and a large portfolio of authors. Some of her clients are New York Times bestselling, and others are just starting out with their very first book. She also designs for several publishers and keeps a gallery of her designs on Pinterest.

    If you're interested in having her design a cover for you, please fill out her intake form here.
