Book Design Jobs

Ongoing Freelance Designer Needed (Print + Digital) Hello! I’m Sharon Thayer, an award-winning children’s book author and publisher with an expanding product line (including both children’s books and a women’s wellness gift product). I’m looking for a reliable freelance graphic designer to partner with on an ongoing basis — someone I can return to regularly for design and production needs. Must-Have Skills (Primary Focus) These are essential: Book interior layout experience (Adobe InDesign) Strong print design skills (sell sheets, postcards, inserts, packaging) Ability to create press-ready printer files (correct sizing, bleeds, CMYK, PDF export standards) Comfortable working with printer templates and requirements Able to assist with uploading ...

I’m getting my novel ready for Kindle release and need an experienced formatter to turn my manuscript into a flawless .mobi/.epub file that passes Amazon’s previewer on the first try. The draft is already edited; what I’m missing is professional layout—clean chapter breaks, a clickable table of contents, proper front- and back-matter, and consistent paragraph styling that looks great on every Kindle device and app. You’ll work from the file I supply (currently in its native word-processor format) and deliver two things: the final Kindle-ready file and a source layout file I can update later. If you spot any glitches—orphans, extra spaces, or inconsistent indentation—please tidy them as you go. Experience with Kindle Create, Kindle Previewer, ...

I’ve finished writing a guidance-style manuscript in Microsoft Word and now need it transformed into a press-ready book. The final trim must be A4, with a clean, professional look that invites readers in and meets printer requirements. What I need from you: • Establish consistent Word styles for headings, body text, quotes, and lists • Design all front and back matter—title page, copyright, dedication, acknowledgments, references • Build an automatic, clickable table of contents (and index if practical) • Add running headers, footers, and page numbers while managing widows, orphans, and hyphenation • Set precise A4 margins, bleed, and gutter so the file is ready for print on demand or offset runs • Deliver both the updated Word documen...

I’m creating a short, read-aloud picture book that introduces the fun of gymnastics to children aged 3-5. The tone needs to stay light, encouraging, and age-appropriate, with clear, simple sentences that invite interaction from an adult reader. Visually, I want bright, cartoonish illustrations that capture the energy of tumbling, balance-beam walks, and playful stretching—nothing too busy, but lively enough to keep a preschooler’s eyes on the page. Think bold colours, friendly facial expressions, and plenty of movement lines so young readers can practically feel the flips. The manuscript will be somewhere in the 20–24 page range (roughly one short paragraph or two to three sentences per spread). I’ll supply a loose outline of key skills and vocabulary once...

I already have the manuscript ready—now I need it turned into a polished, print-ready paperback through Canva so I can upload directly to Amazon KDP. The final trim size must be 6 × 9 inches, and I want both the interior layout and a cohesive wrap-around cover designed in the same project file. You’ll place the text into Canva, set up margins, bleed, and page numbers to match KDP’s specifications, apply clean typography and any simple graphical accents that enhance readability, then create a front, spine, and back cover that reflects the book’s tone. When everything is approved, export the interior and the cover as separate PDF/X-1a files and share the editable Canva link so I can make future tweaks if needed. Acceptance criteria: • Interior PDF passe...

I’m preparing the first volume of a sticker-based learning series for new readers aged 5–7. Each book spotlights a single historical figure through mini-stories, bite-size facts and scenes that children finish with stickers. Our debut title is dedicated to Fatih Sultan Mehmet, and I want youngsters to meet him through: • Short, engaging episodes from his childhood, the key victories that earned him the title “Conqueror”, and highlights of his education and love of learning. • Activity spreads that go beyond stickers—colouring pages, simple puzzles and jigsaw-style cut-outs that reinforce each fact or scene. What I need from you is a complete manuscript package: story text in clear, age-appropriate Turkish; concise fact boxes; and “creator n...

I’m working on a children’s picture book based on a true-inspired story about my baby spider monkey, GiGi Louise. It’s a gentle, rhyming story about curiosity, adventure, and coming back home safe. The tone is warm, sweet, and comforting, nothing scary. I’m looking for an illustrator who can create soft, watercolor-style illustrations with a classic children’s book feel. GiGi is the main character and needs to look consistent throughout the book, so being able to follow a reference image closely is really important. I like the two-page spreads so the open book shows the moment in full and I need someone who understands book layout (especially keeping important details and text away from the center fold). GiGi is very active, so I’m hoping for someone c...

I have a finished, toddler-friendly story and now need it transformed into a lively picture book for 3- to 5-year-olds. The text is locked; what’s missing are the visuals, page design, and production-ready files. Here’s what I’m after: • Rough storyboard to match the pacing of the existing manuscript • Full-colour illustrations (about 24–32 pages plus cover) in a warm, expressive style that appeals to young children • Print-ready PDF and CMYK files sized for standard 8x8 or 8.5x11 trim (open to your guidance) • Layered source files (PSD, AI, or Procreate) for future adjustments • Optional: a fixed-layout EPUB so the book can go straight to Kindle Kids or Apple Books I’ll supply the manuscript, character notes, and any refer...

Tengo el libro listo en un único PDF de 120 hojas que combina texto e imágenes a color y deseo publicarlo en Amazon KDP cuanto antes. El problema es que el documento está maquetado en un tamaño especial que no coincide con las medidas estándar de KDP y, aun así, quiero conservar el diseño tal cual se ve ahora: tipografías, distribución de imágenes, encabezados, todo. Necesito que revises el archivo, definas conmigo el formato de impresión más cercano dentro del catálogo de KDP y ajustes márgenes, sangrados y paginación hasta que cumpla las especificaciones técnicas de la plataforma (bleed, trim size, seguridad de zona impresa, etc.). La idea es que me devuelvas el interior listo...
