Dear Employer,
I'm a designer for book cover, layout and typesetter since 2000. I'm a freelancer for several publisher in Jakarta, Indonesia. Now, I use InDesign CS6 to layout and formatting a book. I can quick and neat to do this because InDesgn provide a paragraphs style, characters style, table of contents automatization, index automatization and other friendly tools.
As you say, you have a sample of what you want, could you please send to me this sample and several pages of your novel text. I will make initial layout for you. If you happy, you can hire me.
Thank you.
Kusmin.
