In short
AuthorsPack Formatting Press typesets manuscripts into print-ready interior PDFs, EPUB 3 files and clean DOCX exports. Trim size, bleed, gutter and spine width are calculated against each platform's published specification — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, Kobo, Apple Books and others — so uploads pass validation on the first attempt. Formatting a full book costs around $49.

Formatting Press standards
The rules this department works to
Taken from the house specification every AuthorsPack department shares. Each rule says whether it is enforced by code, bounded for the model, or left to your decision.
Hyphenation & widow controlCode
Professional text setting
Words under six letters are never hyphenated, no more than two hyphenated lines may stack, and widow control is on for every print interior.
KDP · IngramSpark trimsCode
Print geometry
Six trade trims from 5×8 to 8.5×11 with gutter and margins set per trim. IngramSpark files receive 0.125" bleed automatically.
EPUB 3Code
Ebook packaging
EPUB 3 package with a navigation document, ordered spine, uncompressed mimetype and modified-date metadata, ready for store upload.

What you get
Built for the part that actually matters
01
Not generated by AI
Rendering is fully deterministic code, not a model guessing at layout. That's why output is reproducible and why formatting adds no AI cost to your bill.
02
Trade typography
Real drop caps, ornament scene breaks, recto chapter openings, running heads that flip on verso pages, hyphenation and justification tuned per genre.
03
Widow and orphan control
No single lines stranded at the top or bottom of a page, no chapter headings hanging alone. The things that make self-published interiors look self-published.
04
Per-platform specs
Bleed, gutter and spine width recalculated for each destination. One manuscript can produce a KDP 5.5×8.5 and an IngramSpark 6×9 in the same run.

Still deciding?
Every rule we work to is published, with who enforces it — code, model or you.
Yes. Interiors are generated against KDP's published trim, margin and gutter requirements, with the correct page count parity and embedded fonts. If a specific upload is ever rejected, re-rendering against the exact reported spec is free.
