I am looking for an experienced and detail-oriented book formatter to prepare my nonfiction book for publishing on Amazon KDP.
The manuscript is approximately 24,000 words (100–120 pages when formatted) and has already been professionally edited. I am not looking for editing—only formatting and clean, professional layout.
