What is Interior Layout & Typesetting?
Typesetting is everything between the covers. Type choice, measure, leading, running heads, chapter openers, front and back matter, and the hundred small decisions that decide whether somebody can read four hundred pages without their eyes getting tired. Good typesetting is invisible by design. We handle print and ebook, including the reflowable version, and deliver files your printer accepts without a round of questions.
Interior Layout & Typesetting sits under Branding, drawing on Brand Collateral and Brand Design.
Who needs Interior Layout & Typesetting?
You have a finished manuscript and a publication date. Maybe you tried formatting it yourself and the widows and orphans are winning. Maybe the book has tables, maps, illustrations or footnotes that a template cannot handle. Illustrated and non-fiction books are where this matters most, because the layout is doing part of the explaining.
