If you’ve never formatted a book or print materials before, pricing can feel like a mystery. Tools like Canva provide templates and user-friendly editing, but they often result in generic layouts, inconsistent spacing, and a final product that doesn’t stand out.
SRS Inkfeather Design pricing reflects both the design and technical formatting needed to create a print-ready file. To get started, I’ll need your final manuscript or copy (all edits complete!) and high-quality JPGs for any images or graphics.
Here’s how the process works: We’ll meet to discuss your vision and direction. From there, I’ll create three design concepts for you to choose from. Once you select your final design, that’s what I’ll deliver as your print-ready file. Any changes after that point—text edits, image swaps, or design revisions—will be billed at my hourly rate of $75/hour.

Whether you’re printing or publishing an eBook, the way your book is presented matters—and the two formats require different approaches.
While the content is the same, the way it’s displayed needs to be tailored for the best reader experience in each format.
To format your book, I’ll need:
Important: The manuscript you provide must be your final word count. Every edit changes the layout of text and how it interacts with images and graphics, so completing all revisions beforehand saves time and ensures accuracy.
I require a minimum of two months to ensure the initial product is as close to completion as possible before possible edits($75/hour additional). This timeline allows me to deliver quality work that’s ready for your review.
The formatting process includes three initial design concepts for you to choose from during the design phase. Once you select your final design and I deliver the print-ready file, that design is considered complete.
Any changes after delivery—whether text edits, new images, or design adjustments—are billed separately at $75/hour. This is why it’s essential to provide your final manuscript and high-quality images upfront!
Yes! I format books across all genres.
Pricing is determined by word count and the inclusion of images/graphics. For example, a children’s book with full-page illustrations will cost more to format than a 40,000-word text-only novel because I need to consider legibility, design, and possible image modifications to ensure the book is successful.
Prices increase with word count and complexity. If you have questions about pricing for your specific project, please reach out—I’m happy to discuss!
Absolutely! Authors republish their work often—whether due to content additions, new editions, or signing with a new publisher. If you’re looking to reformat an existing book, I’m happy to help.
