If your book requires complex layouts, specialized formatting, heavy graphic integration, or unique visual storytelling, Custom Book Layout & Design ensures that every page reflects your vision.


Make Every Page a Work of Art

Interior layout and design is more than margins and fonts — it shapes how readers experience your book.

Unlike Standard formatting or structured style systems, Custom Layout allows for:

  • Unique layouts that vary by chapter or section
  • Advanced typography and creative font pairings
  • Custom chapter openers and graphic elements
  • Image integration and visual storytelling
  • Specialty formatting for workbooks, cookbooks, children’s books, or art-driven titles
  • Design treatments that evolve throughout the book

The result is a one-of-a-kind interior that elevates your content beyond traditional formatting conventions.

Best For Authors Who:

  • Want full creative control over interior presentation
  • Need page-by-page design variation
  • Are publishing visually driven or design-heavy books
  • Require complex formatting structures
  • Want their book to stand apart from traditional layouts


How It Works

Your designer will begin with your submitted manuscript and any direction you provide regarding style, tone, or visual inspiration. From there, the interior is developed collaboratively — with the flexibility to refine and adjust layout elements as needed throughout the design process.

This service is intentionally more hands-on and tailored than structured formatting options, allowing for maximum creative freedom and precision.


How Custom Differs

  • Designed page-by-page with creative flexibility
  • Allows variation across chapters or sections
  • Ideal for visually driven or complex books
  • Built collaboratively around your vision
