Enhanced Interior Formatting with Author Input
Our Enhanced Interior Formatting with Author Input service gives you the opportunity to select key design elements for the layout and design of your book's interior. You can specify design details like font style and/or size, line spacing, margins, hyphenation, title page design, chapter page design, drop-caps, divider elements, etc. You can even choose to supply your own licensed font.

Once we know what you're dreaming of for the design of your book, one of our professional book layout artists will create an enhanced "style sheet" just for your book. The "style sheet" will define the appearance of the common design elements throughout your book—title page, chapter pages, headers/footers, etc. and will be used by the book designer during the actual formatting of your manuscript, which is done later.
Because the "style sheet" is not a page-by-page definition of the book layout, if you require page-by-page input, our Custom Interior Formatting service is a better choice for you.
Any requests for specific fonts or graphic elements that are not already available through Outskirts Press require you to submit said elements along with their applicable licenses for use.
The Cover Pitch Enhancement service allows one of our professional copywriters with rework and edit your back cover blurb, tagline/hook, and bio molding them into a cohesive and enticing summary of your book.
Your cover blurb is a crucial element leading to book sales, they can make or break your book—our writers are experts in crafting these crucial elements to turn browsers into buyers.
A word from an author about the Premium Design Bundle.
Barbara Lehman Smith
What an impressive start for the design of the book! I love the choice of font, the graphic elements that resemble a brushstroke used as spacers, and the design for the Part I section as well as the Interview section headings. All perfect!

My representative Jamie was always extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my book publication. She always responded very quickly to requests and was always helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great role model and a great asset to the Outskirts Press family.

I am extremely pleased with my book publication and consider this a major milestone in my life . Thank you all very much...
Lawrence N. Weston
author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

Esther A. Ota
author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Outskirts Press has perfected the art of self-publishing. Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
