I have a children's book that is 35 pages long from cover to cover, it has 13 illustrations in tiff format, 1 cover illustration in tiff and a regular jpeg image and less than 150 words total.

I need my little children's picture book to be prepared for hard copy and digital publication - typesetting and formatting things precisely. I am only inter...ested in hiring someone with successful experience in this area of children's books - someone whose pre-publishing work has been published in hard cover and digitally.

In other words, I would like to work with someone who can typeset for both print and electronic devices (android, nook, apple, and others.) I would also like to work with someone who is skilled with Photoshop (for softening the edges of 3 sharp edged illustrations) to be consistent with the rest of the illustrations.

Please submit a bid that addresses MY job - and please tell me the software you intend to use. Pleeease --- I do not want a generic bid.

Fixed-Format ebook conversion (using Sigil only)

we are an educational company that publishes, sells and distributes Arabic and Islamic educational materials.

We have completed book. It contains english text, arabic text, a lot of images, tables, and there are instances of text placed in boxes. Currently, it is in adobe inDesign format.

we are ...looking for one experienced expert who can help us in convert the print book into ebook (iBooks Author, Mobipocket, Kindle, NOOK, ePub2+3). It has to be ebook friendly to be posted on Amazon, etc. You must be experienced with this, and guarantee it will pass their evaluations. Also we need the source file of Sigil at the end.

we can provide the print book in indesign.

You will optimize the book on Amazon - including optimizing title, keywords, category selection and all other activities that are part of publishing on Amazon.

This job requires accuracy when converting, you have to:
1. Interactive ToC
2. Arabic is ok
3. Fixed Layout (what you get is what you see)
4. Ensure the formatting is all correctly in place
5. Punctuation is correct and not missing periods for example!
6. Spacing is correct

If you are a publishing or formatting expert (using Sigil only) and are interested in this project, please provide a bid for 100 pages, and examples of your recent successes.

Hi Srini, I need a pDF document converted to Kindle and ePub, without reflow. It is a graphical book, so now text reflow, with and without cover (the first page is the cover). Its attached. How quickly can you convert?
Thanks Steve

Hello Srini,

Can you please make a proposal for two ePubs?

It contains 2 books. Part one contains 176 pages, part two 108 pages.
The book are studybooks to learn a language (Papiamento). It contains a lot of tables. Can you make the tables reflowable? I think that the top of the pages (which indicates in what lesson (les) the reader is should be ...an image.

Please skip the empty pages and the pages with no text.

Can you send me a sample file first? It is fine of you do that for the first part (Deel 1) only.

I look forward receiving the proposal. I will send you the two parts in PDF to you via WeTransfer. They are too big to send to you through Elance.

Best regards,
Daisy

Hi --

I need to create a downloadable e-book in .pdf format for one of my companies. I have the copy written and a few graphs ready to go.

What I need is for someone who has designer and desktop publishing skills to take my writing and make it look pretty -- from within our brand colors and iconography.

It's not a very big e-book -- probably 5...000 words at the most.

Thanks

Hi there! I need help again formatting a book for Kindle. It's basically the same process you did before (from PPT to .mobi) but this book is in Spanish.

Also, I noticed a mistake I made in the English book, which meant I had to add 2 pages to the PPT.

1. How much will you charge for formatting the Spanish book?
2. How much will you charge... to help me fix the English book that is already in mobi?

Thank you!

Laura

P.S. Below is my original job post.


*****************************************
Good day! I have written an ebook and it's currently in PowerPoint format. This is easily converted to pdf but neither file type is readily acceptable by Kindle.

Anyone out there familiar with Kindle formatting?

If so, please let me know:
1. What will you charge to convert a 53 page book?
2. More or less, how many days will it take you to do this? I'm not in a rush, I'd just like to know more or less.

Thank you!

Laura

I have 2 books in pdf format (each of about 10-12 pages) that I require to be converted into :

- Nook Kids ePIB for Barnes & Noble

Hi Atritex,

My company helps experts to write and self-publish their own book. We need your help to format, layout, and upload 1 new title.

We require print and ebook formats on the following platforms:
Smashwords: ebook
Createspace: paperback
Lulu: ebook, paperback, hardcover
Kindle: ebook

The specifications for the title is:
1. This Time W...ill Be Different by Susan Santoro with trim size 6inches x 9 inches, Black&White interior,white paper


For typsetting, we suggest use Garamond or Janson, though we are open to suggestions. Also, we tend to prefer slightly bigger margins around the text, rather than smaller. We want to make the books as long as possible in page length.

NOTE: If we can agree on price, I will send you the fully edited manuscript. In the meantime, here is the draft version of the manuscript so you can get an idea of size.

Please let me know your best price.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Look forward to working with you again.

This is the second book of the author Audrey Soekradj. You also made her first book in ePub, in Dutch as well in English. That was ca...lled "Topvrouwen"/"Amazing women". We have used the same layout.

This eBook ("Vrouw, empower jezelf!") is in Dutch, the English eBook will follow.

I look forward receiving the proposal. It would be great if you have this ePub ready by the end of next week (October 23).

Is this possible for you? Please prioritise this one above my other projects.

I'm sorry for the short notice but I was not ready with the text yet.

I will send you guidelines for the layout.

Format a print book (have pdf of original layout) as an ebook both in mobi and epub. Two indexes and contents will need to be linked.

I have a PDF / indd short book I'd like to make available as an ebook on Amazon. I'm looking for help getting the file ready for uploading and keeping some of the design elements of the book intact. I'm not sure what the limitations are design-wise, so would need some guidance with this as well. The book is 41 pages total.

Let me know if this is ...of interest to you and if so how we would proceed.

Thanks so much!

Justice on Trial is in the same series as United by Covenant (which you formatted as an ebook) and the formatting will be almost the same. I am attaching the Word document and the pdf. I will put the InDesign file in a dropbox folder at [obscured] /sh/osnamdir89y6zzm/AAAQsOKE-MtQDvYfeX8kL_Lca?dl=0

Do not call out the body font.

We would like bo...th epub and mobi files.

Justice on Trial is 137,214 words and 412 pages so similar in length to Republic in Triumph (133,054 words, $75).
