Each spread is set in Adobe InDesign for common trim sizes (6×9, 7×10, 8×10), with industry-standard readability, running heads, and print-ready structure for KDP and IngramSpark. The top overview shows the full range; below are closer views of chapter openers, tables and notes, image+caption layouts, and recipe/worksheet pages.
Process: define hierarchy and page grid → set styles (body, heads, captions, notes) → build sample spreads for approval → complete layout with word-by-word checks against the manuscript.")

About
I'm Ronald, a book typesetter since 2011. I design print interiors in InDesign—novels, memoirs, academic and image-heavy books (cookbooks, workbooks, guides). Print-ready PDFs for KDP, IngramSpark, and other major printers, plus optional EPUBs checked with EPUBCheck and Ace. I work with authors, publishers, and agencies, including German-language titles (communication in English). Browse my Book Layout services or message me—I'll review your files and send sample spreads before full layout.
