Interior Book Design (Typesetting)

 

Typesetting, interior design, or the laying out of text in an attractive fashion across the page, is an important aspect of publishing, and one in which whole libraries have been written.

Our clients include national bestselling authors to publishers to journals and small media publications. We have designed the interiors of journals, legal documentation, trade publications (books), and magazines that encompass a wide range of subject areas.

TWA Solutions designs full length manuscripts, literary journals, publications, magazines, catalogs, newsletters, flyers, and other customized design layout. We will also insert internal artwork to fit client's specifications. Each project is different. Therefore, turnaround time may differ according to each project’s specifications. However, normal turnaround for novels is 48 to 72 hours.

Our designer will work with the client to select fonts and create a design that will compliment the subject matter. Prior to beginning the interior layout process, your electronic file will be cleaned to remove all extra spaces, tabs, and breaks. Then it will be placed into the layout document and the designer will check each page for readability, removing any gaps, bad breaks, or other typographic errors that can ruin your book’s appearance. The file will be sent to you as a PDF (Portable Document Format). We will send you a final PDF for approval, and will create a high-resolution file for your printer. If you wish, we’ll even e-mail or upload the file directly to your printer at no additional charge.
