Create print ready PDF for Createspace, and mobi file for Amazon.
Relevant Skills and Experience
I have worked with many independent authors on projects just like yours, and have strong skills in manuscript formatting, and file conversion.
Proposed Milestones
$138 CAD - Deliver print ready PDF and mobi file.
My approach is to start by applying a strict set of styles to the manuscript which ensures the initial conversion to ePub, and import to InDesign, is as trouble free as possible.
For producing the PDF I use Adobe InDesign. InDesign gives more consistent control of the layout than straight text editors such as MS Word, ensuring a quality product.
To produce a mobi file for Amazon, I use Calibre for the initial conversion to ePub, then an html editor to fine-tune the files, create the table of contents, and streamline the CSS. The ePub file is then verified for compliance with ePub3 standards before conversion to mobi.
The final stage is to test the file on a range of devices.
