Typesetter needed for nonfiction book

I’ve written a book called “Clear Head: How to Overcome Brain Fog and Build A Life You Love.” The topic is aptly described by the title. This is a tutorial and it has internal illustrations. It is just over 19,000 words long and I would like to have it typeset in large font because those with brain fog have trouble focusing on small type, especially large blocks of it. When I experimented with Atticus (to see how many pages it will be), the default for large font was 18 points. I think a good size for the book would be 6”x9”. The page count at that size was 195. From what I understand, serif fonts are easier to read. I lean towards Times New Roman and I am completely open to your expertise, with the direction that it should be the most readable font possible and not distracting. I would like to provide a lot of white space and subheadings to help the reader focus. I am open to suggestions on these and other points with a goal of making it more readable. The draft is written in Microsoft Word. I’ve done some formatting and I am hoping you can take it from good to great! The book will be published in paperback only (not as an ebook). I am attaching the first 30 pages as a sample. In Microsoft Word, with 12-point font, the book is 71 pages long. ISBN: I will provide this to you later. My goal is to have this done within approximately the next three weeks to a month.
