Project Overview Seeking a highly skilled book formatter with a proven track record in creating visually engaging layouts for spiritual/religious non-fiction. This project requires someone who understands how formatting enhances readability and reader engagement for a unique Christian book structured as a "menu" of content options. The Book "Nope That's Not in There" is a fresh approach to biblical engagement that bridges theological depth with practical application. The manuscript features varied content including narrative sections, biblical exposition, practical guidance, and study examples. The right formatting will be crucial to maintaining the book's unique "menu" concept where readers can select sections based on their interests and needs. Required Skills & Qualifications Extensive experience formatting books for print and digital publishing (minimum 5+ projects) Demonstrated expertise with industry-standard design software (Adobe InDesign, etc.) Strong portfolio showcasing varied formatting styles and innovative layout solutions Knowledge of current formatting trends in Christian/spiritual publishing Understanding of how visual hierarchy, white space, and typography affect reader experience Ability to create a cohesive visual system that distinguishes different content types while maintaining overall unity Experience creating chapter openers, pull quotes, sidebars, and other visual elements that enhance readability Attention to detail with typography, spacing, and consistency across a full-length manuscript Deliverables Complete interior book design including: Visually distinct section/chapter openings that reflect the book's "menu" concept Custom typographic treatment for various content types Strategic use of visual elements to enhance comprehension Consistent formatting of Scripture references, quotes, and examples Final print-ready and e-book compatible files Revisions as needed to perfect the design Why Artistic Skill Matters for This Project The success of this book depends not just on content but on presentation. The right formatter will understand that readers engage differently with spiritual content when it's thoughtfully designed. We need someone who approaches book design as an art form that enhances the reading experience, not just a technical exercise in placing text on pages. Application Requirements Please include: Your portfolio featuring 3-5 examples of your best formatting work (preferably including non-fiction) Brief explanation of your design philosophy for books in the spiritual/religious category Overview of your process from receiving manuscript to delivering final files Timeline and rate expectations Qualified candidates recognize that exceptional formatting is invisible yet transformative—it guides the reader through complex ideas effortlessly while enhancing the author's voice rather than overshadowing it.
