What Our Book Interior Design Includes

Interior design goes beyond basic formatting. In fact, it gives your book a personality that readers feel on every page.

  • Custom Typography

    We pair fonts for body text, headings and captions. Also, each one is chosen for comfort over long reading sessions and for the mood of your genre.

  • Chapter Openings

    Chapter titles, numbers, drop caps and small ornaments set the tone, so readers feel the mood at once. So each new chapter feels like a fresh start for the reader.

  • Page Details

    Running heads, folios, scene breaks and margins all follow one clear system. After all, small details like these make a book look professional.

  • Illustrated and Complex Layouts

    We also design cookbooks, photo books, workbooks and textbooks, with images, tables and sidebars that flow with the text.

Make Your Pages Unforgettable

A thoughtful layout keeps readers relaxed, focused and turning pages.

How Our Interior Design Process Works

You always know which stage your book is at and who is working on it.

  1. 01

    Design Brief

    First, we talk about your genre, your readers and books whose interiors you admire.

  2. 02

    Sample Spreads

    Next, we design a few sample spreads, including a chapter opening. You choose your favorite direction.

  3. 03

    Full Layout

    Then we lay out the whole book in your chosen style and send you a full proof to review.

  4. 04

    Final Print and Ebook Files

    Finally, we make your last changes and deliver print-ready PDFs and matching ebook files.

Interior Design and Your Cover, Made to Match

When the inside of a book matches the outside, the whole thing feels planned and complete. So our interior designers work closely with our cover team. As a result, fonts, colors and small design details carry from your cover onto your pages.

We also make sure your custom layout still works for ebooks. That matters because fixed designs can break on small screens, so we build ebook files that keep the spirit of your design while adapting to any device.

For a simpler, clean layout, our book formatting services may be all you need. If your book needs custom art, add book illustration services. And to match the outside, pair this with our book cover design services.

What our authors say

  • I write fast-paced thrillers, and the last thing I want is clunky typography slowing the reader down. Ordwick’s layout team didn't just dump my text into a generic template; they chose a typeface and chapter styling that perfectly matched the tension of the story. The design truly 'disappears,' letting the words take center stage exactly as they should.

    Marcus T.

    Thriller Author

  • My business book was heavily structured with call-out boxes, lists, and subheaders. A standard formatting template would have made it look incredibly messy. The interior designers at Ordwick built custom chapter openers and section breaks that made the complex information visually digestible. It looks like a top-tier traditional publication.

    Elena S.

    Executive Coach

  • Because the layout designer works in the same ecosystem as my editor, they already understood the emotional tone of my poetry collection before they even picked a font. The margins, the spacing, and the typographic choices were all perfectly aligned with the mood of my manuscript. You simply cannot get that level of intuitive design from outsourced freelancers.

    Sarah M.

    Poet & Author

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.

Book Interior Design FAQs

Still have a question? Book a free call

What is book interior design?

It is the custom look of your pages: fonts, chapter openings, margins, headers and ornaments. It turns plain text into a book that feels professional and inviting.

Do I need interior design or just formatting?

Many novels only need clean formatting. However, interior design suits books where the look matters most, such as gift books, illustrated books, cookbooks and literary fiction.

Will my design work in ebooks too?

Yes. Because devices differ, we build ebook files that keep your fonts and style where devices allow, while still letting readers resize text.

Can you design workbooks and textbooks?

Yes. For example, we design layouts with exercises, tables, sidebars, callouts and images for teaching and training books.

What does a custom interior cost?

We quote each book on its own. The price depends on page count, the number of images and how complex the layout is. Ask for a free quote.

How long does interior design take?

Most books take two to five weeks. Still, longer or more complex books can take a little more time.
