A real formatter and a dedicated project manager.

Humanize is for authors who would rather hand the interior to a person. Here is exactly what you get.

Dedicated project manager

One named person owns your book from the first call to the final files, so you always know who to ask and where things stand.

Formatted by hand, with care

A real formatter goes through your manuscript chapter by chapter, so the pages feel right and not just tidy.

Questions

Answers, in plain words.

Who formats my book?

A real formatter goes through your manuscript chapter by chapter. A dedicated project manager is your one point of contact from the first call to the final files.

How much does One-on-One Formatting cost?

Custom formatting is $100, paid up front. Tell us about your book in a short form and we take it from there.

Can you add a dedication and acknowledgements?

Yes, if you want them. They are optional, and they are set in the same style as your template and table of contents.

Can I change the book size?

Yes. Choose 6 × 9, 5.5 × 8.5, 5 × 8 or 5.25 × 8 inches, or tell us your own trim size.

Can you add pictures?

Yes. Your formatter can place pictures from the Folio picture library, or you can send your own.

Do I keep the rights to my manuscript?

Always. Folio is a tool you use, not a publisher you sign to. You keep every right to your manuscript and your files.
