Valinor Press was founded with a simple mission: to give indie authors the same clean, professional interior layouts found in traditionally published books.

Every manuscript deserves a layout that enhances readability, elevates storytelling, and meets the strict technical requirements of KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, and major POD platforms.

A Craft Built Through Real Publishing Experience

My formatting foundation comes from hands-on study of traditional typesetting principles, modern print-on-demand standards, and professional layout workflows used by established publishing houses.

In addition to personal training, I’ve also learned from industry professionals and publishing teams such as Franciscan Institute Publishing at St. Bonaventure University, whose long-standing print and academic publishing work has influenced my approach to interior layout quality, readability, and precision.

What Valinor Press Specializes In

• Print-ready, industry-standard book interiors
• Professional EPUB conversions (compatible with Amazon, Ingram, B&N, BookBaby, and others)
• Custom chapter design, spacing, scene breaks, and typography
• Front matter & back matter layout (title page, copyright, dedication, acknowledgments, etc.)
• Clean pagination, headers, footers, drop caps (optional), and mirrored margins
• Watermarked proof files + final export upon approval

A Clear, Author-Friendly Workflow

The process is straightforward, transparent, and designed with authors in mind:

1. Request a Quote: Fill out a short form and outline your project.
2. Accept Your Quote: If everything looks good, you receive a deposit invoice.
3. Complete the Intake Form: A detailed questionnaire collects all book specifications.
4. Formatting Begins: Your project is scheduled and work starts.
5. First Proof (3–7 business days): A watermarked PDF (and/or EPUB) is delivered.
6. Revisions Included: You request changes within your package.
7. Final Files: After final payment, you receive full, upload-ready files.
