Interior formatting · FAQs

Five answers before formatting begins.

Can you handle Devanagari (Hindi) typesetting?+
Yes — and properly. Hindi typography needs more than just a Hindi font. We handle matras, conjuncts, and proper ligatures using premium licensed fonts (Mukta, Akshar, Hind). Most cheap formatting services use system defaults which break Hindi rendering on Kindle and POD print. We test on actual devices before delivery.
Will my eBook look good on Kindle, Kobo, and iPad?+
Yes. We deliver EPUB3 (Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play) + Mobi/KFX (Kindle). Reflowable means text resizes correctly. We test on actual Kindle, iPad, and Kobo devices before delivery — not just emulators. If something breaks, we fix it before you see it.
Can I include images and figures in my interior?+
Yes. Provide images in PNG or JPG at 300 dpi or higher. We size, sharpen, and place them properly. For print: images are converted to CMYK. For eBook: they're optimized for screen reading. Full-page illustrations, half-page figures, and inline images all handled.
What if I want to update the manuscript after publication?+
Possible, but requires re-formatting (₹1,000) + re-upload to distributors (which can take 24–72 hours to propagate). For typo-level fixes, we batch these and only re-upload monthly. For substantial revisions (rewriting chapters), we recommend a second edition.
Do you handle academic books with footnotes and bibliography?+
Yes — add the ₹1,200 footnote/bibliography setup add-on. Includes endnotes, in-line footnotes, bibliography formatting (Chicago/MLA/APA), and back-of-book index. Required for academic books, biographies, and research-heavy non-fiction.
