See what our clients say about us
Luminare Press made me a believer in hiring professionals to help with aspects like design, formatting, and publishing to get your indie book where it needs to be.
– Terah Van Dusen
Luminare is as professional as it gets. My book is ready for prime time and a national book tour. The expertise and attention to detail was first rate.
– Danuta Pfeiffer
Writing a book is one thing; the presentation of that work is another. The staff has had many additions, and I am again pleased with our results. A hearty thank you, Patricia and crew.

What is book formatting, and why do you need a professional interior when publishing your independent book?
After all the hard work of writing, rewriting, and editing your story, you deserve an interior layout that reflects the care you’ve taken and sets your work apart from the amateurs. A well-designed cover is a powerful tool to attract potential consumers but your interior layout is equally important. A book interior has a deceptively simple appearance. At first glance, it is only words on a page, but the design and layout of those words affect the reader’s experience and tell anyone, at a glance, whether you have put care into the production of your book.
At Luminare Press, we use professional design software to produce our book interiors, ready to upload for publishing and printing. Let us take your words to the next level with care and attention to every detail.

FAQs
Black-and-White versus Full Color: how to choose?
If your manuscript contains any color images or any color texts, you’ll have to select “Full Color.” This is common for art and photography books, cookbooks, or any business books that include color graphs or tables.
If your manuscript only includes text, as is common for most novels, memoirs, some non-fiction, and poetry, you can select the “Black-and-White” option.
This decision will change the printing costs of your book significantly. So unless your book absolutely must be color, it’s safer to choose black-and-white.
What’s included in the interior book design price?
Our interior print layout and e-book file services include all text pages, including front and back matter, such as title page, copyright page, table of contents, dedication, and acknowledgments. You choose what material to include and send us your complete, edited text. Choose from one of five templates to start with, or a fully custom interior that can accommodate any complexity.
Once we have a style you like, we’ll finish the layout and send you a PDF of the complete book. You will review your text and send us any minor edits. (If your changes are more extensive, and we think they’ll run into additional time, we’ll let you know.)
Once we have the final print file, we’ll deliver a PDF, suitable for print-on-demand printing, and, if selected in your order, we’ll make EPUB files for e-book.
IMPORTANT: Editing and proofreading are not included in our interior book design process. We allow time for minor text changes, but more extensive changes will incur additional costs. Please send us a final, fully edited version that is ready for publication. If you need editing services, please let us know.
