HIRING MARRAII DESIGN TO FORMAT YOUR EBOOK EPUB AND MOBI FORMATTING Marraii Design offers you—independent authors and small publishers—a chance to have your book hand-coded into popular ebook formats such as ePub & mobi-kindle for as low as $5 per every 25.000 words. Your book will be thoroughly cleaned up from hidden corruptions before formatting, and then handcoded into ePub/mobi.
In those formats, your eBook is complete and ready to be: sold on your website, sent out to reviewers as advanced reader copies, offered as prize in giveaways, or used for publishing where epub/mobi are required or prefered as source files for upload instead of MS Word.
What I need from you to make it happen: a finished, edited, and proofread manuscript in .doc, .docx, .odt or .html format a front cover to integrate into mobi/ePub (mobi/ePub are finished, standalone ebook formats, so they must have front cover already encoded inside)
Order now on Fiverr, or contact me to get a custom quote for your manuscript.

The simplest layout is often the best. It works for all books, displays impeccably on all devices, doesn't have additional font licensing costs that can be very expensive, and it's small in size so download cost is minimal.

Custom layouts. Even though simple layout is the best, custom layouts that look as close as possible to the print edition are high in demand. More and more authors decide to spring up for font licensing and graphics to make it possible. (see FAQ about font embedding license!)

Embedded fonts. There are times when font embedding is crucial to the story and the book just wouldn't be the same without them, or the author feels the book would lose too much if they weren't there. That's when authors choose to get ebook embedding font license and we encode them inside epub/mobi. Styles differ. Some authors go with subtle font treatments like having chapter headings or quotes in certain font. Others go loud and proud with more than one font combo. (see FAQ about font embedding license!)

Endnotes. In ebooks, footnotes become hyperlinked endnotes. The person reading can click on an endnote in text, be taken to endnote list, and then click again to be taken back to text where the endnote was first clicked. Interactivity achieved!

Drop-caps. They look amazing on some devices, but because they can have unpredictable behavior on older devices and those devices that do not support all coding, it's usually not a very good idea to have them inside your ebook.

Cookbooks, screenplays, ... which I don't accept for formatting anymore. They generally have smaller word-count, but so much more work than ten times bigger word-count.
