What's Included?

Years of Experience

I have formatted hundreds of books and worked with many great authors, so you can trust that I know how to make a book look good.

Great Communication

I know your book has to be just right. I’ll ask the right questions and be available to answer yours.

A Helping Hand

Publishing your book can be daunting, but I will assist you at every step of the process, from choosing contents, advising on marketing and even uploading to your platform of choice. I accept manuscripts in all popular formats, including Microsoft Word, Pages, Scrivener, and more.

Front and Back Matter

Not sure what’s required for copyright, title pages? No problem, I will design these for you with all the necessary elements.

Formatting Options

I provide options for all popular trim sizes and fonts, including large print, and you are welcome to specify the style of your book. I often provide a mood board at the outset with a choice of fonts, headings and other treatments. Trust my years of experience if you’re not sure which format will suit your book best. 
Provided formats are suitable for all printers, and publishers such as Amazon KDP, Ingram Spark, Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble and more.

Images and Special Elements

Choose from full page images and text effects, beautiful chapter headings and more.

Friendly, Responsive Service

I know just how fiddly arranging the body of your book can be, so I’m always on hand to provide advice and get your proofs back to you with a speedy turnaround.

Price Guide

I charge per word of set text. The rate varies depending on the book’s complexity, with discounts applied for higher word counts. I have five bands, ranging from straight text, through complex non-fiction layouts, to scientific and academic texts. I also have separate rates for picture books, and charge per-page for certain layouts.

If you would like a quote for your book, send me the manuscript for a definitive price. For a ballpark quote, simply send a representative sample and let me know the total word count.

Shaun was a delight to work with. I entrusted the formatting of my book, in the Italian language, to him and he did a superb job. After the first draft that he sent me I made several requests related to my personal format preferences, and he quickly obliged without hesitation. My book contained many illustrations, and he improved upon them in various ways. I unreservedly endorse him as someone who is highly skilled and a pleasure with whom to work.

Dan Possumato

I would recommend Shaun to anyone who wants their book interiors to look gorgeous. Great font choice, beautiful headings, front and back matter perfectly presented. Kindle worked like a charm too! Will definitely use for future projects.

Katherine Behr Thomson

Fantastic design, great communication. Helped a lot with the particulars of the paperback design details, too. Highly recommended!

Vi Cala

I approached Flintlock to reboot my Gaslamp Fantasy Mystery series during Lockdown in 2021. Shaun’s patience and professionalism in dealing with my three books was commendable. The formatting is outstanding. I would absolutely recommend Flintlock Covers to any author who requires the services of a highly professional formatter and designer.

Rhen Garland

Shaun is an outstanding book formatter. And he is a pleasure to deal with. By the time I found him I had already looked at several others but was not happy with quality or price, Shaun delivered on both! I definitely recommend him.
