Professional Non-Fiction Book Design & Layout Services
At ebookconversion.com, we specialize in professional Non-Fiction Book Design and Layout — creating clean, structured, and reader-friendly interiors that enhance your message and authority.
Whether you’re publishing a memoir, business guide, self-help book, cookbook, or historical work, our expert designers use Adobe InDesign to format your manuscript into a beautiful, print-ready layout that meets industry standards for both print and print-on-demand (POD) publishing.
📘 What Are Non-Fiction Books?
Non-fiction books are factual, educational, or instructional — based on real experiences, expertise, or events.
They are designed to inform, inspire, or guide, and require a well-structured layout that helps readers follow and absorb complex information easily.
We design all types of non-fiction books:
- Biographies & Memoirs
- Self-Help & Motivational Books
- Business, Finance & Entrepreneurship Titles
- Educational Textbooks & Workbooks
- Cookbooks, Travel & Lifestyle Books
- Historical, Political & Current Affairs Titles
- Essays, Opinion & Journalistic Works
Each book type has unique design needs — and we tailor your layout for clarity, readability, and brand consistency.
🧭 Our Design Philosophy
“Inform, organize, and inspire — through clarity and structure.”
Non-fiction layout is about visual hierarchy and accessibility.
Our InDesign specialists create a reading experience where every heading, callout, and paragraph flows logically — supporting the author’s expertise and the reader’s engagement.
We focus on:
- Logical information flow
- Professional typography and spacing
- Balanced use of white space
- Consistent headers and chapter structures
- Easy navigation for multi-section books
📐 Professional Page Layout & Setup
We follow industry-standard book formatting guidelines for all print and POD services:
| Setting | Recommendation |
| Trim Size | 6″ × 9″ (trade) or 7″ × 10″ (text-heavy) |
| Margins | Inside 0.75″ • Outside 0.5″ • Top 0.6″ • Bottom 0.8–1″ |
| Bleed | 0.125″ for images or colored backgrounds |

| Grid | Baseline grid for visual consistency |
Each page is designed with precision — ensuring professional spacing, clean alignment, and smooth flow from section to section.
