Book Layout & Typesetting – Catholic Apologetics Work
Description: I am looking for a skilled typesetter or book designer to take raw text from my manuscript and format it into professional, print-ready pages. This is a Catholic apologetics work with a structured, logical style (examples of objections and rebuttals, lists, and categorized arguments). Scope of Work: • Start with a provided sample section: “Addressing Objections to the Papacy.” • Create three distinct stylized layout options (different typography, heading/subheading hierarchy, spacing, numbering systems, etc.). Each option should look like a professional book interior “as if” it were ready to be sent to the press. • Ensure formatting accommodates: • Contents/outline sections • Numbered objections with summaries • Structured rebuttals under multiple categories (logical, biblical, patristic, historical, etc.) • Clear visual distinction between objections, premises, conclusions, and rebuttals. • Deliver clean, visually engaging, and readable layouts. Deliverables: • 3 sample formatted options for the provided section (to evaluate style). • Files in a print-ready format (InDesign, LaTeX, or another professional layout tool) along with PDF proofs. Qualifications: • Experience in book design/typesetting (please provide samples of past projects). • Familiarity with academic/theological or structured works is a plus. • Ability to balance readability with elegance (this is a serious apologetics work, not casual reading). • Strong communication for ongoing revisions. Next Steps: If this initial project goes well, I would like to continue working with you on the full book. Please include portfolio samples that demonstrate your ability to format structured or academic works. Apply tot his job
