Karen is a true gem! From beginning to end, and some fire extinguishing in between, she was quite helpful, lending her astute knowledge and professionalism to my typesetting needs. I am truly grateful to Karen, and I look forward to working with her again. I have absolutely NO REGRETS working with Karen - and neither will you.

Karen was so professional in her helping to publish my book on Amazon, yet she was also very personable too. I appreciate the extra time and effort she gave.

Working with Karen was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. As a debut author, I felt completely supported every step of the way. Karen formatted my novel beautifully, making sure it looked professional and polished in every detail. Beyond the formatting itself, what really stood out was how incredibly patient and generous she was with her time. I had tons of questions—many not even directly related to formatting—and she answered every single one thoroughly and kindly. She also helped create and upload the EPUB files and guided me through uploading them onto the publishing platforms I was using. Her responsiveness,... read more knowledge, and willingness to help made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and even exciting. Thanks to Karen, I feel so much more confident in my book’s presentation and launch. I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to any author—especially those publishing for the first time.

Karen transformed my manuscript into a polished, bookstore-quality book, making the process feel effortless. She listened to my goals, met every deadline, and anticipated details—from the ideal trim size and margin adjustments to typography choices that elevated the design. She delivered print and EPUB files, with the ebook looking great on any digital device. As an independent author, I found her pricing refreshingly affordable and an unbeatable value. If you're looking for a formatter who will treat your book with the same care you would, choose Karen.

Karen is an exceptional copy editor! From our very first conversation, I noticed that Karen listens intently. She also asked important and relevant questions and offered important insight. Early on, Karen began asking questions like: Why a historical account at this time? Tell me about your concept for this project. What is your vision and intent for this manuscript? What makes your book different? Who are you trying to reach and why? Who will benefit from your work? By the conclusion of our conversation, it felt as though my passion had also become Karen’s passion. Instinctively, I knew that both... read more my manuscript and I would be in good and capable hands. Equally important, I knew that Karen would not only help me bring my project to life but also help me share it with the public. And I must say, I have not been disappointed for one minute. With Karen’s help, I was able to complete a well-developed manuscript that conveyed my thoughts in clear and certain verbiage. Karen’s goal is to produce a high-quality product for her clients. She pays close attention to details and is a stickler for correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, voice, and more. And believe me, I am always in desperate need of help with active/passive voice! Karen also has amazing organizational and time-management skills that helped keep me focused and on task. Just one of Karen’s strong points is her ability to bring suggestions and logic together to help resolve issues. She also has a knack for offering constructive feedback and does so in a professional and caring way. I gave Karen a raw product that was sorely in need of a professional’s touch. Karen returned to me a well-formatted manuscript that flows smoothly and contains content that I expect to appeal to readers. If you are fortunate enough to work with Karen at BookLayoutPro, you will be well-pleased. I am!

Karen is amazing! I'm extremely happy with how my book turned out and really enjoyed my experience working with her. I was extremely impressed by her attention to detail, creative touch, and editing and publishing knowledge. She transformed my google doc into a book I am proud of! I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking to help turn their project into a work of art!

Such a wonderful experience! Karen went above and beyond what I was expecting for my work. She is now a permanent person in my writing team, and I will also return to her for all my future work. I cannot recommend her services enough!

The last mile: I had hoped to release my book by March 2023, but formatting issues delayed it. Karen Newton's professional services saved the day. Despite her busy schedule and family emergencies, she reformatted my documents perfectly within a week. The printers accepted them without issues, and my book was published in April. I couldn't have done it without Karen's expertise and diligence.

Karen and I connected on LinkedIn by accident (or providence!). The meeting could not have come at a better time. I had just completed a manuscript and was hoping to find the right person for the book’s interior design. The online world is hit or miss, but I am so glad I trusted my gut on Karen. Working with her has been a pure pleasure to say the least. She treated the manuscript as I would (like my baby!) and handled each aspect of the layout with great care and attention to detail, not to mention her patience with the number of revisions I needed. Her prompt responses to my emails also helped everything to run smoothly. Thank you, Karen Newton, for creating a beautiful house for my words. I am excited to launch this book soon and grateful you were part of my journey!
Trusted My Gut

I had the opportunity to work with Karen for 5 years. She is highly skilled at document layout and will make recommendations to improve the look, feel, and readability of the document. She is easy to work with, very personable, and very professional. She meets deadlines and is very prompt at responding to inquiries. Not only is Karen an excellent typesetter, but she is also an excellent writer. If she finds an issue with formatting, punctuation, or spelling, she will bring it to your attention to address as you see fit. I recommend her highly.
Recommend Her Highly
L. Elrod, Book Publishing Manager, ISA.org, RTP, NC
When it comes to book formatting and layout, Karen’s attention to detail and quality of work are exceptional. As a book and magazine publisher, I relied on her typesetting services for more than 15 years as she always went above and beyond my initial publishing requirements to deliver a first-rate product under extremely tight deadlines. Highly recommend!
Went Above and Beyond
S. Colwell, RTP, NC
Writing and publishing a book can be exciting and daunting at the same time. If you want to eliminate one of the stressors, I highly recommend hiring Karen. Her eagle eye catches the tiniest mistakes and inconsistencies, and her artistic sensibility results in page layouts that are well-balanced and easy to read. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t praise her enough!
