Interiors looking homemade?

Indie interiors look homemade yearly. Print rejects.

1. The problem

Print authors ship homemade interiors yearly. Margins mirror wrongly. Widows orphan pages. Ingram rejects files. The hardest part is print-ready flowing fast. A book might return boxes. That uncertainty makes it hard to bind proud.

What people are saying

“Shipping yearly homemade here. I need margin presets with proof flows.”

2. What exists

Layout designers, Vellum and InDesign flow pages, while homemade persists yearly. Designers backlog months. Software learning curves. There is little help with margin presets plus proof flows for authors.

3. The solution

The solution could be a bind-proud engine. It could preset margins simply mirrored. It could flow chapters wisely styled. Proofs could catch widows. The goal would be crisp pages, bound books.
