Julia Scott – Designer

Experienced book formatter, dedicated to delivering gorgeous, standout designs for all genres, including nonfiction.

Overview

I am a professional book formatter and interior designer who finds genuine joy in helping authors navigate the final, crucial steps of their self-publishing journey. Having formatted hundreds of books since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of working with indie authors from all over the world to turn their manuscripts into gorgeous, standout designs.

I provide expert formatting for both print and digital markets across all genres. While I have a deep love for the immersive worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and YA, I also specialise in the technical precision required for complex nonfiction. My goal is always to create a clean, professional interior that honors the author’s voice and provides a seamless experience for the reader.

I’m known for being easy-going, patient with first-time authors, and highly attentive to the tiny details that make a book feel "big five" quality. I work to tight deadlines and take great pride in seeing my clients’ work move out into the world looking its absolute best. Whether you are a seasoned bestseller or a debut author, I am dedicated to making the design process the most exciting part of your publication journey.

Work experience

Self-employed

Sep, 2019 — Present
Since 2019, I’ve formatted hundreds of books for authors worldwide. I aim to make the technical side of publishing stress-free, from epic fantasy to complex nonfiction. I provide clean, professional layouts for print and eBook using Adobe InDesign, ensuring every detail is just right for your readers.

Paper Raven Books

Mar, 2024 — Sep, 2025 (over 1 year)
As part of the production team at Paper Raven Books, I worked with authors and editors to get manuscripts ready for a smooth launch on KDP and IngramSpark. This role was all about guiding self-publishers through the final technical steps, ensuring their books looked polished, professional, and ready for the world.

The Bookish Box

Jun, 2023 — Jan, 2025 (over 1 year)
I loved working with The Bookish Box, designing the interiors for some of their special edition hardcovers. These projects focus on the "little extras", like custom chapter headers and decorative flourishes, to create beautiful, collectible books that fans are excited to own.

Within a serious time crunch Julia not only typeset my e-book and paperback for Amazon KDP but she also made a separate file for IngramSpark so I could utilize their duplex printing services for my cover. She worked quick, suggested fonts that perfectly fit the theme and answered every question ...
