Professional Memoir Book Formatting -- 2

Project: Professional Book Formatting for Self-Publishing I have written a book about my life, currently in Microsoft Word, and need an experienced book formatter to prepare it for professional printing and self-publishing. I want the finished book to look like a professionally published autobiography or memoir, with a clean, attractive layout that is easy and enjoyable to read.

Requirements

Book size: Recommend a suitable standard paperback size, preferably 6 × 9 inches (152 × 229 mm). Layout: Professional margins, correct binding gutter, consistent spacing and page layout. Fonts: Clear, readable fonts and professional typography. Chapters: Consistent chapter headings, with each chapter starting on a new page. Page numbering: Professional page numbers and running headers where appropriate. Opening pages: Format the title page, copyright page, contents page and dedication, if applicable. Photographs: Position and size any photographs appropriately for print. Content: Preserve my original wording and chapter order. This is a formatting project, not a rewriting or editing project. Print-ready files: Supply both an editable Word document and a high-quality, print-ready PDF suitable for my chosen printer. Proofing: Provide a draft PDF for review and allow one round of formatting revisions before final delivery. TWO QUESTIONS? 1. I would also appreciate your recommendation on the best book size and layout for my manuscript? If you think the above won't work. 2. I would also ask them to confirm that the price includes both the Word document and the final print-ready PDF.
