Book formatting for 1300 pages

Budget: 27000 UAH Deadline: 60 days

Hello, Ruslan! I just couldn't pass by your task!
You described the task and your requirements very well.
I have experience in editing and layout. I work in Adobe InDesign.

However, your conditions resemble slavery rather than work for a professional who respects themselves and their time (and that is exactly the kind of performer you want to see).

First — these are the deadlines. For such a large volume (1300 pages), 20 days is very little even for proofreading and editing, not to mention design and layout. The real deadlines are twice or even three times longer.

Second — the price. Are you seriously offering people to work for 11 UAH/page?
The cost of proofreading and editing on the market is about 30 UAH/page, plus the cost of design and layout — about 50 UAH/page.
In total: the total cost for your volume of material is at least 104,000 UAH. And this is without considering the design of the cover and diagrams (if they need to be drawn).

Now put yourself in the shoes of a person who would be offered work under such conditions. Honestly, would you work? Expand

Good afternoon!

Thank you for the detailed technical assignment — it shows a serious approach to the project.

Good day! The task is large-scale and truly interesting. I have experience in editing, layout, and design, so technically I can fulfill all the requirements.

However, considering the volume (1300 pages, two formats, images, diagrams, text editing), I believe it is necessary to immediately agree on the cooperation format:
My rate:
180 UAH / hour or a fixed payment — 30,000 UAH for the entire project, including:

Full editing (grammar, logic, style),
Complete formatting in Canva Pro / Designrr (depending on the tool you choose)
Layout for print (300 DPI) and electronic version (with navigation)

25+ images, 10+ diagrams/graphs

Cover and table of contents
Cost:
30,000 UAH fixed or 180 UAH/hour (based on actual time spent, if you choose hourly)
Conditions:
I work in stages, with payment after each key block:

Day 5 — first 200 pages + style → 6,000 UAH

Day 10 — 500 pages + cover → 7,000 UAH

Day 15 — 1000 pages + graphics → 8,000 UAH

Day 20 — fully completed layout of both versions → 9,000 UAH

Payment is made after approval of each stage in this working area. Expand
