Overview
What a StreetLib book actually involves
For ebooks, StreetLib accepts EPUB and offers conversion from other formats, though a hand-built EPUB gives better control. It validates files, and it gives clear messages when something is wrong. Covers must meet a minimum size and quality. For print, StreetLib Print requires an interior PDF and a cover PDF, built to its templates for the chosen size and page count. Because StreetLib serves many language markets, it also matters that fonts support the characters of the book's languages, that metadata is correct for each language and that hyphenation and typography suit the language.
Our StreetLib book formatting service builds files that suit these needs. We create a valid EPUB, make sure that fonts and encoding support your languages, prepare a cover that meets the size requirements, and, for print, build an interior and a cover to the template. We run EPUBCheck and StreetLib's own validation, and we fix any error. If you publish in several languages, we keep the files consistent across them. We can also upload to your StreetLib account.
We start every StreetLib formatting job with an audit. We open your file or manuscript, list what is already right, what is wrong and what needs a decision from you, and send that back before any work begins in this StreetLib book order. The audit is why there are no surprises: you know the scope, the price and the schedule, and you know which of EPUB and print files is likely to need the most care for the StreetLib book.
Why it matters
Why a StreetLib book matters
StreetLib formatting decides whether the work is accepted
StreetLib reaches stores and libraries in several regions, so one fault is visible in many places. For authors distributing through StreetLib, the difference shows in how the finished StreetLib formatting work behaves when it is opened, printed or uploaded, not in how it looks on the screen where it was made.
The details carry the quality
Its print option has its own trims and requirements, which differ from KDP's. We check each of EPUB, print files and cover individually, because a fault in one is easy to miss when the rest of the file looks right in this StreetLib book order.
Doing it once, properly, saves time
Metadata affects discoverability across languages and markets. Putting ePUB and print files right once is cheaper than correcting them in every later edition in this StreetLib book order.
Files built for an aggregator
Format a book for StreetLib
The route to a clean upload is a standard EPUB 3 with simple structure and a valid package. We follow the streetlib epub requirements and keep the code tidy, so that the file passes the validator and every store that StreetLib serves can display it well.
For streetlib print on demand formatting we build a print interior at your chosen trim size and a cover specification with the spine for your page count. We follow the streetlib upload guidelines for each file and the streetlib cover requirements for the ebook and the print cover, which are not identical.
Authors also ask how to distribute with streetlib formatting that suits many stores at once. The answer is a single, validated EPUB and consistent metadata, with a streetlib epub validation check run before you upload so that the first attempt succeeds.
- Standard EPUB 3 that the validator accepts
- Ebook and print covers specified separately
- Validation run before you upload
Choose the right build
The first decision in any StreetLib book

Print for StreetLib
A paperback built to StreetLib's print options. It suits authors who want print copies with your StreetLib book. We choose this route when print files are central to how the book is used, and we explain the cost and schedule consequences before you commit in this StreetLib book order.

How we think
How we think about your StreetLib book
Structure first
In StreetLib formatting, EPUB and print files are built into the file, not painted on top. On this StreetLib book job, we treat structure as the foundation and appearance as the finish, because structure is what survives edits and platform changes.
Checked, not hoped
On this StreetLib book job, a file is not finished because it looks right on our screen. With your StreetLib book, it is finished when the validator, the preflight and real devices agree, and when we can show you the evidence. It is the principle behind most of what we do on StreetLib formatting, and the reason we prefer to explain our choices rather than hide them.
Your files stay yours
We deliver source files and a specification, and we never lock your StreetLib formatting work inside a proprietary format. If you hire someone else later, they can pick up where we stopped for the StreetLib book. It is the principle behind most of what we do on StreetLib formatting, and the reason we prefer to explain our choices rather than hide them.
Client reviews
What authors say about our StreetLib formatting
Verified reviews from authors who distribute through StreetLib.
Cookbook formatting is a specialised skill. The recipe layouts, ingredient column alignment, and index were all formatted beautifully. The food photography placement looks professional and the page flow is logical.
Clean formatting with a professional result. The chapter timeline structure I used was a bit unusual but the formatter handled it well. One revision round to adjust some photo sizing and it was done perfectly.
Business books need to feel authoritative while remaining readable. The interior design achieved both. The chapter structure is clear and every table reads cleanly. My corporate clients have all commented favourably.
Tight, clean, and exactly on brief. The chapter openers had the tension-driven feel the genre demands without being overdone. Upload to KDP was approved without a single correction requested.
My romance novel needed a warm, readable layout with consistent chapter styling. The specialist understood exactly what I was after and the finished file exceeded my expectations on every page.
The interior design reflects the purpose of the book — accessible, warm, and inviting for daily reading. The scripture placement and reflection boxes are formatted consistently throughout. I am genuinely proud of how it looks.
Good formatting work on my early reader book. The large font and generous spacing were applied correctly. One illustration needed repositioning in revisions but it was fixed quickly. Happy with the result.
My memoir had photographs on almost every other page alongside the text. The image placement, captions, and page flow all look natural and professional. The print proof was exactly what I hoped for.
My business book had 14 chapters, 38 tables, and 22 figures. Everything was formatted cleanly and consistently. The specialist flagged two source document errors I had not noticed. Thorough and professional.
My book blended speculative and literary elements that needed sensitive typographic treatment. Every unconventional element was handled with understanding and real precision. A genuinely impressive result.
The interior finally looked the way I had always imagined it. Every margin, chapter header, and page number was precisely placed. My proof copy from KDP was perfect on the first attempt.
My spiritual book had Arabic quotations alongside English text. The bidirectional text layout was handled correctly and respectfully. The result reads clearly in both languages and the overall design is dignified.
The bleed formatting on my picture book was handled exactly right. The full-colour spreads print edge to edge without any white borders. The final book looks like it came from a major publisher.
My memoir needed a warm, readable layout with consistent chapter styling. The specialist understood exactly what I was after and the finished file exceeded my expectations on every page.
My nonfiction book had tables, charts, and detailed sidebars that needed careful layout. Every element maintained its visual hierarchy throughout. The book reads clearly and looks authoritative on the shelf.
My world-building sections, map pages, and chapter epigraphs were all handled with genuine understanding of the genre. The interior feels as immersive as the story itself. My readers noticed immediately.
The devotional layout needed daily readings, scripture references, and reflection prompts to work together without feeling cluttered. The specialist understood the format immediately and the result serves the purpose perfectly.
Picture book layout is genuinely a specialist skill. The text placement, illustration bleed areas, and page proportions were all handled perfectly. My printer accepted the files on the first submission.
