A fresh, engaging ebook layout for a relationship course

Michael S. Sorensen

I am a relationship coach focused on helping people develop happier, healthier, more connected relationships.

I'm looking to have my manuscript turned into a visual, engaging ebook PDF for download. There are 10 short chapters, plus a table of contents, introduction, etc. The Google Doc length is 30 pages and is already broken into sections.

TEMPLATE/STYLE:
I'd like this to be clean, fresh, and inviting. It should appeal to readers between the ages 18-55 of both genders and have a generally positive vibe to it, without being cheesy or juvenile.

I like the basic layout/feel of the examples I uploaded to the "references" section, though obviously you will need to improve upon them or suggest something entirely different as I don't want to infringe on any copyrights. The color in those examples won't work for my market, so feel free to play with that.

I especially like how, in the examples, they have some pages that have a full-page image with a quote on it, or fill the top or bottom half of a page with an image, and put text on the other half. (All of this used sparingly, of course).

PHOTOGRAPHY/GRAPHICS
I'd like to have [relevant] photography throughout (preferably pulled from unsplash.com or pexels.com so it's free for me to use).

I also welcome pull-quotes, sidebars, etc. to make the content more engaging. Feel free to pull or emphasize quotes or points that stand out to you as particularly powerful.

FORMAT/LAYOUT
Orientation can be portrait or landscape—whichever you prefer.

Please keep the hyperlinks from the manuscript.

Each chapter has at least one "Recommended Book" or other article that I include at the end. I've noted this in the manuscript as a comment, but I would like that to be treated as a sidebar, small graphic, or something that adds a little more visual interest, rather than just more text at the end of the chapter.
