[See
the article about self publishing] and [formatting
services]
Many authors are now
turning to self publishing as a method to publicize
their work. There are many things an author
becomes when they take on the task of publishing
their own books. You're not only a writer, but
you may also need experience with typesetting,
editing, graphic design, and book cover design and/or
photography.
In order for your
book to be taken seriously, you need to have highly
professional typesetting, editing and imagery for
your publication. Many publishing warehouses
charge extremely high fees to provide these
services.
I'm offering to
save the author the headache of having to do these
things themselves, or pay through the nose to get
them done. I'm charging a negotiable fee for
the services (pricing available after I learn more
about your project). Turn around time is
quick, usually a few weeks or less. If I can't
do it, I'll refer you to someone I find reliable.
Contact me if you need
any of these services for your project:
Editing -
Line by line edits, critiques, spelling and grammar.
You can order the bundle or ala carte.
Typesetting
- Send me your manuscript in Word, text, RTF, or
Publisher format and I will typeset it for you as
per industry standards. This means the line
spacing, pitch, and justification will match
mainstream publications.
PDF Creation for
eBooks and traditional manuscripts - If you want
to sell an eBook or make your traditional book
available to your publisher quickly, but don't have
the skills to imbed fonts, graphics, or standard
formatting, send me your manuscript in Word, text,
RTF, or Publisher format and I'll do it for you.
Free PDF writers will not be saved in the format
that many publishers require. Some are very
nit-picky about resolution, font embedding and page
order.
Manuscript Draft
Printing - So you have this 200-page manuscript
you'd like to print out so that you can edit the
monster, but you don't want to pillage your printer
resources - or maybe you don't have the printer
resources. Send me your manuscript in Word,
text, RTF, or Publisher format and I'll do it for
you. Overnight service available.
Book Cover
Design Services - I have high-end photography
equipment, graphic design software, and the skills
to produce a professional quality cover for your
book. I can also work with your publisher to
produce a print-ready design for your front and/or
back covers. |
