We make use of professional, independent editors to edit your manuscript. The process of editing involves adding, deleting, and rearranging words. Editing includes consistency, grammar, language used, errors, spelling and punctuation, the overall structure, and other mechanics of style.
We can assist you to design or purchase any artwork (photos, images, illustrations, graphics) that is needed in your book. We make use of professional graphic designers and/or illustrators. We can also assist you to obtain images from stock photo sites.
Typesetting stage (also called book makeup) involves flowing the edited text into an approved stylesheet. It includes choosing a font style for text and headings, determining margin widths, setting word and letter spacing, choosing a chapter heading and number style, and others. The combination of book design and typesetting is what gives a book it’s professional look and feel on the inside.
Cover design is an art. People do judge a book by its cover, so it is very important that the cover is carefully considered and put together. The title, byline, blurb and cover images should all work together to create a cover that has impact and conveys the essence of the book.
Once your book is ready to go to print you need to decide whether to print litho or digitally. This decision will be based on a few considerations like the type of book you are printing, how many copies you want to print, etc. We will assist and guide you through the printing process.
Coffee or tea and a muffin is on us.
