Notes On Arranging Printing

Liaising with printers can be confusing or just too time consuming for some people.

For an extra fee I can take on the role of organising your books printing production as well as design.

Usually starts at $180.00. Please consult with me if you would like help organising printing services.

Work With Me

I work one to one with individuals, artists and indie publishers to create professional standard layout design for traditional printing and e-pub books.

Notes on Spelling and Grammar

There is little point publishing your manuscript without a professional editor looking over it at least once.

Different writing styles require specific grammatical expertise so it's important to consult a professional.

I will inevitably spell check your book as I go but as I am not a professional editor.

I cannot finalise the spelling and grammar of your work.

Spelling and grammatical errors are the hardest elements to refine in book design of any kind. Often those of us who feel we are proficient in finding errors will be the first to miss them.

I encourage you now to have your manuscript looked over by a professional.
I can give some recommendations if needed.

Start at the End

Printing your book can be expensive. But often the price can be greatly reduced if you consult with your printer before production.

If you speak to your printer about your proposed project before you start designing they can advise you on what format size and finishes are going to work best in your price range.

I will always ask my clients to decide on a printer and the books specifications at the very beginning of production. There is little point in designing a beautiful layout only to find out later on that it is too expensive to print.

I can help advise you on what format and printing service would work best for your book project.

Please note any book that involves tables, glossaries or complex indexing costs more as the process of building these elements takes a greater amount of time.
