Pricing and Quote Information ...

Since each job is unique and not created from a template, it is best that you call me or email to so we can discuss the details of your job so I can provide you with a firm quote for you book.

Information I will need to create your book is as follows:

Page or Trim Size of the Book
This means the actual physical size the book will be once it printed, bound, the cover is put on and it is trimmed down. Typical book sizes are 5 x 8, 6 x 9, and 8.5 x 11.

Graphics, Pictures, Charts and Tables
Will your book be text only or will it contain photographs and tables. If so, about how many? Do you have illustrations, photos and captions?

Color or Black and White
Will your book print all in black ink or will some or all of the pages have color?

Cover Design
Do you have a Cover already designed for your book or will you need a Cover designed for you as well?

Deadlines and Schedules
What is your proposed start date and “to print” date?

How a Book is Made ...

When your book goes into production, the first step is the design, or the “look and feel” of your book. For most book design projects, you will be presented with two design choices for page layout for your chapter treatments, footers, headers, text, margins, front matter, and all the elements that will make up your book.

Once you approve a design, your book is professional formatted and typeset using state-of-the art, industry-standard software such InDesign or Quark Xpress. You are provided with Acrobat PDF files for proofing purposes, or you can print out hard copies to mark up and edit “the old fashioned way.”

After you have reviewed the book proof and all corrections, fixes and changes have been made, your book is ready to go to the printer and a hi res PDF file will be created to your printer’s specifications.

Creating a book is a very specialized area that requires someone with the know-how and experience to too th job right for you.
