All files SENT to our book printer for book printing services only are checked professionally, saved as PDF files and then sent to you for inspection – free of charge before placing to print as part of our service.
You will receive a written summary, including suggestions for improvement if your files are not print-ready.
We will provide you with a quote for adjustments needed if you cannot complete the changes yourself.
You are entitled to a book proof of your completed manuscript for added peace of mind. So, if the first paper proof copy shows that you have unfortunately overlooked a typing or formatting error, amend your file and return it to us so that we can resubmit it to print a new proof.
A book proof is sent to you within approx. 4-10 working days after you approve the final files. Depending on the binding type you have ordered. Once you approve your book proof, your printed books can be available for delivery within weeks; for deadlines, see notes below.
If we are completing any design services, we will work with your requests incorporating our design experience.
We can provide you with the information necessary to make your dream to self publish come true. ‘Publishing Packages’ are flexible and can be adjusted to include extra services such as a website or poster design at any time.
Just a few questions required to determine your book specifications and the services you need.
Complete the contact form online. Please attend in person, by interview, or telephone us for this initial no-obligation requirement.
You will then receive a preliminary quote based on your selections.
Check that your new quote meets your needs. Complete any details for delivery arrangements etc. This is a preliminary quote. Naturally frequent changes along the way, such as page and design variations, are taken into account.
Please FAX or SCAN and EMAIL a signed copy of your quote to your publishing company to place your order. Organise to pay your minimum deposit.
Your consultant will contact you as soon as it is received. You will also be sent an updated invoice, along with your welcome package.
Payments can be made by bank, cheque, PayPal, credit card or cash. For PayPal payments, a fee of 30 dollars per thousand dollars order value is required.
For continued use of our services, a deposit is required. This deposit is an acceptance of your quote.
Now it is time to send your important files. Submit PDF’s, Microsoft Publisher, PowerPoint or Microsoft Word files. (Program not here? Ask us!)
This is your Step 1 Completed.
DEADLINES: If you have a timeline for your books to be available to you, discuss this with your consultant.
Under normal circumstances, all preparation processes can be completed within weeks. Hardcover, sewn binding and large quantity orders do take a longer time to print.
If your manuscript is not complete or ready to send yet, you can secure and lock in your discounted package while completing your preparations. We will work with you when you are ready.
2. An initial deposit is required once you have accepted your quote.
3. Pay as you go option on your terms – which requires an initial deposit once you have approved your quote.
We will work with your manuscript on a ‘Pay As You Go’ basis. Your new books will be delivered to your door shortly after your final payment.
Your designs are yours to keep, not ours. We spend the time making them for you along with your instructions. We will keep up with the process within a reasonable time limit only until they look how you want them to look within the design limitations.
The time taken to complete the design process is not refundable in any instance because we can’t simply use the files for anyone else. They are yours only. If you find faults with your printed books, then naturally they will be replaced free of charge. Replacements are given within the shortest possible time by following our guidelines. Any faulty copies of your book need to be sent back to us within two weeks from the delivery date to be eligible for the reprint. (we pay ALL FREIGHT)
Next, you will receive a welcome pack that includes self-publishing information using our easy step by step process.
Included in this package are a few simple forms such as ISBN and CiP registrations.
These forms enable us to work with your requests incorporating our design experience personally and professionally.
We may offer you suggestions for writing your manuscript.
If you are worried about your manuscript, please check out our appraisal services.
A service that can provide you with professional feedback, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the story and character development and style and content.
Self-publish with a professional edge!
Checking your work is an essential step for all manuscripts.
It is always advisable to get someone else to look over your work. Choose a professional editing and proofreading service rather than attempting to complete this task yourself.
A finely polished manuscript has a higher chance of success.
Firstly, complete some research to determine your book size and binding options. Have a look at your favourite bookstore or on your bookshelf for ideas. We are happy to advise of the most cost-effective and durable options.
Next, you will need to know the number of books you require to be printed and decide on some marketing options, perhaps.
We can advise you of the most cost-effective process for your specific needs.
Use the adjustment option. Changes can be made to your quote during the initial process.
Despite the old saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’, it is essential to note that a good cover design is vital to ensuring a professional-looking book. A good cover design increases your ability to market your book and achieve higher sales.
Inside your book, correct formatting can be quite tricky. Margins, chapter headings, page numbers, justifications, drop caps, spacing, fonts and indenting are all aspects we work with.
If you choose our book cover design services, we will work with you to complete a stunning book cover design.
