We offer any or all of the following services for your book project. This list describes the process if you choose all of them:

• We will provide editorial services. We will determine if your book needs a written analysis, developmental editing, and/or copyediting. This process will continue until you have approved the interior text.

• We will create an interior page design sample. It is always helpful if you have design ideas for the interior of your book; if not, we can design it for you. Please view our interior page design samples.

• You will approve the interior page design sample. We will work together to get the look and feel you want for the interior of your book. This process will continue until you have approved the interior page design sample.

• We will analyze text and graphics. We will discuss any special concerns, such as quality of art or missing files. Graphics assistance is available (including scanning); however, if you wish to prepare your own electronic artwork, we have included art guidelines for you to follow.

• We will send you an interior page proof. These proofs will continue until you have approved the interior pages of your book.

• We will create a cover design. It is always helpful if you have design ideas for the cover of your book; if not, we can design it for you. Please view our cover design samples.

• You will approve the cover design. We will work together to get the look and feel you want for the cover of your book. This process will continue until you have approved the cover design.

• We will proofread your book. After your book has been designed and typeset, we will either reread or scan all of the pages as a final quality check. This proofreading process will ensure that everything is correct.

• You will sign a final approval form. Once you have approved all interior and cover pages, we will send you a final approval form, which you will sign, date, and fax to 650.355.3630 (or scan your signed estimate and send it via e-mail). Approval may also be obtained by e-mail confirmation.

• We will send your final electronic files to the selected printing and/or electronic formatting vendor. We will work directly with the selected printing vendors to submit files to their specifcations.

Do you want to do any of the work yourself?

We encourage you to participate in the process and provide training if you decide to do some or most of the work yourself.

Do you need help with marketing and sales?

We will refer you to a highly respected colleague who can help you market and sell your independently published book.
