Book Designing and Publishing: Printable Version of Book Designing

With 20 years of experience in the design and book publishing business, I can make your manuscript come to life. Book Designing and Publishing can be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor, but it doesn't have to be. There are many avenues to explore to professionally publish your manuscript.

New Writer? Are You Ready to Publish? Quiz

Many new authors are nervous or unsure as to how to proceed in publishing their book. Don't be. After our free initial consultation, I will walk you through the major steps of getting your book published. Here's a general overview of the publishing process and some of the services I provide:

Once you have written your manuscript the first step is to get your manuscript proofed and edited. You need an objective eye to read over your manuscript for spelling, grammar, and flow of thought. I have qualified and professional editors and proof-readers who will polish and perfect your manuscript.
Contact a printer to start the quoting process.
Your interior pages are designed. The typeface font and size are chosen. Any design elements are discussed and designed.
Your book cover is designed. Working together, you and I will create several cover designs to match your book's topic and tone. You may either provide photographs or illustrations that you want included on the cover, or I can create original artwork. These preliminary designs are part of the final contract price.
Your printer is contacted. Once your book has gone through these major steps and is ready for printing, I can either use a printing company that I already work with, or I can work with a printing company that you have in mind.

These steps show that self-publishing can be a fairly easy and simple process. And I will do my best to make it so. The key to a successful publishing project is communication. Please be assured that as we work through these major steps, I will be contacting you through personal visits, telephone calls, faxes, emails or all of the above.
