Gold Package
The Complete Author’s Journey
The Gold Package combines professional formatting with personalized guidance. You’ll get not only beautifully prepared files for your book but also a one-hour consultation to answer your publishing questions and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
The Gold Standard
What’s included:
- Professional formatting for paperback (ebook included at no extra cost).
- One full-bleed chapter image (provided by you in high resolution).
- Options for small design tweaks (enhanced chapter headings, scene break symbols, or custom spacing).
- A one-hour consultation to cover any publishing-related questions you may have.
- A double check of all necessary front and back matter.
- Copyright page template provided if you don’t already have one.
- Sizing tweaks to help control printing costs
What’s not included:
- Editing, proofreading, or rewriting of your manuscript.
- Cover design, extensive artwork, or custom font sets.
- Uploading files to distribution platforms.
Rules (from Terms of Service):
-
Manuscript must be provided in DOCX format and as clean as possible (no tabs, consistent headings).
-
Images, if included, must be provided at 300 DPI for print quality. Lower quality images will result in blurry printing or pixelation, and if provided in lieu of better images, are the sole responsibility of the client.
-
Formatting includes one round of revisions for minor fixes (spacing adjustments, typos, style consistency). Major changes (adding or removing sections, rewriting) may incur additional fees.
-
Turnaround is typically 7–14 business days after payment and receipt of files. Rush orders are available for a markup.
- Consultation is intended for advice only. All decisions and outcomes are the sole responsibility of the client.
You retain 100% of your rights and royalties. My role is to prepare your book for publication—not to change your words or take a cut of your work.
