Just the Paperback
For Authors Who Want a Solid Print Edition
Not every author needs digital files or consultations—sometimes you just want a polished, professional paperback. This service delivers a carefully formatted print edition with a touch of extra style, so your book looks as good in hand as it does in your imagination.
Polished Formatting
What’s included:
-
Professional formatting for your paperback.
- A full-bleed chapter image, greater choice over minor design elements, and sizing tweaks to help keep print costs down.
-
A check to ensure all necessary elements are present (title page, copyright page, dedication, acknowledgments, etc.).
-
A copyright page template if you don’t already have one.
What’s not included:
-
Editing, proofreading, or corrections to your manuscript.
-
Excessive artwork, borders, foil-stamping, dust jacket design, or other advanced typesetting.
-
Uploading to distribution platforms (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, etc.).
- The ebook
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.
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.
