Cover Creation
Very much so. As the old cliché goes, “you can’t judge a book by its cover”- however, that’s just how many prospective readers will be deciding whether to purchase your book. Just a cursory stroll through available titles shows a variety of covers that would have benefited from a little professional attention.
You should put us in contact with your cover designer and we will give them the specifications for the cover.
Yes. We can create an eBook from your text files. However, it needs to be formatted for Kindle eBook readers. eBooks are not automatically created and must be ordered separately from the printed book at a charge of $125.00 prepaid before any work is done.
Printing Process
Once you have approved the formatting you will receive a electronic version of the full book (within 5 business days) for one last approval process. When we receive your final approval of the electronic proof version the book will be ready for printing. Once your book is put into the print schedule it will take about 12 – 15 working days to get through the production cycle and be ready for delivery. NOTE: There may be times when the turnaround time is longer because of high printing volumes.

You pay the formatting charge once you approve the electronic proof version and before the printing begins. The shipping /printing balance need to be paid prior to delivery. Check, Credit Card, PayPal or Cash.
