FAQ’s

Getting Started

Send an email to Book@perfectpublishing.com to schedule a consultation. Once you agree to publish with Perfect Publishing you will be introduced to your Project Manager that will keep you informed of the progress of your book.

Yes. You will retain all of the rights to your manuscript and book, including all digital and print rights.

This is required to eliminate any additional formatting cost. Excessive edits can cause the formatting to be altered and require additional time to repair. We strongly recommend double-checking for final edits before sending us the file. This helps the publishing process go as quickly and smoothly as possible.

NOTE: Depending on the publishing package you choose the editing of your manuscript may be included. You can use editors that you hire or you can utilize the Perfect Publishing team.

Yes – if your previous publisher does not have exclusive publishing rights (check your agreement with them). We would re-publish your previously published work under our name. We can also correct any errors that occurred during and work to improve your book by redesigning the cover if needed. You will need a publishers release form from your previous publisher in order to be listed on Amazon.

Include everything you want the inside of your book to contain. Our formatter will do the Title Pages, Copyright Page, Table of Contents and other front matter. You can also add a dedication/thank you, author bio, list of your other books, etc.

Please send Word Doc and a PDF of your edited manuscript Note: We will format the first 15 pages or up to the start of the 2nd chapter and get your approval of the layout, fonts, and copy flow before we format the entire book.

Perfect Publishing supplies an ISBN for your printed book and eBook at NO Charge if you publish your book with them. (International Standard Book Number) records contain author, publisher, size, format, topic-related information, pricing, and other data needed by retailers, libraries, and book distribution systems. NOTE: You can not use the ISBN from a previously published book once it has been registered.

Printing Process

Once you have approved the first draft of formatting you will receive a electronic version of the full book (within 14 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. December is the busiest time of the year.

We retain $2.00 per book of the royalty for setting up and maintaining the account. This includes uploading approved manuscripts and print files, listing descriptions, keywords, optimize categories, and generate monthly sales reports.

Our author’s copy program allows you to purchase your title at a greatly discounted price off the cover price. You can purchase as many books as you would like and can even resell them on your website.

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. NOTE: Checks take additional time and will hold up the project until the check clears the bank.

Manuscript Processing

We prefer Microsoft Word. PDF and Google docs are acceptable. However, once we start the formatting everything will be converted to Microsoft Word.

Your manuscript should include everything you want the inside of your book to contain (though we will take care of the Title Pages, Copyright Page, Table of Contents and other “front matter”). Along with the main content, you could add a dedication/thank you, author bio, list of your other books, etc. We don’t need a preformatted manuscript, so there’s no need to worry about things like font size, spacing, and page numbers. We strongly recommend double-checking for final edits before sending us the file. This not only helps the publishing process go as quickly and smoothly as possible, but will also save you from having to pay fees for us to implement content changes after the submission of the manuscript.

Perfect Publishing will add the following pages to your book: title page, half title page, copyright page, Table of Contents (when necessary). At your request Perfect Publishing will add pages that you request to be added.

The final page count of your book will be dependent on a number of factors, including your trim size selection, word count, font selections, margins, spacing, etc. We will not know your exact page count until we’ve completed the formatting of your book.

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

As your publisher we post your book on Amazon and maintain the account under our Amazon publishers account.

Because we manage all of our authors accounts on one platform we can not allow access by each individual author for that reason.

You can contact us and request the changes. Contact al@PerfectPublishing.com

Because we manage all of our author accounts under one platform we cannot allow access by each individual author. We manage the account under the author’s direction. As with printed books the author can request unpublishing their book at anytime
