Publishing

Having over 40 years of experience with the publishing industry, I have enjoyed helping small publishers and authors prepare books for publication. Book cover designs are something that most people do not consider when publishing a book. There is, however, a science to creating the right design to attract the right audience for a book. As they say, “A picture speaks a thousand words.”

Typesetting

Typesetting is an art and a science. The words must flow over the page without distracting the reader. It must look appealing, yet functional. The format must work for printed works as well as electronic format. Font choice, size, and layout make the book more appealing and enjoyable all around.

Cost of Typesetting Services

I charge $1.00 per typeset page. The first round of edits is free, afterward, the charge is $.50 per edit. For custom layouts, I charge a $100 setup fee.

Book Cover Design

When readers look for a book to read, their first impression is aesthetics. Does the book resemble something they have enjoyed in the past? This is why it is important to design a cover that will appeal to your target audience.

Cost of Book-cover Design Services

A typical book-cover design costs between $150 to $250, depending upon the complexity of the design.
