Pre-Press Publishing Services
Three Levels of Editing
Developmental Editing: Fees are based on the amount of editing required based on a sample edit. Sold in blocks of hours.
Copyediting: Our most common editing service, fees quoted on a per word basis.
A "rewriting" option where our editors make the recommended changes to text, is also available. Deliverable: One Word document with Track Changes enabled, showing edits, and one with changes "accepted" for easier readability. Based on a price per word.
Proofreading: $20/hour.
Design and Layout
Interior design and layout: Quotes are based on the number of estimated book pages and the number of images and charts included, which are optimized for best print results. Note: Layout of linked footnotes and endnotes incurs slightly higher pricing. Deliverable is a high-resolution print-ready PDF prepared to the specifications of the book manufacturer selected.
Cover design: Deliverable is one high-resolution print-ready PDF prepared to the specifications of the book manufacturer selected for each of the formats desired.
eBooks
eBooks: We handcode eBooks in both reflowable and fixed layout formats for the most common e-reader devices and apps—and design them to replicate the basic look of published print editions. eBooks created as part of a turnkey project cost significantly less. Deliverable: ePub file meeting the latest eBook standards, ready for upload to the most common online booksellers.
