The process
How it works.
A simple, clear path from your first message to your finished files.
Tell us about your project
Message us with the details — your book type, trim size, platform, deadline and the service you need. If something in the manuscript will cause trouble at print (low-resolution images, missing fonts, inconsistent chapter breaks), we say so now, not at upload.
You receive: a personal reply, an honest assessment, and a clear scope for the work.
We reply with a plan and a quote
Clear scope, agreed before work starts. Before any batch begins, you approve a sample: a formatted chapter in the chosen style, a cover direction, a trailer concept. This is the studio’s standing rule — sample first, always — because a disagreement caught on one chapter costs an hour, and caught on forty chapters costs a week.
You receive: a sample to approve, adjust or redirect, with our recommendation attached.
We create
You see progress and can ask for refinements. The full work is produced to the approved sample and the platform’s specification, then checked: word and chapter counts verified against your source, bold and italics preserved run by run, EPUBs validated, covers measured against the printer’s template. Your text is never altered; problems are flagged for your decision, never silently patched.
You receive: a professional draft for review, and revisions handled carefully and consistently.
We deliver
Final files, checked against the platform you are using — prepared for print, digital distribution or platform upload. If you have booked publishing support or the Full Publishing Package, we walk the upload and the launch with you.
You receive: production-ready files, checked against the platform’s own rules, ready to publish.
The practical bits
What to expect.
- Revisions: 2 revision rounds included with every project.
- Payment: a deposit is due before work begins (the amount is in your quote); the balance is due on delivery, and final files are released on payment.
- Turnaround: agreed per project in your quote — no fixed day counts are promised.
- Files you receive: print-ready PDF and EPUB, checked against your platform’s own rules (KDP, IngramSpark, Lulu, Kobo, B&N Press, Bookvault), plus cover files where booked.
First time publishing? The resources explain the technical terms in plain language — starting with what “print-ready” actually means.
