Editing - grammar,
spelling, punctuation and syntax are checked.*
Book design - designing of pages,
including book size, type face,
chapter headings, paragraph indents, initial caps, width and
height of text, leading and paper stock.
Page layout - the creation
of the actual text in a computer format showing how the finished
pages will actually appear. Includes creation of title,
copyright and dedication pages as well as pagination and indexing
* (if desired).
Cover design - Our
standard covers are produced in full color on 10 pt. Carolina
stock coated one side. We can produce full color covers from
your artwork, or we can recommend a cover design artist to work with
you.*
Proof reading - a detailed
check of the edited, designed and printed form of the book against
your design intent, usually done by the author. You are
expected to sign-off on your review before we go to press.
Printing and binding - The
actual printing, trimming, assembly and perfect binding of your
finished books.
Shipping - we ship your
finished books, F.O.B. our plant, to any destination. We usually
use UPS or FedEx ground services. However we can ship
overnite at an additional expense.

are sometimes done by authors or sub-contracted to others)
