What’s included in the interior design and formatting for print and ebooks?
Interior design for a printed book or ebook starts at $275 for a mainly text 72-page (≈25,000-word) book. Firm project quotes are given upfront, but vary with complexity of the text.
We give discounts to publishing companies and repeat clients. Free one-on-one phone and email consulting is included with a design contract.
What’s included:
Cleanup of Word manuscript for best formatting in InDesign.
Design sample of a few chapters; we’ll confirm before formatting the full PDF proof.
Full custom interior styled and prepared per printer/distributor/store specs.
Graphics edited/sized to printer and ebook distributor specs.
eBook with unlimited active hyperlinks (bibliography links may cost extra).
Text corrections after formatting (major rewrites causing reflowing pages may incur fees).
Typical turnaround: 1–3 weeks for print-ready proof or ebook ready files (depends on author review time).
You keep all royalties; we retain no rights.
10% discount for later books in a series.
Final files delivered by email, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
*Additional costs or other services
Additional costs rarely arise but, once in awhile there is something else you need from our graphic designers after receiving and agreeing with the quote; such as editing or proofing or starting with a revised print book size, or starting over with a resubmitted manuscript. We deliver a design agreement listing the services you request, along with the quote, at the start of the project. Click CONTACT to call with any questions. We are happy to explain.
