Design & Layout
Your manuscript once finalised moves to the next stage…
A perfect layout
In order to print your manuscript to the highest standard, we may need to make technical changes. Simply forward your Word document to us, and we will provide you with an estimated cost of the work that needs to be done; with no obligation. We have a range of different packages to suit all needs and budgets.
Our designers assess your files aesthetically and typographically (considering fonts, kerning, line-length, leading and tracking) and produce pages that are both readable and visually appealing. We can also format and prepare your files for ePublishing, and manage the distribution to thousands of retailers and libraries worldwide.
