Six stages, and we handle all of them. Digital composition turns your manuscript into a clean file — we accept handwritten notes as well as typed ones. Editing polishes the text while keeping your voice. Formatting brings it up to print industry standard. Cover design produces a finished, print-ready cover. Registration files your ISBN and barcode with the government, normally within seven days. Then printing, quoted by format, quantity and finish. Every stage is priced individually on our packages page, so you can take all six or only the ones you need.
Yes, and the pop-up work is genuinely rare — we are the only publisher in the USA offering 3D pop-up book printing. We also print simple board books, built to survive being chewed, dropped and loved by the youngest reade and kids' learning flashcards on hard-wearing card stock with finishes made for daily classroom and home use. All three are covered by our children's book printing service.
Editing comes at two levels, priced by manuscript length. Basic editing corrects grammar, punctuation, spelling and sentence structure, and includes one free revision plus a mentorship session with your editor — tailored to your manuscript length. Advanced editing adds structural work on scenes and characte with three free revisions and mentoring, customized to your project scope. Cover design includes bespoke artwork tailored for digital and print formats with dedicated revisions. Print-ready typesetting and file creation is optimized for standard industry formatting.
We print flye brochures, posters and event collateral alongside the book itself, so launch material matches the cover rather than being sourced separately. We also recommend ordering a press proof before any full run: a single printed copy you can hold, photograph for social media, and take to bookshops or events while the main print run is still being made.
Yes to both. PDF is our preferred format — with a PDF print driver installed, virtually any program can produce a file suitable for printing. On quantity, we recommend printing roughly six months of supply rather than committing to a large run: most self-publishing authors order 100 to 150 copies, and experienced authors usually stay under 500. You can always print more if the book sells. Runs above 10 books qualify for volume rates. Turnaround depends on binding: perfect bound takes 10 to 15 business days, spiral bound 3 to 4 weeks, and hardcover 5 to 6 weeks, plus proofing and shipping.
Absolutely. We recommend printing a press proof as a great way to check out the look and feel of your book before committing to a full order. That way you can hold your book in your hands, just like your readers will, and see if your printed book is just how you envisioned it — from the cover design to the size.
