Where books become reality!

This is where we tell you all the neat stuff we do:

Ghostwriting:

If you do not yet have a book, we work with you to elicit the substance of your book and then express it on paper
in whatever style you choose.

Manuscript Preparation

If you do not have your manuscript in a word-processor, we will type it or scan it so that it is computer-readable--
vital in today's publishing world.

Professional editing

No matter how good a writer you are, few books are immune from glitches. We can work with you at three levels:

• Conceptual editing: does your story "hang together"? Are the characters believable? Is the plot realistic?
• Content editing: Does dialogue flow? Is material in the right chapters? Is the English at the right level?
• Line editing: grammar, punctuation, spelling

Cover art and design:

In conjunction with you, we can design the cover, incorporating whatever artwork you already have.
Or we can acquire just the right artwork or photo to showcase your book in its best light.

Illustrations and graphics:

If your book needs diagrams, charts, maps, or any other kind of graphic, we prepare them using our
state-of-the-art computer graphics software.

Book design and desktop publishing:

In this step, we take your manuscript and flow it into pages of the final size using desktop publishing software.
We can offer you a wide selection of typefaces to choose from or you can let us guide you based on our extensive experience.

Some of our clients opt for electronic publishing, by selling an e-book from their website. We can generate a PDF-version
of your book as an alternative to traditional ink-and-paper publishing.

Pre-press:

In today's complex world, our computers talk directly to the printer's computers.
However, readying the book for the printing presses is tricky, and much can go wrong.
Fortunately, we have done this so often that the printers enjoy working with our projects
and know that they can expect trouble-free files from us.

Selecting and managing a printer:

With hundreds of printers to choose from, where do you start?
With our contacts, we can achieve the optimum balance of quality, cost, and timeliness on your behalf,
and we manage the whole process for you. We check the printers' proofs and then forward them to you
for your final sign-off before the presses roll.

Details, details, details:

Book publishing is awash with details, such as telling the Library of Congress about your book and obtaining your ISBNs.
Because we have produced so many books, we can handle all the hundreds of things that
many small publishers often overlook, such as creating a scannable barcode for the back cover.

Book Distribution:

Printing your book is just the beginning. If you don't want to handle retail and trade orders yourself, we also work with you
to select an order fulfillment house with 800 number and credit card facilities, place your book with wholesalers and/or
distributors, get your book listed with online bookstores such as Amazon.com, etc., etc.
