COVER DESIGN
The number-one reason that someone buys a book is because a friend or family member recommended it.
The number-two reason that someone buys a book is because of the cover. Cover design is the face your book shows to the reading world. Good design compels a reader to pick up the book and turn it over to look at the blurbs. Good design is good advertising.
Cover design should look amazing on a book shelf as well as in an Internet store.
INTERIOR DESIGN

PRINTING
Print-On-Demand (POD) is the best choice for most authors. It's cheap, fast, easy to correct, and you can order as many copies as you like — from one to one thousand.
Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is the vanguard of POD, and its books are well-made and good-looking, with a choice of a glossy or a matte cover. KDP also has economical pricing on its full-color POD books.
IngramSpark is another option for POD. Three paper stocks are available for color printing and two options for hardcover books, one with a cloth cover and dust jacket.
E-BOOKS
E-book distributors like Amazon and Barnes & Noble use various file types. Our ePub files will work anywhere.
Authors who order an interior design automatically receive an ePub file for uploading to the distributor of their choice.
Books with illustrations / images are subject to additional costs.
Offset Printing
This is traditional printing on a press, and it typically requires higher quantities of books but results in the highest-quality product. Authors will find the most options in terms of cover and paper stocks, binding methods and color availability. Unlike Print-on-Demand books, off-set printing usually requires some inventory risk.
