E-Book Cover & Kindle Formatting on a Budget.
E-Book Cover & Kindle Formatting
If you are looking for an affordable way to publish your electronic book, I can help. I will ensure that your book and book cover will be error free, and will be readily accepted by regular online bookstores.
Your manuscript will be laid out according to established professional standards. The final version will have a fully functional table of content, accessible from the menu, also and a visible TOC. The book will be optimised for easy loading on e-book readers, and will be properly formatted and styled.
The cover will be designed around your preferences and vision for the book. I will advise you on best practice, and create a cover that is eye-catching to prospective buyers.
If you have any special requirements, please send me a message here. I always encourage dialogue. I am not in the bulk volume market, and prefer to deal with real people.
When I have completed working on your book, you will receive:
- An electronic book cover. This is the ‘front’ cover so to speak, and does not include the printed cover. The cover will be supplied in jpeg format, and in all required sizes including compressed variants ready for the Internet;
- A fully compliant Kindle/Mobi (Kindle) electronic version of the book;
- A fully compliant ePub (other bookstores) electronic version of the book;
As always, there must be some terms and conditions. To make things fair to all parties concerned, here they are:
- One revision for the cover, and one separate revision for the electronic book formatting. In short, it keeps the price down, and prevents abuse of endless revisions. I’m a reasonable person, and it’s unfortunate that this must be stated;
- You must have a clear idea of what you want when I take the brief. This is the reason for point one. We will discuss your needs, and then I will put it together. The fee under this package does not allow for the luxury of, ‘I’ll know what I want when I see it’;
- No stock images or fonts are included in the fee. This means that any images or other media must be provided by you or purchased at an additional cost if any are required. Alternatively, I will use stock images and fonts in the public domain;
- The final manuscript must be no longer than 40 000 words, and contain no images, tables, or any other content other than regular text with bold and italic variants. It’s time consuming to format or typeset specialised manuscripts;
- Your book must be in its final state. You cannot keep editing and changing things once I begin my work. Continuing to make changes doubles my workload, and similarly my fees;
- Full payment is required up front after the initial discussion. I will advise you and discuss your needs, but I will not begin the work until the payment is made.
