Greetings, from a fellow author. You'll find 26 of my books at Kindle Store, Smashwords, iTunes, and Barns & Noble. I do all my own formatting, cover design and illustration (I'm also an artist). I've had a lot of experience, both with my own books and many other people's.

I can format your book. My services to you include:

  • converting your manuscript into ePub, Kindle, or PDF;
  • formatting it to look professional,
  • anchoring the graphic images,
  • installing a linkable table of contents,
  • placing the cover and
  • validating it to make sure it's accepted by places like iBooks, B&N, Lulu.com, Smashwords and Amazon
  • I can also prepare print ready PDF files (cover and book interior) to submit for printing on demand (POD) to services like CreateSpace.com,
  • And design a cover and/or draw some illustrations
-- all for a reasonable price (see my price list).

My cost For a text only novel of 100,000 words (no illustrations or graphics), would be $69/£59. That would include a linkable table of contents, professional page and paragraph formatting, placing the cover, and making sure that your book is ready to upload to the publishing sites.

I don't just convert your file, I format it so it's up to standard.

To include illustrations, tables and other objects the cost is $1.50 per object.The cost of designing a cover for would start at $80/£67.
