The manuscript can be set to whatever size you require with margins and gutters set at the correct dimensions for printing in that size. Sizes include but are not limited to 6x9, 5.5x8.5, A5, 8.5x11 and pocket book. The service includes spacing of text appropriate for the style of the manuscript, paragraph indenting, chapter breaks, page numbering, and page headers in any style requested. A title page and a copyright page are inserted along with any other preliminary pages required. During the formatting process, we remove any incorrect formatting such as extraneous carriage breaks, manual double spacing, poorly formatted tabs, and line breaks caused by hyphens.

The digital manuscript format and layout services can be purchased in conjunction with an edit or as stand-alone services.

(e.g., including images, charts, tables, figures or other special formatting)

Quotes Available upon Request

Appropriate manuscripts for this service include, but are not limited to, technical projects, biographies, historical manuscripts, memoirs and family histories. Images will need to be sent separately from the text in JPEG, TIFF or GIF format. The images can be resized, compressed and will be inserted into the manuscript where indicated by the author. This service does not include the creation of artwork or securing the rights to artwork or images, but it does include re-sizing and positioning them to obtain the best overall design. The service includes providing the best layout for picture captions, sidebars, and any information outside the main body of the text.

The service also includes the insertion and formatting of a table of contents, footnotes or endnotes should they be required and conversion to PDF.

The cost of this service depends upon the size of the manuscript, the quantity of images and/or graphics to be included, and effort necessary to design and create the final ready-to-print manuscript. Please contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate.

No liability will be accepted for insertion of any images you do not own or have permission to use.

The digital manuscript format and advanced digital manuscript format and layout services can be purchased in conjunction with an edit or as stand-alone services. If purchased without an edit, the price quoted is for a manuscript of up to 80,000 words. For larger word counts, please check with us about the rate.
