5. Proofreading and Editing ​

​A professionally polished manuscript will help you feel confident in today's market.

A professionally polished manuscript is an essential step for all manuscripts.

Having your work checked by another person would be best for you.

Choose a professional editing and proofreading service rather than trying to do this yourself.

A finely polished manuscript will increase your confidence in your product and guarantee success.

6. Book Size and Binding Options

​First, research the size and binding option you want for your book. Then, stroll down to your favourite bookstore and look at some book sizes.

You can use the content of your manuscript as a guide. A small amount of content would require a smaller book size, and a large amount of content would require a larger book size.

We are happy to advise you on the most profitable, cost-efficient, and sustainable options. Then you will need to know the number of books to print and choose one of our marketing options.

We can provide you with the best bookbinding and size options based on your requirements and budget.

7. Cover Design & Content Formatting

​Despite the adage, "Do not judge a book by its cover," a good cover design is essential for a professional-looking book. A well-designed cover design can be eye-catching and increase interest in your new book. Cover Design Process - Read more

Formatting inside your book can be tricky. We work with margins, chapter headers, page numbers, justifications, drop caps, spacing, fonts, and indentation.

​If you know the elements, such as font type and sizes, you can suggest the elements you want to use, and we can take care of the rest.

8. ISBN and CiP Services ​

You complete a simple form with your details, and we do the rest!

We register your new ISBNs in your name with Thorpe Bowker and supply the ISBNs for your latest book and eBook.

We provide your barcode and place the barcode on the back cover of your book. ​We do not own the rights to your book title. However, Thorpe-Bowker will list us as the publisher of your work. We want to inform you that interested distributors should contact us; we can pass on your details with your permission​.​

9. Proof Copy
