Electronic Book Conversion – Discounts for all
Choose free electronic service, 50% off, or deeper discounts, depending on what is most helpful to you:
FREE: Submit a copy of your manuscript in MS Word and we’ll convert it to PDF at no charge. Electronic approval is required before using converted PDF for print production. These electronic book files are meant for personal and family use and enjoyment, as they will contain no Copyright or Digital Rights Management (DRM) protections.
OR Interested in a PDF book manuscript from hard copy? If it is document feedable, we will only charge a penny a page to convert (at least 50% savings)
OR EPUB file (more “traditional” EBook format) of interest? Basic file conversion is free, but seldom does a basic conversion result in a file authors are happy with due to the differences between the printed page and EBook formatting. If further services are desired, they can be billed at only $10.00 hour – over 50% savings.
Electronic file offers may be combined and files provided via Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box.com free of charge. Mailed file services available for a fee.
To qualify for your choice of special offer, you must do the following:
-
Send your manuscript (with production instructions and discount code), mailing information, and deposit to arrive at the publisher postmarked no later than 11-25-16 with code.
-
Use this Discount Code ONLY: “ENov16Conv”.

Whether you choose to add electronic material to a traditionally printed book, or produce a fully electronic book, think outside the box on what you may wish to include:
- Think of the value added to the book for signature collectors to have electronic copies of family correspondence.
- What will family members who are philatelic (stamp) collectors say about scans of handwritten envelopes with stamps and postmarks?
- Help set the stage of history by including copies of newspaper and other publication items from the family, geographical area, or culture.
