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 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.

Rare is the photograph you’ll only use once in your manuscript. Often times, it may also be used online, through social networking, sharing with family, and promotional materials of many types. If you’ve not digitized a photo yet, we suggest a couple of options:
Keep masters of the highest resolution you have captured or can make – until replacing with updates or improvements. Reduce quality and size for each use from master.
Evaluate all uses you feel you will need and capture or produce graphics of a size that will satisfy them all.

Did you know that any file you currently use (and reuse) in an Microsoft Office program may potentially be saved as a template? Choose File, Save As, then click the down button to the right of the 2nd pull down menu (file type) in the dialog box that popped up; click template (Word Template, Excel Template, etc.) then set your file name and save. Many create a dedicated file area for high use templates.

If possible, it’s always a good idea to have your publisher selected before finalizing your color hard cover files. Though all cover art will need to allow for the thickness of the book board, as it folds around it and attaches to the inside (under the end sheets), variances in many other things will change the exact size and placement of elements on the cover layout. Additionally, even if returning to a publisher, don’t assume the cover process hasn’t altered in some way over time.

Top reasons to publish electronically by disk:
- Accessible without internet connection.

When designing color covers, if there is any possibility you may produce hard covers this consideration should be addressed when putting the file(s) together:
Anywhere the cover has high wear, such as spine hinge and the outer edge (or fold) of the cover image density is a factor if long wearing covers are a goal. While bright colors and high contrast images are traditional favorites for color covers, lower pigment density slows wear (and separation from protective lamination). For longest wear, it is recommend that these high wear areas have a combined CMYK density of no more than 260.
