FAQS for Self-Publishers and Authors
(If anything is unclear or you require further information, please don't hesitate to contact me)
What do I need to provide in order for you to design my book internals?
For the book typesetting process, I require:
-
The book size / dimension (obtainable from printing company/service)
-
The title
-
The author name
-
The copyright information for your imprint page (otherwise known as a copyright page or title verso page).
-
Your finished manuscript provided as a Word document. In most cases, simpler is better – fancy design flourishes usually don't transfer well! but please do include italics where needed and ensure paragraph breaks are clear.
-
Any pictures (provided in a separate folder)
Although I can do light proof corrections I strongly recommend you send your manuscript fully proofread and edited. Making text corrections once the book is designed is time consuming and therefore more costly (I include one round of light corrections in my rate but thereafter charge an hourly rate for further corrections).
​
​If your manuscript contains pictures please indicate where they should be placed by inserting text . Please send pictures separately, clearly labelled and in a folder. I recommend the free site wetransfer.com for sending large files.
What do I need to provide in order for you to design my book cover?
For the cover or book jacket design process, I require:
-
​​The book size / dimension (obtainable from printing company/service)
-
The title
-
The author name
-
The blurb
-
The price
-
The ISBN (see later question)
-
Any specific pictures / logos you wish to use
-
Any stylistic requirements (colors, font style etc.)
-
Examples of other cover designs you like are also useful
Many authors and publishers prefer to provide their own images to be used but equally it's fine if you are only armed with an idea or just the title! If you would like to use your own pictures, ideally these should be 300 dpi and large enough for the space they are fitting into. If in doubt, I can take a look and let you know if there are any issues. I recommend the free site wetransfer.com for sending large files.
How do I get an ISBN number?
You can buy your ISBN number online, it's depend on your country. There are many ISBN number agency available country by country. ISBN number must be registered with your details. ​
​
Buy ISBN from following ISBN agencies:
How do I get a barcode?
I can provide a barcode free of charge - I would just require the ISBN number. Some self-publishing services / printers (Amazon KDP for example) insert a barcode once you've uploaded the cover design, in which case I leave a space in the correct space in my design.
What happens after the design is complete?
Once I've sent you the completed proofs and you've checked them thoroughly, I can provide a print-ready PDF for you to send to your printer / upload it onto self-publishing platforms (Amazon KDP) or your alternative service. I can help if there are any particular requirements in terms ion submission.
What timescale should I expect?
There is a certain degree of flexibility (I do work full time and during weekends when absolutely necessary!) but I usually work to roughly a three-week timescale for delivery of files. Some projects are faster and it does depend on the length of the book and complexity of design.
What payment types to you accept?
I prefer to be paid via PayPal, Direct bank transfer. For Indian customers, I prefer online transfer, cheques or many convenient way.
