Proofreading is one of the differences between the amateur and the professional. Proofreading occurs after the book has been typeset and refers to checking the typeset for hanging widows, orphans and errors including bad breaks, line shifts and hyphenation. This step of the process is NOT optional and is added on to the Typeset fee.

 

 

Once your customer has picked the book up off the shelf, it must be easy to read and not overwhelming. Adding plenty of whitespace and not cramping the fonts together insures this.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES: Client is responsible to provide edited manuscript, error-free and ready for placement. Client will also provide organization logo, and artwork from cover.

DESIGNER PROVIDES: 1st Chapter concept for approval (all guts will be based on cover design elements). Final files in .pdf and layered native (InDesign) files.

PROCESS INCLUDES: Manuscript typeset and submitted to client/proofer for revisions. Paige1Media strongly suggests the use of a professional proofreader on these type of jobs and is not responsible for any errors that occur during “typeset”. (We can recommend excellent proofreaders/editors to assist in this part of the process). If no “proofer “ is retained the designer will accept 2 sets of revisions from the client.

"Never judge a book by it’s cover.” While the thought is lovely it also seldom happens. The book cover really is what sells the book.

DESIGNER PROVIDES: Designer will provide 3 concepts of front cover. Final files in .pdf and layered native files (InDesign).
