Proofreading

This is done to ensure that all mistakes such as typo errors, spelling mistakes, missing punctuations etc are taken care of so that we have a clean and publishable manuscript.



Copy Editing

In copy editing, our editor looks at your manuscript in terms of consistency of grammar, spelling, punctuation and style. The editor ensures proper word usage and fixes awkward phrasing, suggesting alternatives when needed.


Comprehensive Editing

In comprehensive editing, our editor looks at the overall structure of the manuscript, including its concept and intended use, content, organization, design and style. The editor will work along with the author to ensure that the content is functional for the readers.

Interior Design

Interior design consists of typesetting the book in the relevant font styles, size, spacings etc. The typesetting of the book depends on the genre of the book e.g. typesetting of a poetry book is going to be very different from a fiction book.

Cover Design

“Don’t judge a book by its cover” is an old adage but most of us still form our first impression by the book cover. The cover will be designed in any of the following two ways -

  • We will provide you suitable images from stock photo to choose from and then we customize it to make it suitable for the book
  • The cover artist sketches / illustrates an image for the cover based on the central theme of the book

Illustration

Based on the target audience / readers and the theme of the book, the following illustrations can be added in -

Goya

Physical Book

  • For authors who are just starting out and are not sure of the book will be received, POD is a viable option as the author does not have to invest upfront on the print cost of the book. However, the print cost per copy will be higher (compared to when printed in bulk). So the author will have to either set a higher MRP or willing to accept a low profit / royalty per copy sold.
  • For authors who are seeing good traction on their book and have established an audience, then bulk printing is a viable option. The print cost will be much lower (compared to when printed in POD) and the author will be able to make a higher profit / royalty per copy sold.
