Printing & Ebooks
Printing
There are so many details involved in printing books.
How many? Which binding? Which printer? Gloss or matte cover? What weight, color, and finish of text stock? We’re here to help you answer these questions and more. The first step is to determine the best method for printing: short-run digital, traditional offset, on-demand, or a combination. We can take care of the myriad details involved in deciding specs, gathering estimates, and getting your files to and through the press. We have long-term relationships with many quality printing companies and there are no minimum or maximum quantities if you choose to print through us. We have plenty of experience working with Amazon and IngramSpark if you choose to print on-demand and will even check your account’s specs and upload files if you wish.
Ebook Conversion
We make it easy!
Once your book is ready to print, we’ll use your final files and convert them to a high-quality ebook, generally within 10 working days. You’ll receive complete epub and .mobi files to work with major e-readers and Kindle, respectively. Unlike ebooks produced by common free online conversion apps, the design of your ebook will closely resemble the design of your printed book.
Publishing a full-color book? Children’s book? No problem! We can convert that to a beautiful, fixed-format ebook.
