PREMIUM BRANDING PACKAGE

ULTIMATE FORMATTING PACKAGE

Even though you will be independently published, you may use our ISBN, logo and brand/imprint while you still retain all rights to your book. Using our imprint means instead of your book saying you’re self-published, Paperback Press, Kids Book Press or Audio Book Press will show as the imprint you are published under. This gives your book a professionally published image.

We offer expert print and eBook formatting, customized chapter headings, graphics and a PDF proof for approval.

*If formatting issues are found, we will correct them. If up to twenty (20) typos or text corrections are needed, we will make them. If there are more than twenty (20) typos or text issues, the author will be responsible for making the corrections. We will send the files needed to do so. Please ask your

publishing coordinator about this when,

and if, the problem occurs.

Once all corrections are made, we will restructure the manuscript and send another PDF proof. When the PDF proof is approved, we will upload a professional and industry standard file to your specified digital and POD account/accounts then order your printed proofs for further inspection.

A professional one on one relationship with your publishing coordinator is guaranteed. We provide instructions, advice and assistance with any and all aspects of the publishing process until the project is complete and beyond.

This package offers a unique option for you to use our brand and imprint while you allow us do all the work from beginning to end. You sit back and enjoy the experience.

(Professional editing and general service agreement is required.)
