We will accept the following manuscript file types for both download and print formatting: Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, OpenOffice.org, Plain Text, HTML, and Rich Text Format.

Manuscripts will be formatted to match printer specified guidelines (typically 5x8 or 6x9), with page numbers, standardized fonts, full justification, chapter headings, table of contents, and running heads. We will also work with graphics, tables, figures, and bulleted and numbered lists, as well as other special needs. For additional information regarding formatting services and rates, please select Manuscript Formatting.

Once your manuscript has been formatted with the correct settings, we will create an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. With a PDF, you can upload or sell your work in a cross-platform format, which means that your work can be purchased and viewed by most major operating systems. Having a PDF can save you time in the upload process. (PDFs can also be customized to fit special needs, such as web addresses converted to hyperlinks, active link table of contents, or a sidebar index linking to chapter headings or specific sections.) For additional information regarding PDFs and rates, please select PDF Creation.

If you have images to use for your cover but do not have the necessary software or design experience to create your cover from scratch, we will take your existing images or design ideas and create a printer-ready cover. Please select Graphics for additional information.
