A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before we
begin.

Which package is right for my book?

What files are included?

Standard Formatting includes a print-ready PDF and a valid ePub, plus a clickable table of contents and custom chapter styling. Visual Formatting includes everything in Standard with additional layout and image work.

Can you handle image-heavy books?

Yes. Visual Formatting covers graphics and image integration, full-bleed pages and complex page structures. Share your image count, tables and example pages when discussing your project.

What does Amazon A+ Design include?
