These steps summarize what you can expect during the production process of your book cover/spine/back design and how we’ll be working together.
We’ll have a friendly phone conversation. We’ll talk about your book's subject matter in depth, your book’s vision and the demographic of the reader to establish a solid design direction.
Once we’ve discussed all the details of your book, I’ll approximate the amount of hours to your book’s cover/spine/back design trim size and email you an accurate quote.
If you have photos or artwork email a Zip file, FTP, or mail me a DVD/CD-Rom containing all your photos or artwork and your text for your cover/spine/back design in a word-processing program.
I’ll gather all the proper printing requirements from your printer to properly prepare your files.
Your book cover/spine/back design is emailed to you as a PDF for a final proof.
Once approved, I can either upload the PDF file to your printer’s FTP site, your FTP site, emailed to you or saved on DVD and mailed directly to your printer or to you.
You’re a published author. I’ll mail you a DVD for safekeeping that will include: The Packaged InDesign file (your book cover/spine/back design artwork which will include: photos, fonts, prepress info for your printer and all other elements that were used) and a ready-for-print PDF file.
You’re a published author. This guide is straight forward guaranteeing from start to finish that your plan is achieved in your final book design and that you're 100% satisfied in the end. I’ll market your published book on my website with a link directly to where it can be found and bought.
