AJ Formatting Services Form

Hi, I am offering authors formatting services for professionally designing their paperbacks, hardbacks, and eBooks.

For your book to be formatted, I will need to have the fully finished and edited manuscript. I will not accept unfinished works, only fully signed off manuscripts. Don't worry about the odd typo, as we all have them. These I can fix for you, if you suddenly spot them, just tell me where they are. I will at the start do a full spell check (if you are not from the UK then please state as I will be checking for UK spellings), I will not be checking grammar etc.

Please send:

  • Work in Google or Word format
  • Images for chapter headers / sections in JPG or PNG
  • Book sizes if not standard 6" by 9" size
  • Finished book versions will be in Epub and PDF

Formatting work will approximately take about 8 days, with an additional 5 to 6 days per book version and approximately 4 days grace per book version for editing and fixing issues. For example for an eBook and paperback full formatting time from submission to ready for publication will be, approximately 18 days*.

I will send you a draft after formatting for you to check the document to make sure you are happy with it. Any tweaks will be made within the 4 day grace period after you have checked the documents.

If there are issues uploading to Amazon let me know and I'll try and help.

If you need any changes made, let me know ASAP and I will fix them for you. If you wish to make changes to the manuscript, it will mean starting again on the formatting work, unless you can indicate the changes in the document for me to alter in the masters. In both cases this will be additional time of 3 to 6 days, if a full reformat there will be an additional charge.

Chapter header and front matter design work at an additional cost, will add more time to the ordered work. Depending on the design needed, this could take up to an additional 2 to 3 days. If you have designs in mind, please let me know and supply desired images.

I do not do free hand artwork, I only use stock or supplied images. If you wish for more individual artwork, then I suggest asking an artist and ask them to send the image file to me to add to your book.

Prices:

  • £35 per book version
  • £10 to design front matter (additional cost)
  • £15 to design chapter headers / main pages (additional cost)
  • £15 additional charge for reformatting

A non-refundable deposit of £15 required when work is sent through. Payments through PayPal.

* Please note time scales are approximate. I have a full time job, so formatting work is in my free time. I can usually do a couple of hours a night, more on the weekends, so time scales can be shorter. To ensure if there are any delays I like to have a buffer so if anything unforeseen arises your work will be with you on time. I can under exceptional circumstances do a quicker turn around if needed, but please let me know in advance if there is a short turn around time. If possible book early and I can ensure my time is allotted to you.

If you want me to design chapter headers / pages for you, I will need to know what design you are after. Give a brief description below (This design work will be an additional cost and additional time to the work. Main images must be supplied.)

If you want front matter graphics added and designed by me, I will need to know what font was used on the cover for your title, so I can replicate it. Also a copy of the cover to get the design the same. (This will be an additional cost and additional time to the work)

And another few days for any edits that may need to take place. (for example, eBook and Paperback will take approximately 18 days, this will increase if chapter headers and front matter designs are needed, depending on design detail this could be an additional few days.) *
