This is the base price and list of services for a standard ebook project. This assumes straight prose, chapter divisions, no unusual typography or illustrations. If you have other requirements, such as a non-fiction title with advanced formatting, illustrations, footnotes etc. get in touch and we can discuss what you need.

Most ebook projects go through the following stages. (This project case study provides a more technical description of the process and there's a checklist to help you prepare your own book.)

Please note the standard contract does not include basic I.T. support, although it can be provided separately at a fixed hourly rate. You will also need access to the appropriate ebook reader devices or apps to test your ebook.

• Document conversion:
  Rather than going through an automated process, each title is carefully formatted to ensure it looks good on the target ebook readers. I accept a wide range for source document formats, including Word, RTF, HTML, PDF, InDesign and more.
• Cover design:
  An eye-catching cover is created to help sell your ebook. This may incorporated supplied images, stock photos, or original art. Logo design and branding services are also available if you wish to create a range of titles.
• Testing and advice:
  The finished ebook is tested on the appropriate devices and reader applications. The final files are then delivered but I encourage clients to keep in touch in case they need advice or support.
