Questions - If you have a
question regarding self-publishing, formatting, layout,
etc., you can contact me via
email or by phone at 770-309-8233.
I do not charge for questions that only take a few
minutes to answer, however, a small payment for my time
if I was able provide you with the help needed is always
appreciated. If you have received help and would like to
send a small amount as thanks you can do so by using the
PayPal button below.
If your question requires more time to answer my rate is $35 per hour.
Formatting Quality Check - send me your formatted book to look over and give feedback and suggestions on how it could be improved. I will look at the overall styling, fonts used, line spacing, common formatting mistakes, margin settings, etc. I do not proofread or edit the document; my focus is on the styling only. However, if I do happen to notice any spelling or grammar errors I will point them out for you. This service requires that the book be sent as a Microsoft Word document, PDF or a copy of the printed book via mail. You can email your book document to me or if too large for email you can upload it through my file exchange service. Cost: $35.00
Document Troubleshooting/Help - if you have formatted your book in Microsoft Word and are having trouble with getting the running chapter headers, page numbers, table of contents, page breaks, etc., to work correctly you can send me your document to set them up right. For an estimate email me your Microsoft Word document along with a description of the problem and I will reply with an estimate to fix it. If your document is too large for email you can upload it through my file exchange service. This is not a complete formatting service and only includes fixing the problem you are having. If you need full book formatting services click here. Rate: $35.00 per hour
Book Cover Layout Help - if you have the layout and artwork for your book cover already complete but need help setting it up to meet your printer's requirements I can do that for you. Send me what work you already have completed and I will see what needs to be done and provide you with an estimate. For an estimate email me your files along with your printer's requirements or contact information (phone, email or URL). If your files are too large for email you can upload it through my file exchange service. This is not a complete book cover layout service and only includes setting up your existing cover to meet your printer's requirements. If you need full book cover layout services click here. Rate: $35.00 per hour
