How should I supply my files to you for typesetting?

The best method to supply your text is in Microsoft Word with any illustrations supplied in tiff or jpeg format. Indicate in the Microsoft Word file where you would like the pictures positioned. We will design your book in the agreed trim size, font size and margins that you require and send you PDF proofs before supplying with you the final print ready files.

For designing a cover, paper case cover or book jacket please supply any images as jpeg or tiff with any wording that you require for the front, spine, back and flaps with any brief on how you might want this presented or leave the design up to us and we will do everything for you. We will liaise with you very closely to ensure that the book is presented for the best impact.
