Formatting your document for fast, easy eBook publishing.

Fast, professional eBook formatting, priced with the indie author in mind. I can format your manuscript for:

• Kindle,
• SmashWords,
• Nook,
• Kobo and or
• CreateSpace.

I will provide you a .doc, a .prc, a .mobi an .epub or a .pdf, along with the correctly sized .jpg for the cover.Turn around time depends upon the number of books I am doing that day. Yes, that day. Most are back to you in less than 24 hours.

All work guaranteed!
You pay nothing until you are satisfied.
The price for formatting most books is less than $45.00!

I accept:

• Novels
• Short stories
• Others with consultation

Formatting:

• I accept MS Word files in either .doc or .docx (Other formats possible - just ask (.pdf .rtf and others)
• I can produce a Kindle ready .prc file and a Kobo ready .epub or a Nook (B&N) ready .mobi for you to submit.
• I can produce a SmashWords ready .doc file for you to submit.

Hints

• No tabs.
• Keep font changes to a minimum and stick with the "normal" fonts - remember - it will be ground up when it is submitted and you can't use the cool fonts like "Brush Script" etc.
• I find the safest fonts for the web include:

  Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, and Verdana - sorry, no Wingdings. My preference is Arial 11 - remember - eReaders can make it bigger or smaller at the owner's request. Also - Kindle displays it all as a courier type of font no matter what you do.

• Don't insert forced page breaks - they are much easier for me to put in for Kindle than they are to take out for SmashWords.

Pricing (Good through August 31, 2012):

• First book is $35.00 an hour. I will give a free estimate on the number of hours when you submit the file to me.
• Multiple books or repeat customers, the rate will be $30.00 an hour.
• Most books for pure formatting (no editing, no spell checking etc.) take about an hour or less.
• Prices are in US dollars.
