Add-ons
ARC — $30 for the first 35 chapter, 50 cents a chapter after that
Typically we do ebook ARCs, and this price is if you have provided us with the final manuscript. If we do not have the final manuscript, the cost of an ARC is $75.
Additional typesetting of paperback edition — $1 per 1,000 words
All of our books are typeset, but this option provides extra polish. Here we remove orphan lines from the tops of pages and scene break indicators from the bottoms of pages, to make your book conform to the same standards as a high end, traditionally published hardcover.
Site Specific Ebooks — $10 each
These editions have site specific sales links for your other books. The Nook edition will have Barnes and Noble links, the Amazon edition will have Amazon links, etc.
Color Ebook Chapter Headers — $25
Typically we do the ebook chapter headers in grayscale, but this option includes color.
Rush Fee — $100
This is for projects that require a turnaround of 3 days or less. We’ve done formatting in as little as 24 hours, but we recommend, of course, leaving more time. If you will require a rush job over the weekend or holidays, please notify us in advance.
Typo Corrections and Other Hourly Work — $25.00 per hour
We are happy to provide you with the source files if you want to manage updates and typo corrections, or you can have us do it.
About Us
The E.M. Tippetts Book Designs team consists of four work from home mothers. You will have a team of two or three people working together on your project. We do not require you to book with us in advance unless you will require a rush job over the weekend or the holidays.
To submit a job, visit www.emtippettsbookdesigns.com and fill out the form under “Submit a Job”. Then follow the instructions at the end of the form to send us your manuscript and ebook cover.
We will prepare draft files for your review, and at that point, you can stipulate any changes you need. We will then prepare your final files. The entire process takes approximately one week.
