A. PLATINUM PACKAGE MANUSCRIPTS
As part of the Platinum Package, our manuscript preparation team will implement the appropriate page layout and interior design of your book. This means that there is very little for you to do in terms of formatting your manuscript file before you submit it to us.
Here is what we suggest for
efficient file handling:
Fill out and submit the Document Fact Sheet to us along with your manuscript.
Combine all of the pages for your book into one document file, including the dedication, foreword, introduction, table of contents (we will generate the page numbers for you), epilogue, about the author, “to purchase more copies”, etc. pages you choose to implement. *We cannot accept manuscripts with separate files for each chapter or book element.
Required text for permissions regarding quoted material within the manuscript must be included within the manuscript document.
Insert Chapter Titles/Subtitles at the appropriate places within manuscript, each chapter starting on a new page (using the “insert break-next page” function in your word processor works best for this).
Spacing – No particular page size is required. Set lines and paragraphs to single spacing except where you desire a space between paragraphs to indicate a break in the thought flow. Also include a line space above and below any subheadings or block quotations.
Paragraph breaks - Ensure that all paragraphs are indented using tabs or paragraph styles, not spaces typed with the space bar on your keyboard.
Images – Please provide separate files for every image you wish to include on the manuscript pages. Images should be of a resolution no less than 300 dpi, greyscale, and sized close to the final print size. TIFF or PNG file formats are preferred, but high-quality JPG files may also be submitted. (Please note that there may be additional charges for image handling in advanced typesetting scenarios.)
