Book production services

We turn finished manuscripts into finished books.

Layout, covers, print-ready files, eBooks and translated editions for authors and independent publishers. You keep every right to your book.

A spread from the Youth Arise Illustrated Bible

What we do

Interior layout

Text and pictures set page by page, with correct margins, bleeds and trim. Picture books, illustrated books, novels and nonfiction.

Covers

Full wraparound covers with the right spine width for your page count and paper, and space for the barcode.

Print-ready files

PDFs built to the specs of KDP, IngramSpark and commercial printers, so they pass the printer's checks the first time.

eBooks

Clean EPUB files that read well on phones, tablets and e-readers.

Translated editions

Spanish and French editions laid out to match your original, with covers and spines recalculated for the new page count. Other languages by arrangement.

Corrections and new editions

When you change the text, we rebuild the files without starting over.

Our own books are our portfolio

Everything we offer, we have done for ourselves first. We have six books on the market, including the Youth Arise Illustrated Bible, a two-volume set with 230 full-page illustrations, published in English, Spanish and French.

How it works

    Use the form below. Share a link to your manuscript and pictures if you have them.

  2. Get a clear quote.

    Within 2 business days we reply with the price, what is included and the timeline. No charge for the quote.

  3. See it before it's final.

    You review sample pages first, then the full proof. We make the corrections.

Who we work with

Independent authors, small presses, churches and ministries, schools, and publishers who need dependable production help without hiring a full production team.

Questions, answered

Who owns the book and the files?

You do. You keep all rights to your text and pictures, and you receive the finished files and the editable sources.

Do you upload my book to Amazon or IngramSpark?

No. We prepare files that are ready to upload, and we can walk you through what goes where, but you upload them to your own account. We never ask for your logins.

Do you create illustrations?

Yes, by arrangement. Our illustrations are made with AI image tools under our own art direction, then selected, corrected and checked by hand for consistency, so characters look the same from page to page. We tell you this in writing before any work starts. If you already have artwork, we lay out what you give us.

How do you translate?

We prepare the translation with machine translation, then it is edited and reviewed before layout. We offer Spanish and French as standard. For other languages, we agree a review plan with you first, including a native-speaker reviewer where the language needs one.

What file formats do I get?

Print-ready PDF interior and cover, EPUB for eBooks, and the editable source files.

How long does it take?

It depends on length and complexity. Your quote gives a firm timeline before you agree to anything.

How much does it cost?

Every book is different, so we quote each one. The quote is free and comes within 2 business days.

Can you fix files a printer rejected?

Yes. Send us the printer's message and your files, and we'll tell you what's wrong and what it takes to fix it.
