Process

Project Intake – You provide your final manuscript, trim size, and platform(s).

Initial Layout – I design the first 10–15 pages to confirm type hierarchy and structure.

Full Formatting – Once approved, I complete the full layout and typesetting.

Revisions & QA – You get 2 rounds of revisions before final exports.

Final Delivery – You receive all required files and support for publishing.

Timeline

Print Layout Only (≤100 pages): About 7-10 business days

eBook Only: About 5-7 business days

These are estimates of how long the project will take. Final timelines will be determined in our initial discovery and brief phase. Timelines can take more time depending on genre, design direction, number of pages, add-ons and work load.
