"...We all have a book inside of us waiting to get out,
Kellscraft Studio is here to help make it a reality..."
Here's what we can do for you:
-
Editing services: Review and suggest edits and
formatting, including spelling/grammar corrections, such as:
- developmental editing
-
copy editing
-
proofreading.
-
Book interior Design and formatting: Creating print-ready documents in Word (.docx) and PDF
formats.
-
Cover design: Working with you, we'll put together a book cover design, approved by you, for use in the final
project.
-
If a private printing (just for family and friends) a
published book (softcover, hardcover, hardcover with dust jacket,
etc.) can be produced in limited quantities. If this is to be a work
offered to the public, it can be set up for on-demand
printing (one to 100's of copies printed as needed.) We use Lulu.com
to publish these books, and they do offer sales direct from their
site for the general public. As the author, you will receive royalties
direct from Lulu.com.
-
Please note: At this time I do not offer marketing
services. I will produce a final printable work, which you can
order to sell to local bookstores or by other means. Lulu.com will list your book for sale for you also.
-
I charge $30/hour, 3 hours minimum.
- I will work closely with you
through all steps of the process.
- My goal is to get your project
to a printable stage with low cost to you, and offered for sale through Lulu.com.
-
Communication is key and As we work on the
project, we may have email, phone and on-line meetings to keep your
project moving and keep you informed of progress.
- Depending on the nature of your project, I offer scanning and photographic services, as needed.
