5 Steps of Book Layout
After helping dozens of authors navigate self-publishing, I've refined my process to keep up the momentum and ensure your feedback stays front and center. Once you're on board, I'll create a production schedule to keep us on track. Here's what you can expect:
1. Mockups
I create three unique mockups using sample pages.
You pick a design or mix and match elements to build a layout you love.
Design
2. First Pass
I lay out the entire book.
You review the first pass and request design adjustments, textual changes, and other corrections.
3. Second Pass
I deliver a revised file with advanced typesetting.
You review the second pass to check my work and catch mistakes missed in the first pass.
4. Third Pass
I deliver a revised file.
You review the third pass to check my work and catch any last-minute typos.
Revision
5. Final Pass
I input final corrections and deliver the final layout.
You check my work and approve the final interior.
eBook (if requested)
I convert your print layout into an EPUB ready for immediate publication.

Celebrate! Because you have a beautiful, professional layout you love, and your book is ready for publication!

Pricing
Every book is different, and I price projects according to length, complexity, and time requirements. I use a flat-rate system to keep it simple and transparent, with layouts starting at $650.​​
