Interior Typesetting process. How does that work?
(The manuscript needs to be edited and proofread before starting).
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: I receive the final edited and proofread manuscript and create a sample interior PDF for the paperback print file.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: The author reviews the sample and approves it.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: I complete the rest of the interior layout for the print version, which takes about 6-8 business days.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: The author reviews the full interior layout.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: We make any necessary changes based on feedback. I offer two free rounds of revisions to ensure everything is perfect.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟲: The author gives final approval for the interior paperback PDF.
𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟳: I convert the final print layout into an eBook format, which takes an additional 3-4 business days.
