Budget Text & Cover Design
The elements of Custom Book Design and Do-It-Yourself Design have been combined into an affordable Budget Design option.
We can convert your basic fiction and prose-style non-fiction Word file into a print ready PDF. All you need to do is choose one of the three different text styles listed below. For your cover you will select a cover design from a wide assortment of pre-designed formats. If needed, you will either supply a hi-resolution image for your front cover or choose from thousands of images we offer.
If wanted, you will supply a high res image of author photo and fill in text data into an easy to understand form.
We will then combine all these elements into the finished, press ready cover. It doesn't get much easier.*
