Publishing Services for Authors

One Place for Your Publishing Needs

From manuscript preparation to professional book formatting services, digital publishing, and author promotion, our goal is to make the publishing process easier and more accessible.

Whether you are publishing your first ebook, preparing a print book for KDP, or looking for professional support for an existing manuscript, we can help you identify the services that best fit your project.

Book & Publishing Services

We currently offer five core services:

1. Book Design & Formatting

2. Self-Publishing & Digital Publishing

3. Writing & Manuscript Services

4. Editing & Proofreading

5. Author Marketing & Promotion

You can request information about one service or combine several services depending on your publishing needs.

Book Design & Formatting

Book formatting prepares a manuscript for print or digital reading. The Digital Club offers book design and formatting support for authors preparing print books and ebooks, including projects intended for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). The work needed depends on your manuscript, publishing platform and chosen edition.

Who can ask for help?

First-time and self-published authors, educators, professionals and organizations can ask about formatting a book, guide or educational publication. Tell us whether you have a completed manuscript, a draft or an existing book that needs a different layout or edition.

What can book design and formatting include?

• Interior page layout, typography and consistent chapter and section styles.
• Margins, headers, footers, page numbers, front matter and back matter.
• Placement of tables, images, charts and other visual elements.
• Print formatting for the intended book dimensions and publishing requirements.
• Ebook formatting for digital reading and distribution.
• Cover design or file preparation, when included in the agreed project.

Ask which of these services fit your project. Editing, proofreading, cover design and publishing assistance should be identified in the agreed scope rather than assumed to be part of every formatting request.

Which formats and platforms can I discuss?

Depending on the project, we can prepare PDF, EPUB, print-ready book files and files for Kindle or KDP. The required output depends on the edition, trim size, publishing platform and distribution method. Confirm the exact files you need before agreeing to the work.

What should I include when requesting a quote?

• A short description of your book and its intended readers.
• The current manuscript stage and approximate length.
• Whether you want a print edition, an ebook or both.
• The publishing platform and any book dimensions you are considering.
• Whether the manuscript contains images, tables, charts or other layout requirements.
• Any help you want to discuss with editing, the cover or publishing preparation.
• A preferred deadline and any questions for our team.

Start with a project summary through the Contact page. Our team can review your requirements and discuss the appropriate next steps.

How much does book formatting cost?

There is no single price for every book. Manuscript length, editing needs, design, formatting and cover work are among the factors affecting a publishing quote. Ask for a project-specific quote that identifies the services and output files included.

What should I confirm before work begins?

Confirm what you will provide, what files you will receive, which services are included, the price and payment terms, how revisions will be handled, and any agreed schedule. If you need help uploading files or using a publishing account, ask whether that work is included. File preparation alone does not establish an upload or distribution commitment.

Can you help with both print books and ebooks?

Yes. We offer both print and ebook formatting, depending on the project. Tell us which editions you want so the required files and scope can be discussed.

Can you help prepare files for KDP?

Yes. We can help prepare book files for KDP. Explain whether you plan a print book or an ebook and confirm the platform requirements and responsibilities for your project.

How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Book?
