Print on Demand With eBook - $300.00
Print on demand is a great way to get your book into your reader's hands with minimal financial risk. Let us navigate this process for you at sites like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing - Amazon's one stop shop for print on demand and ebooks. (KDP merged with and replaced CreateSpace.)

Price includes:

• Formatting your MS Word file for ebook conversion (other file types will be converted to MS Word).
• Maintaining/updating your Word file by adding any content changes from the layout process.
• Setting up your title at one POD outlet of your choice. (You set up the account; we go in and set up the book within your account - title, keywords, pricing, etc.)
• Uploading print-ready PDFs of your cover and interior files.
• Converting the Word document to ebook format.
• Correcting technical errors and re-submitting files as needed.

Other considerations may apply, but we are happy to walk you through the process.
