Some of the books I\u2019ve designed and helped the authors to publish<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

Your self-published book is your baby; it\u2019s precious to you.
We understand that. Let us help you to deliver it safe and well into the hands of your readers.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Editing and Proofing<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If a reader finds your book rife with spelling errors and bad\u00a0grammar you can expect an immediate negative reaction, and poor\u00a0reviews. It takes only one or two such poor reviews to badly\u00a0affect your sales. Don\u2019t take the risk. We carry out\u00a0professional checking of the spelling, grammar and consistency\u00a0of your text. Don\u2019t rely on your dumb software-based\u00a0spell-checker and even dumber grammar-checker if you want a\u00a0professional result!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Book Design and Publication Services<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you are looking to produce a print version of your book,\u00a0then you need a professional designer to lay it out with a\u00a0critical eye, format the text, and implement the myriad of\u00a0details which are required to make your book a quality\u00a0production. Selection of fonts; font sizes; headers and\u00a0footers; page imposition. Getting these details right is very\u00a0important. Rightword can provide these design services for you.\u00a0We have worked with CreateSpace, Lightning Source, and Amazon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you want to create an ebook version, we can help there as well. Even though there is less control over layout and typography with an ebook, design is still very important. We have considerable experience in generating clean, standards-compliant ebooks from manuscripts, and can help you through submitting your book to Amazon, Kobo or Smashwords.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether you want to self-publish your book as an ebook, as a\u00a0traditional hard-copy printed book, or as both, I can\u00a0do all of the hard work of preparing, formatting and submitting\u00a0your manuscript to ensure the best-looking and easiest-to-read result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cover Design<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whether in print or in ebook format, your book needs to\u00a0look<\/em>\u00a0professional and attractive. Many readers do in\u00a0fact judge a book by its cover. An interesting and intriguing\u00a0cover makes a potential reader stop and consider your book\u00a0among a host of others. Poor cover design is all too common\u00a0with self-published works. We can help you find, license or\u00a0commission a striking image and carry out a complete cover\u00a0design for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

See here<\/a>\u00a0for some cover\u00a0design samples.<\/p>\r\n

Interior Design<\/h3>\r\n

The look of the interior of your book is just as important as the cover. It needs to be attractive and above all, easily readable. We can help you choose fonts and decide on margins, header styles and everything else that is required.<\/p>\r\n
