A book is only as good as the files used to print it. That’s why our prepress team works with you to ensure your book’s files are perfect. You’ve formatted and prepared your manuscript and book cover to look exactly how you want them—so we want to make sure your book is perfect when it’s printed.
A print-ready file specialist will be assigned to ensure your book's interior and cover files are set up properly for our presses—before we send them to print. If your files need adjustment that you aren't sure how to handle, your specialist will assist you in bringing your file in line with the necessary technical specifications (additional fees will apply).
To see if your book is press-ready contact your Publishing Consultant for a copy of our Print Ready File Creation Guide.
