FAQ
What software programs do you use for editing and manuscript layout design?
We edit exclusively in MS Word using Track Changes for total transparency. Typesetting and layouts are built in Adobe InDesign to guarantee high-end typography, exact trim margins, and zero-defect PDF generation.
What specific files and information do I need to provide to start the order?
You will need to upload your final edited manuscript as a Microsoft Word document (.docx). Additionally, you will specify your desired trim size (e.g., 5.5"x8.5", 6"x9"), target distribution platforms (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark), and any preferred font or decorative chapter styling choices.
How are manuscript revisions handled after initial file delivery?
Every package includes structured revision rounds. Revisions cover layout adjustments, font scaling, spacing modifications, or minor text corrections. You can review the initial proof copy and submit your feedback, which will be implemented promptly.
Are your deliverable files guaranteed to pass Amazon KDP and IngramSpark review?
Yes, 100%. All layout outputs are pre-flighted against exact publisher specifications, guaranteeing zero rejections for margin errors, gutter miscalculations, un-embedded fonts, or low-resolution visual elements. If a platform flags an issue, it will be rectified immediately at no extra charge.
Which editorial style manuals do you follow during proofreading and editing?
We follow the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) for fiction/memoirs and Oxford/APA standards for non-fiction, ensuring flawless grammar, consistent punctuation, and complete style accuracy throughout.
