Design and Layout
Readers Do Judge Books by Their Covers
And that’s fine with us—we work with some of the best designers around.
Does the idea of putting your book onto an actual bookshelf excite and terrify you in equal measure?
Designing a professional grade book, inside and out, is a complex process. But it doesn’t have to be…
Beautiful Covers To Stand Out on The Shelf
We Make Books That Sell Easily & Look Fantastic!
Cascadia Author Services is dedicated to creating books that jump off the shelf, and keep your readers happy with well-placed interiors that feel comfortable on the eye.
Cover design
Cover design is the process of creating the all-important cover that serves as the book’s first impression. All covers are custom designed for each individual book. You’re welcome to offer as much direction as desired toward cover design and the designer will create three initial concepts for you to choose from. At least one concept will incorporate your direction, and the designer may offer an alternative cover idea with at least one concept. You’ll select one concept to be further developed into the cover, and after that concept has been developed and re-presented, you have two additional opportunities to request changes. The final cover will be given to you in print-ready, PDF format.
Typesetting
Typesetting is the creation of the interior of the book, and includes the proper layout of text, titles and subtitles, chapter headings, title pages and “opening pages” such as copyright, dedication, author’s note, etc. The typesetter will see the cover design and will create a sample chapter, including chapter headings and standard text pages, for you to consider. You’ll approve, and after that sample has been developed and re-presented, you have an additional opportunities to request changes. The final interior will be given to you in print-ready, PDF format.
Ebook Conversion
To be sold as an ebook, a completed book needs to be converted into ePub file in order to be read on any e-reader. The creation process includes the complete interior and the front cover of the book, and the converted files are thoroughly checked for formatting errors which may have been created in the conversion. All files are tested on live e-readers as part of the quality control. You’ll be given the ebook in both ePub and mobi formats, and may request one set of corrections for any errors.
