YOU are the PUBLISHER!
Little Big Bay (design & production) supports writers who are tired of hearing, "You should write a book!"
Authors may have uneven knowledge of layout, typography, grammar, preparation of photos, and getting a book to online retailers. "Easy" layout programs do not solve these issues. Unfortunately, ignorance is bliss, so when your book is in print and you discover that it lacks professional shine, it's too late.
Let us help soften the rough edges and make sure that the book living in your mind sees the light of day IN STYLE! We provide files for you to upload to KDP (Amazon) and help with that process. YOU remain both author and publisher.
We help with size-of-book suggestions, layout, and cover design. Style consistency and typographic correctness are applied throughout your manuscript. A print-ready PDF will be ready for you to upload to KDP.
EDITING
We'll offer comments on grammar and punctuation and bring to your attention places in the manuscript which the reader might find confusing; basically we act as a fresh eye to your text. This does not include re-structuring or re-writes. We assume that you have already finished that stage. The number of errors that are contained in a "final" manuscript can be startling and occur because the author has been so close to the material, not because they lack competence or skill. It is reassuring to have a final, under-the-microscope look at your text. And, of course, changes are only made with your approval.
After determining the scope of your book project, you will receive a detailed, no-obligation contract to review before any financial commitments are made. It will explain what product and benefits you receive and what book design and production will cost.
Get started by sending an email, using the CONTACT page, with as much of this information as you have available: subject, title, size of book, estimated number of pages, illustrated or not. Include any questions you might have.
We understand that this description may change.
Please include both an email address and telephone number.
Every book is a true individual, and so are you.
That's how we'll treat both of you
Best regards,
