First we look at what you need or what help you can access in order to do some elements of formatting yourself.
As a general guide- A standard 200 page novel type book can be formatted ready for print with pages set up with correct margins, correct headings and chapter headings, page numbers and drop caps if needed in approx 2-3 hours. This can be done in Microsoft Word then transferred to PDF print Ready File.
The cost for an average book format with us $200.00. This price is based on a standard 200 page novel book that is on one file.
If you have text boxes and photos inserted this could take slightly longer and cost slightly more.
It all depends on what your own personal requirements are.
Books that have a more complicated structure such as text and pictures or high quality photos or with word wrapping will need cost more to format as the time taken is generally longer than the average 2-3 hours.
What an experienced designer does is takes all the text and elements as raw and places it in the design program from scratch.
To carefully arrange the file in this way takes a lot of skill and time. This design work is always quoted on the individual sighting of the manuscript file.
