pdf eBook version (using your existing book files being converted to pdf eBook format that can be eventually converted to reader formatts)
With the internet being the way it is today and book sales being made around the world, being able to offer a pdf download of your book for sale is one of the newest marketing tips. This will make it easier to be on Amazon and your website for extended sales opportunities.
eBook - $150 Create locked and unlocked pdf file using existing cover and interior files made for printed book. The final pdf file can then be converted for readers.
NOTE: each reader (ie: SONY, KINDLE, MOBI, etc) has individual specifics to make a pdf convert to their use.
AND
as far as setting up for ePub...(there is a difference) I don't do that YET, I'm still researching all the how-to's. Right now I can take the files that were created for the printed book and convert them into a locked and unlocked pdf file for your download use from your website.Above price is for creating a master pdf file of our book, using existing book files, into pdf eBook form for mailing or selling off your site. This works well for out-of-country sales and for people who don't mind reading a book off the computer.
If you want to have your book separated out into one file for each chapter, this is priced by length of time to create the separate files per your direction. Project/product/business marketing and promotion consulting is an additional charge. Check out my consulting here
Price is for having it done at the same time that I've created your book. Price will vary if I'm not the one who created your book and if your interior was not created in QuarkXpress.
I know the book cover design process can seem overwhelming at times. —Karrie Ross, Book Cover Designer |

"I was stumped until I met Karrie. I had a 65 page 8 1/2 x 11 Word document and didn't have a clue on how to turn it into a book... until I met Karrie. She continually under promised and over delivered! She led me to istockphoto and helped me choose cover photos, led me to Lightning Source for on demand printing and coordinated all the technical file requirements for me. She's a joy to work with, I highly recommend her and I'll be using her on my future work. Thanks Karrie!" Book Cover Design Book Cover Design Book Cover Design & Interior Design
