Verbum Publications - bringing your ideas to print!

Formatting and Interior Design ... it's not just about the cover, your book needs to look good inside too.

So you've typeset your manuscript in 'word' or an equivalent word processing programme, you may have even attempted to format your work, and that's great ... but a lot of it will be lost in conversion to publishable files.
How much will need to be done at this stage to get your copy into shape varies greatly; if you have used clean formatting in your source document it helps, but there is invariably a bit of work left to do.
We can format your manuscript from your source file. If you provide a PDF, in spite of it maybe looking fine on screen we will probably need to convert back to source to make critical alterations that most people don't know are required –  like correct margins, mirrored layout, correct page size for the publication format required (A4 and A5 are NOT common sizes in the paperback market!) 
Then there is formatting for E-book, this is different from paperback. Here's the thing: Amazon and many of the other of the like publishing companies claim to make it much easier for you to do it yourself, they have programmes that will convert your files to the correct format, BUT there are often problems and it can be very time consuming and frustrating to correct these issues. 
​We can take a lot of the pain away by doing the job from scratch and applying a style of interior design to your book that gives it a visuality that looks right on all devices ... not just the paperback copy.
