About 6PG
Comments Off
Professional book designSix Penny Graphics specializes in all aspects of professional book design including book covers, dust jackets and interiors designed and typeset from your manuscript files.
You can wide find a selection of design samples here, but feel free to ask if there’s something else you’d like to see.
I can also design your other print materials including flyers and brochures, postcards and bookmarks, business cards, press kits, and just about anything else.
Material and manuscript submission
Manuscripts are accepted in Microsoft Word, RTF, and many other formats. If you’re not sure if your file is acceptable, contact 6PG to arrange a free no obligation evaluation.
Files can be sent via email, by upload to the DropBox, or you can mail a disc.
If you have images to scan, you can contact 6PG for guidelines about resolution and file formats.
Turnaround time
Turnaround time is currently 7-10 business days from the time your deposit and project materials are received until your first proofs are ready.
I updated the Request a Quote page using a terrific plug-in called cforms from delicious days. Now, you can request a quote for your book project using the new, more detailed quote request form.
