Preparing your book for publication
| On disk: |
Our software includes InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, Microsoft Office (including Word), Image Ready, Dream Weaver and Illustrator. We have 1200dpi laser colour printers and optical scanners.
|
| On paper: |
If your manuscript is not on disk you need to add charges for scanning. 'Clean' copy is copy which is not so faded or blurred or irregular that eight pages of manuscript cannot be accurately scanned in less than an hour. 'Dirty' copy costs more, depending on how long it takes.

This is what we do
We:
- provide free quotes so you know exactly what your book will cost to publish before outlaying anything
- show you samples of books we have published so you can see how your book would look
- consult fully with you at every stage
- take your manuscript from paper or disk, edit it (unless you wish us not to), consult with you, typeset it, lay it out, and arrange illustrations if required
- have your book printed by Salmat Document Management Pty Ltd, from 50 copies, to 1500 copies or more; Salmat can hold your work on optical disk and reprint it at any time
As the author:
- you are in control of your book
- you read and check the final proofs
If your book is for sale, we:
- provide copies as required to the National and State deposit libraries.
- list your book here on our web site
- arrange reprints at any time, from 5 copies to 1000, quickly and inexpensively.
This is what we don't do
- We do not promote or market the books we publish beyond listing them on this web site.
- We do not produce a book that may lay us open to litigation, or, in our view, is likely to offend.
