Vellum Formatting
An affordable option to Typesetting.
Interested in having your book formatted for print and ebook?
Putting out a polish project as an independent author can not only be time-consuming but expensive. If you'd prefer not to pay for specialized typesetting, Vellum formatting might be the perfection option for you! There are some stylistic limitations, but the decreased cost makes it worth it and you are still left with a beautiful end-product.

These can be done at any time during or after delivery of the final files. (An example is having readers point out errors your editor may have missed and you require updates to your formatted manuscript).
