The editing instances noted above are discussable and would require payment prior to changes being made.  I prefer to discuss the project at the beginning, after receipt and review of manuscript, with author as a consultation so that the issues of pricing 'extras' can be avoided if possible.  I will suggest changes the author should make, if author prefers that I perform changes, I will review extent of changes required and provide pricing prior to a signed agreement.  The glossary is a separate option altogether.  I prefer to work together with the author to assure satisfaction. SwordForLife Software does not check for plagiarism or already published works.  This is sole responsibility and liability risk of the author.

Suggestions for submittal preparation:

1. I do not edit for grammar, spelling or syntax errors without extra charges. Please proofread file well. 
​2.  I prefer books submitted in  either .TXT .DOCX file or Apple Pages formats with justified alignment.   No other formatting is necessary.  Formatting changes to eliminate excesses will incur an additional charge.

3.  Prepare Metadata form for your book. 



 

4.  12 pt font size is recommended as readers can alter size of print themselves.  Chapter Titles can be 14 or larger as desired.

5.  Please Use a standard font.  Times New Roman, Courier New or Georgia.

6.  Do not use page numbers in paragraphs to specifically site references to other pages as each eBook reader considers a page differently.

7.  Any tables or charts should be submitted as ordinary text files separately.

8.   Cover Art: .jpg, .png, .tif format 1400 X 1873 pixels is minimum. 72dpi min. and RGB color.

9.  Please do not use text wrapping around images. Images/pictures should be in their own space inline with text.

10.   Please do not use large letters to start off a paragraph with text wrapped around the large letter. This does not convert into epub formats.

11.   Publishing information, addresses, dates, ISBN and copyrights as well as acknowledgments should be within first few pages.

12.    I prefer open communication.  Calls or emails will be answered swiftly, not charged for, unless excessively abused. 13.    The Strafgesetzbuch section 86a must be followed or I will not accept offer to publish work.  It is part of standard publishing rules.

14.    Graphics must be in .jpg, mp4 or .mov formats for iBooks .jpg pictures or drawings.  Double check each image or movie for clarity.  Pixellated view of images will reject book from some stores. 

15. Usernames, passwords and other private information from the setup of your publisher accounts will be required for manuscript submission. All private information is secure and is destroyed upon submission approvals from publishing companies.


Now some rules from Apple: Book must be accurate, the content suggested by the title and art must be consistent with contents.  Book cannot be misleading as to its content.  Book must be complete, no missing chapters or references to items not contained within submission.
