How it Works: An Outline of the Process

1. No, ebook only. You’ll be ordering an ebook only at this point in time. We will finalize and deliver the ebook JPGs within 1-2 business days.* (Note: You can order a print layout at a later date, however you will not receive the bundle discount.)
2. Yes, and final details are ready now. With this option, we will need you to submit the final print details at your earliest convenience via this form. Once we receive those details, we will be able to finalize both ebook/front cover and the print-layout PDF within 1-2 business days.*
3. Yes, but final print details are still pending. With this option, we will prioritize the ebook/front cover design now, and simply save the print layout for later. This means you do not need to provide any print details now and we can still deliver the ebook/front cover in 1-2 business days.* Then at a later date (when you’ve finished writing/editing and have all of the final print layout information), you will submit the final print details via this form. Once we have that information, we’ll finalize and export the final print PDF in 1-2 business days.

*Unless you ordered proofs as well, then we will begin the proofing process within 1-2 business days. Please learn more about proofing options below.

1. No proofs necessary, just finalize the files. Ordering without proofs is:
   • Simpler. There are no extra steps in the ordering process. Just enter the required information to place to order and receive the final files quickly.
   • Faster. With this option, we can achieve a much faster turn-around time on your order. We’re able to finalize and deliver the final files in 1-2 business days. (Unless we have a follow-up question, but we’ll still deliver the files asap).
   • More economical. Without the proofing process, we’re able to fulfill your order more efficiently and can pass that savings on to you!
   • However, you will not have an opportunity to preview or approve the design. The design will be updated and finalized with the details you provide without an opportunity for changes.
2. Yes, I’d like to see proofs Ordering with proofs is:
   • More customizable. You can review and request changes to the design before we finalize the files. We especially recommend ordering proofs if you’re requesting revisions to the premade design–see ‘Optional Revisions’ in Step One above. Please note: Up to 2 proofs are included. Some requested changes may require additional cost, please read over the Optional Revisions page carefully if this is a concern. If additional proofs are required (which is rare), additional cost will be involved. (If additional charges are incurred during the proofing process, they will be billed separately and must be paid before final files are released).
   • Special note about ebook + print bundle orders: If you order a print layout and your final print details are still pending, we will proof the ebook/front cover only. Then when you send us the final print details, we will finalize the print PDF without returning to the proofing process. On the other hand, if you order proofs and your final print details are ready to submit, we will be able to proof both the ebook and print layout simultaneously, which will give you the opportunity to proof the entire design together. Up to 2 rounds of proofs (for a single format/design) are included if revisions are requested.

If the final print details are still pending, please submit the Premade Final Print form when you have the final details. After we receive that info, we’ll update the print layout, export the PDF according to the submitted details and deliver the print-PDF in 2-3 business days.**
