Our Publishing Services

Editorial Services

Editing is an important process that ensures your published book meets professional standards. Our evaluation process provides preliminary feedback on your manuscript. Depending on your editorial needs you can either select one editorial service or a combination of each.

Get a professional evaluation without committing to a full edit. The first 75 pages of your manuscript will be reveiwed with comments on the research, writing and overall clarity with a breakdown of services needed to improve the overal product. Cost $200

This process corrects grammer, spelling, punctuation and capitalization. In addition, correcting problems in logical flow, consistency, redundancy and factual content while making suggestions to help correct these issues. Cost $40 (per 1,000 words)

End-to-end professional proofreading of the print-ready manuscript, narrowly identifying grammer, punctuation, vocabulary and spelling errors which includes markups in PDF. Cost $20 (per 1,000 words) 

Encompassing the areas in copyediting and proofreading, a substantive edit also involves the following factors: the intended audience, the mauscripts structure and logic flow. With a more hands on approach, the editor may suggest re-wording unclear writing to improve flow and clarity by restructuring sentences, paragraphs and chapters where needed. Cost $100 (per 1,000 words) 

Interior Page Formatting and Design

Interior page design is the manner in which your text, illustrations, images etc are professionally placed in order to make your book a welcoming and enjoyable experience for your readers. How these elements are structured highly impacts the success of your book. Designing for print or eBook goes beyond setting the right margins and particular fonts. 

This interactive process between publisher and author, will enable us to provide an initial sample of ideas. Once a decision to move forward is agreed to, your book will be typeset to professional standards. 

Prices are set for black and white books of up to 50,000 words, any page size with up to 20 seperate layouts included (images, tables, sidebars, footnotes etc.) Additional layouts are $8 each. 

Prices include one free proofread. Additional proofread is $20 per 1,000 words.

eBook Formatting

eBook formatting is just as impactful as a book's interior page design and formatting. eBook formating ensures your eBook will display well on each reader's device. If your book has already been professionally typeset the prices are set as below, however the price will vary if your manuscript requires more work upon evaluation.

Book Cover Design

A book cover design is the first impression an author makes to his or her readers and potential audience. The images and title used can either attract or repel. With that said, finalizing the right cover design is an important decision for long term success.

Depending on your needs, whether starting from scratch with concepts in mind or on hand, whether your needs are geared towards a combination of an eBook and book cover design and whether your design concept is simple or more complex #KPNY is here to assist.
