When you prepare to release an e-book, the major part of getting ready is the formatting work required. Formatting an e-book is a different process than formatting a book for print, because the formatting of an e-book does not focus as much on pages, as that information can change, depending on the device your reader uses to open the book.Of course, this formatting can be controlled and fine-tuned so your readers still receive a great reading experience that’s easy to use on electronic devices, simple to browse, and most important, easy on the eyes.

The trouble with e-book formatting is that the rules across different file formats intended for different e-readers can be confusing.

Even as a professional designer it can sometimes be confusing. Some of the formats have formatting hoops you must jump through, and rules that seem as if they were composed by a mongoose on cocaine and caffeine.

Many writers attempt to format their e-books on their own, and some succeed, but the results are not always as good as what could have been achieved with the aid of professional formatting services. It takes time and, in many cases, frustration to get your book formatting correct. Each time you test the file or upload it to your chosen distributor, you often discover things that need to be adjusted, which costs you valuable time and effort to correct before the book presents the best possible experience for your reader.

I’ve created my e-book formatting services to be affordable for the self-published author, while maintaining a high level of professionalism and quality seen in the electronic releases of large publishing companies. These services ensure your book is out there, competing with other books as quickly as possible.

Without professional formatting services, your book could be out there today, but it may not look as good as it could. And you probably already know that the competition is pretty heavy. The best way to stand out is being as close to perfection as possible. Good book covers, formatting and writing are all part of a package. Users see your cover to begin with, but you are really asking them to spend quality time with your words. Make sure those words look good on that e-book reader for them.

No matter how ingenious or fantastic your writing is, a reader isn’t going to struggle with poor formatting or missing features, such as navigation usually present on their Kindle or other e-reader. It’s important to present yourself in the best way possible, and professional formatting is the way to go.

For most e-book formatting jobs for text-only fiction works, I can deliver a fully functional and formatted work in less than 48 hours (many times, in under 24 hours).I’ve worked with e-book formats and formatted for Smashwords and Kindle with great success, and always want to make your book look fantastic. Contact me today to get started, and have a perfectly formatted book to show for it.

Let’s take a minute to put the importance of a book cover into perspective. You’ve heard it all your life as a writer, and likely before you considered yourself a writer: don’t judge a book by its cover. But, news flash.

People judge books by their covers.

It’s not fair, but it’s true. So, do something about it. Dress your book up in a great book cover. Get a book cover that’s going to address the problem and make your book stand out. That’s the point of any book cover. You want a reader to see it, and instantly feel some kind of interest toward your book.

Professional design services help self-published authors or small publishers reach the goal of a superb book cover that will properly represent a book on the shelf (or a website, if the cover is for an e-book). This is where most people groan and clutch their wallets like they’re are wrestling a full-grown man into a pink tutu, but I’m here to tell you that these profession book cover design services for print or e-books don’t have to cost a huge amount.

A good website can be a catalyst to great customer engagement. Professional web design helps you or your company present a professional, accessible image.

Think of it from your own point of view. Who are you more likely to do business with? A company with a telephone number and nothing else, or a company with a well-designed, professional website that provides a wealth of information in an easily-navigated manner?

Yeah, I thought so.

And trust me, you aren’t the only one out there that holds this view. A website allows your potential customers to read and research you on your own terms. The facts are, your service, business or product is probably already being talked about on the Internet, and if it is, there’s no guarantee that the information provided is accurate. Your website acts as the official go-to location to learn about you and your business.

Clients or customers likely want first-hand information about what you have to offer, and that’s why you want to have a professionally designed website waiting for them.

“Professionally designed” is the key. A bad website makes a worse first-impression than no website at all. That’s where most people needing a website get a dose of cold reality.

Professional web design can be expensive.

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. I feel that everyone that wants a professionally designed website should be able to have one — regardless of budget.

That’s why I will work with you to create the website you see in your mind, and do it at an affordable price.

I’m going to go off on a tangent for a moment and tell you that there’s a difference between “cheap” web design and “affordable” design services. I’m affordable. I’m not some shop that churns out hundreds of template based sites with no dynamic functionality and zero presentation.

For clients with a smaller budget, I will use templates, especially if we’re doing a site using WordPress, but never just a stand-alone template with no customization. No. With me, you’ll get a site 100 percent your own, and something you can be proud of.

With how easy I am to work with, there’s no excuse not to have a beautiful, functional website for you or your company. Of course, do your research, and decide on the perfect option for you, but don’t expect much from these companies you’ll find offering you a complete “unique design” for a ridiculously cheap price. What you’ll get is a template with your text thrown in, haphazard coding and an end-product that you’ll be sorely disappointed with.

With me, you’ll get a website you’ll love at an affordable, fair price. Contact me today to get started, or, if you need more convincing, look at my portfolio first.
