Proofreading
You wouldn’t sell buy a brand new car with scratches on the paintwork, or a pair of shoes with scuffs on the toes. Likewise, you wouldn’t want your readers to buy a book that contains typos, inconsistent or erroneous punctuation, words out of place on the page, or formatting that jars the eye. Proofreading is not a nice to have, it is an essential part of the process of publishing a book.
Publishing Assistance
Navigating the world of self-publishing can be tricky and overwhelming. Lines and Curves Literary can assist step-by-step through the process of formatting your book ready for printed or
e-book publication. We can offer excellent industry insight into the necessary pre-publishing particulars and guidance on choosing the best platforms for self-publication.
N.B. Lines and Curves Literary is not a publishing house, nor are we a self-publishing platform or investment based vanity publishers.
Book Cover Design
Anyone who says “never judge a book by its cover” is probably not actually talking about books.
In truth, a good cover makes a world of difference. Especially in a market saturated with bland AI rendered imagery and generic templates. The best thing, if you choose to have a cover made for you by a real, experienced and qualified human illustrator, is that you know you are getting something truly unique. And isn’t that what it’s all about? Your book is unique, so why not commission a unique cover to highlight its uniqueness? As part of my conscientious and affordable book design package, I will work closely with you to create the best possible cover, which represents the key points, characters, themes or moods from your story. Let your work stand out with a bespoke piece of human made art.
