We invite you to submit your first 20 pages of your work in any genre, including memoir for an assessment.

    Conversion to eBook
    On Request

    There are multiple advertisements for Ebook conversions starting as low as $75. Those conversions usually amount to a point and click operation on behalf of the vendor.

    Your most lucrative market may very well be digital, so great care must be given to designing your Ebook, and a cover that may appear the size of a postage stamp.  Your book will appear on multiple venues and devices; what looks perfect on one device may look cut-and-paste on another.  We experiment and come up with the best compromise that looks professional on the broadest assortment of devices. We can give a firm price for Ebook conversion once we have formatted your manuscript in hard copy. 

    You can expect to pay in the vicinity of $350 to have us tailor your manuscript for this exciting market.

    If you opt for the Manuscript Review first, we’ll deduct half of what you have paid up to $300 on your first block of time. So, for example if you have paid $500 to read a 200 page manuscript, your first block of time will be $1500 less $250: $1250)
