Whether you're new to ePublishing and unfamiliar with its glitches and bugs, or you’re encountering problems (some are illustrated below) you'll be happy with the workarounds we use to provide a professional layout, which include a fully-functional table of contents, links to the authors' sales pages, etc., and internal links, if required (see below for examples).
Rates depend on the size and state of the Word document, inherent bugs, and the level of service required - from $18-65 in general (we can invoice in £GBP or Euros on request).
We don't have a 'one size fits all solution', we're proud to say.

stating your requirements and any problems you are encountering -- attach your Word .doc, .rtf or .htm to get a speedy appraisal.
The Kindle mobi file will be checked to work across all devices, including Fire, iPad, iPhone and Kindle for PC. Smashwords formats are a similar cost and are checked to pass their infamous ‘meatgrinder’ filter (and subsequent manual check) so they will qualify for ‘premium distribution’. Full refund in the unlikely event we can't deliver a clean layout (if you require substantive formatting). Please note that we no longer supply ePub files other than via Smashwords' meatgrinder doc format.
In your master document, all double-spaces, hanging paragraph spaces, tab spaces and naughty space-bar indents can be resolved.
We also provide a master file that is easy to manipulate in CreateSpace, Lulu and other publishing houses - we also handle interior design (typesetting) for these in Word doc format and convert to hi-res PDF format should you require this additional service.
Although we do insert inline images that you provide, for illustrations, tables and graphs, we do not produce the images - so the quality of resolution is for you to provide and ensure. We do not insert tables, nor do we text-wrap or place fancy stuff; our service is based on clear and simple document formatting that can be revised in the master .doc at a later date and reconverted easily and inexpensively.
We have been asked about appraisals - instead, here are links to some of our recent projects that you can visit on Amazon and "click to look inside"
