I originally signed up on the Penny Pincher Option for a book layout, while at the same time hiring someone else to set up another manuscript. When this other designer was finished, I had to point out all the little things I found that they had missed. No such problem with Walt. After that experience, I had Walt lay out another book and was again delighted with the results.

Now, I have a masterpiece that looks better than most I have seen on the bookstore shelves! I almost cried tears of joy when I saw the finished product!

Five Rainbows coached my literary work from a raw manuscript to a greatly improved, beautifully typeset novel ready for publication.

Working on a tight budget? Just can't afford $800 or more for a fully customized interior design and typesetting? Consider our Template Layout Option, which is well-suited to books that are all text with no photographs, graphics, tables, endnotes, footnotes, or other special formating requirements.

For books of up to 50,000 words, we charge only $395; for longer books up to 100,000 words, we charge only $495. For books over 100,000 words, ask for a quote. For this option, we will select one of our standard layout templates to create a professionally typeset interior for your book.

We can place your graphics or photos in the text for $15 per graphic/photo (if we have to scan your image, that's an additional $10 per scan). You must be able to deliver all images at a minimum of 300 dpi at the size you want the image printed (e.g., for an image to print at 2" x 3" in the book, we need an image that is a minimum of 600 pixels x 900 pixels). If your book requires photos or graphics and you do not understand these requirements, please contact us before completing the form below.

You will receive a PDF file of your book's interior ready for the printer. If you find errors caused by our typesetting, we will correct them at no charge. Any editorial changes you require (not due to our error) will be corrected at our standard flat hourly rate of $50 (billed in 15-minute increments). We can normally deliver the printer-ready file within four weeks of receipt of the initial 50% payment, although we may require more time depending on our current workload.

If you need faster service, please ask us first as we can often expedite the process for an extra charge (how much extra depends both on how soon you need it and on our workload).
