We can help you communicate with the printer, navigate any issues that arise, and make any last-minute file adjustments.

The print decisions you make determine the quality of your final book projects—how well it looks, how much it cost to produce, how competitively it can be priced, how well buyers will respond to it, who will do order fulfillment, and more. We can help you understand your options.
