Scribe’s Forge E-book Layout

You can throw your words up for automatic conversion if you wish from your word processor file but if you’re going to get your readers to come back to your next book, you want that first book to look professional. Kindle mobi format and Nook epub formats each have their own quirks and making a book both look good and be functional can take both expensive software AND an creative, experienced eye to achieve the look you want.

Scribe’s Forge now offers ebook layout services starting at $250 for a standard novel of up to 120,000 words with no more than one interior graphic. All art, including cover art, to be supplied by the author. Price may be higher depending on the complexity of the layout required. Email us with specifics of your project for a quote. If you accept our quote, then we will email to you payment information.

*Additional Costs? In order to set up your publishing business, you’ll need two things in place. These include web hosting services by Bluehost and a Paypal account. Your additional investment in order to set up this business will most likely be approximately $150 (USD) for the DL Guard server software that handles your download and access systems plus web hosting charges. And you only have to purchase DL Guard once — after that it will handle as many additional book projects as you care to write.

Make no mistake, this is a business that will take time and effort to grow … but if you follow the workshop instructions it can more than pay for itself AND the core software within a short few months and provide you with a growing income from your writing for many, many years to come.

Our website setup will take you step by step through setting up your own online publishing empire.
