The whole sha-bang!
From cover to cover, brainstorming, sketches, revisions, full color, layout and text, there is so much story to tell! It would be an honor to bring your idea into reality.
Usually for good thought out concepts the minimum for such a project is three months. It can take longer, it could take less. Factors include complexity, the amount of projects in my schedule, and balancing life itself. However communication is key. The horror stories online where communication stops and dreams are shattered is heartbreaking. Things happen, concepts change, if you don’t like an idea speak up. This is a journey for both of us and the only way to achieve it is using our words and keeping in contact.
Brief & Contract
After the form is filled out, I will contact via phone or email (whichever is preferred) and finalize the project details before sending out a contract and deposit invoice.
Storyboard
There is a lot to go into this as we are building a book. We are creating an environment, characters and a mood. I will send progress emails regularly and revise where needed.
Rendering
This step, the step before this and after, are done simultaneously.
We can post the cover and a spread or two on social media to get critique and gain hype for when the book is released.
Formatting
Everything will be formatted using Adobe InDesign. Custom fonts are chosen and all the pieces fitted together.
JPEG PDF PNG INDD or EPUB formats
The end
(and yet, just the beginning)
Final files are sent once everything is approved and final payment is received.
Next step is bringing your book to the world!!!
