This is the last step before the final printing of your child's manuscript. You have the option of obtaining what we call An Author's Copy. An Author's Copy is an actual copy of your child's book that is shipped to you via UPS Next Day Air. Each book order comes with a FREE PDF proof for your approval. This pdf proof comes with a water mark unless you are receiving files for an ebook. Once you have signed off on your manuscript indicating that you have reviewed the final draft and that you approve of it, we will ship you an actual hard copy of your book usually within 24 hours. Once you receive your hard copy, you are advised to review your book again. Usually when you see your manuscript in a book form, small errors that were missed before can easily be detected. We also recommend letting someone else read your book. The mind is a very intelligent part of your being. When YOU continue to read over your manuscript most likely you will miss the errors. Your eyes see the errors but your MIND quickly corrects the word causing you to overlook the error. Pre-copies are included in most of our packages, but if you choose a package that doesn't include the pre-copy, or you want to order an extra one, they run $45.00 each for printing and overnight delivery. Additional printed proofs may be more expensive, based on your book specifications.
Why do I need an Author's Copy?
It has been proven that mistakes in a manuscript can be easily picked out once it is in an actual copy of a book as opposed to checking for mistakes in a Word Document or PDF. We recommend that you obtain an Author's Copy so that you can review the contents right inside of the actual pages. Remember, once you sign off on your book, changes that are made AFTER the sign off will accrue additional charges.
