FAQs

  • I require a couple of months notice to secure your spot in my schedule, but feel free to get in touch in case I have availability sooner!

  • From starting our work together to receiving the final book files, it can take about 4 to 7 weeks (this already includes the time between the different rounds of feedback). The duration will depend on the size of your book and if we are also working together on the cover design and proofreading stages.

  • I am currently based in Portugal (same time zone as London). All email response times are Monday–Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Calls can be scheduled with a 12-hour notice during office hours, and dependent on my availability.

  • Yes, most of my clients are US-based, and I have worked with people in the UK, Germany, France, Portugal, Switzerland, and Australia, too. I speak three languages, have experience working on multilingual projects, and can typeset books in multiple idioms.

  • I use Adobe InDesign to typeset books. It is a publishing and page layout designing software application. InDesign provides access to a catalog with many fonts that are licensed for embedding in PDFs and can be used in printed books.

    For eBooks, I use InDesign to build the structure of the book. Afterward, I switch to Sigil (a multi-platform EPUB ebook editor), which allows me to access the HTML/CSS code to tweak it as needed.

    You won’t need to use any of this software to handle the book files. I deliver print-ready PDF files for the paperback/hardcover versions and a reflowable EPUB for the eBook—all files according to your publishing platform’s specs.

  • My package rates start at €255 (EUR).

    You can find all info on my packages here. Do not hesitate to get in touch for a custom quote if what you are looking for doesn’t fit into a package!

  • I require a 50% deposit to secure your spot in my schedule. Please find information on my payment policy on the Terms & Conditions page here.

  • There is no VAT to pay on top of my rates—this is a benefit of hiring a freelancer rather than a company. There are also no extra processing fees for online payments.

    You will pay the amount stated on the quote/invoice with no added fees.

  • Please contact me to explain your situation and ask about payment plans. Alternatively, I can always recommend some of my colleagues who will be a better fit for your budget.

  • The manuscript should be reviewed by an editor prior to it being formatted. The only revisions we will be doing at this stage are correcting small errors and inconsistencies in the text—this is the last opportunity to catch typos you and your editor(s) missed.

    For this reason, only one round of revisions is included during our work together—it occurs after I typeset the entire book. It is intended for correcting errors in a “proof” version of a book in its final form. This review will be done by you and/or a proofreader on a PDF file (instructions on how to do this are provided).

    After receiving the final files, you are still entitled to revisions; however, these include corrections up to 10 small amends per 100 pages. Any substantial changes to the book will require a new quote.
