Illustrations: How to prepare for your illustrator

If you have never worked with an illustrator before, it can be intimidating. Green Hill Publishing has developed a document to guide you on your path to illustration, find it here: Author’s Illustration Guide.

Indexing

Indexing can be an extremely time-consuming task during the publishing process. If our team here at Green Hill have to put together your index list from scratch, there is a potential for human error as page numbers are often altered throughout the design process. However, if you follow the simple steps in this document here: Author Indexing Guide, we can make an index list with accuracy.

Editing: Need your book edited?

Find a link here to our page all about Green Hill Publishing Editing Services.

Editing: Accepting and rejecting track changes

Our editors, here at Green Hill, use the track-changes tool to edit any manuscripts in Microsoft Word. It is then the job of the author to accept or reject the changes that the editor has made. A document explaining how to do this is available Author’s Guide to Finalising your Manuscript.

eBook: Types of eBooks

Reflowable: This is a conversion suitable for novels and text rich books. You can change fonts, styles and sizes on eReaders. This means that the text will re-wrap to the next line or page to make the book flow.

Fixed Format: This is suitable for cookbooks, children’s books and graphically formatted books. This will be a direct reproduction of each page and will look exactly like the InDesign file.

This will include:
  • EPUB: this is a file type that suits all Android devices and eReaders, such as Kobo, Nook, iPad, and Android, but excludes Kindle.
  • MOBI/KF8: this is a file for Kindle.
  • troubleshooting and performance guarantee on 30 of the most used eReaders.

Printing and Marketing your book

As a self-published author, it is imperative that you find a way to market your book to the public. Green Hill Publishing has put together a document that explains one option of how to do so, which is available here: Author’s Guide to Independently Printing and Marketing.

Green Hill Publishing also offers a complimentary authors web page from which you can sell your book or connect it to your own personal website. You can see these web pages here at: https://australianauthorsstore.com/.

Green Hill Publishing also offers to create personal websites with hosting as an option. This is something that you would request and be quoted for on an individual basis.
