If you’re an author planning on independently publishing your book and you need assistance with technical or editorial, I can help. As a published author myself, I appreciate that every author has a unique vision for their book, and I would be honored to help you bring yours to life.
Book Design
My goal is to craft beautiful print and eBooks for discerning authors who want the best for their readers.
Editing and Proofreading
Reading a book filled with grammatical and typographical errors is frustrating. Solid spelling, correct punctuation and overall consistency are fundamental to creating a well-written work your readers will appreciate.
The Process
- https://www.kellylenihanbooks.com/book-services-quotation-request-form/Complete my quotation request form for the services you need.
- Please email your manuscript (so I can better discuss and estimate your book project—all manuscripts are kept strictly confidential)
- I will return a detailed quote outlining the plan for your book. This is the time to ask questions.
- Sample chapter options will be provided showing how your book will look. You will need to approve these samples.
- I will design/layout your book page by page, chapter by chapter, placing illustrations where necessary, following the agreed upon specifications and requirements.
- After completing the layout, I will send you a digital proof you can review and note any alterations, if needed.
- Once the final layout is approved, I will provide a print-ready PDF, ePub file (optional), and the master file in Adobe InDesign. You are now ready to publish!¹

¹ Book design services do not include ISBN, LCCN, or copyright registrations. Revisions requested by author after digital proof has been approved will be charged a fee.
² Layout/design fees may vary based on the complexity of the book. For example, a book with maps, charts, tables, illustrations, footnotes, etc. will be more than a text-only interior.
³ If custom cover art and/or illustrations are needed, the project cost will be significantly higher, depending on illustrator’s fees.
