Services

While many processes come into play in the design and creation of printed books, our services can be organized into four general categories:

Book Design

To communicate effectively, clear content is only part of the effort. You can help your readers and yourself by making sure your message gets across with maximum impact.

In every genre, from fiction to physics, readers deserve to have clear and and easy access to the author’s material. Knowing how to handle the many styles and formats called for in nonfiction books is part of our design experience at Marin Bookworks.

Please take a look at our samples to see examples of book interiors and covers we’ve designed.

Book Production

Your book must be properly conceived to use printing technologies efficiently.

Proper trim sizes, cover treatments, handling of illustrations, page lengths and more all have an impact on the overall design when your book is being prepared for publication. This is true whether you are using offset printing, digital printing for print-on-demand distribution, or downloadable e books. We’ll help you to get the production you want.

Editing

We provide complete editing services from developmental editing to help shape your book, to copyediting to make sure your book is consistent, effective, and error-free.

Ancillary Services

Your book may need illustrations, an index, or a top notch proofreader. Through our network of publishing professionals, we supply one-stop shopping to save you the time and expense of recruiting all these services for your book.
