Agents of Literary Change

After you've written your novel, re-worked your poetry or decided to tell the world 'How To' on a given subject, there are a few things you need to do. One of the most important things after the editing is complete and the cover is designed is to determine how the content will appear. This process is called pagination.

You want the reader to feel comfortable with your book. Your published work is an extension of you. Therefore, you want to make the best impression possible.

Have you ever picked up a book to read and found it difficult because the type face was too small or an unattractive font? How about the absence of a clear delineation of the chapters, or the page numbering was placed inward on the page instead of outward? Then there are photos or graphics throughout the book that are poor quality.

ARE YOU SELF-PUBLISHING YOUR BOOK? A properly paginated book works best when the layout adheres to the requirements of the print vendor. The popular Print On Demand (POD) services are a good example.

Following industry standards for the title page, copyright and publishing information, table of contents (when needed), acknowledgment and dedication pages, content text, indexes and bibliographies, a'Kihoro SPIRITUAL CREATIONS has offered manuscript pagination to authors for more than 10 years. Clients include authors of poetry, spiritual growth workbooks, historical biography, scientific research, and novels.

I guess none of you people have ever lost a court case! Do you realize that winning a court case has nothing to do with being wrong or right?
