Services
Authors and publishers are faced with many complex and time-consuming tasks to get their book (print or digital) ready for distribution. While it is possible to seek out a number of freelancers to cover a variety of different tasks - managing different freelancers can be costly, time-consuming, and challenging. That's where Westchester comes in. With our decades of experience, we can be your partner to get your manuscript ready for IngramSpark. Whether you just need production services, editorial or a customized author concierge suite of services - we have the plan for you. Explore how we can help you below.
How to Get Started
We've organized the most requested services into 4 distinct plans for you. If you have a fairly completed manuscript, have your word count handy and you can get an estimated fee for our Production or Editorial and Production Plans right online.
If all you need are resources to typeset, create an ePub, and maybe design a cover for you – the Production Service Plan is a good place to start. This plan is ideal for all genres.
If you feel that you need editorial support in addition to typesetting – select the Editorial and Production Plan. This plan is well-suited for non-fiction, academic, scholarly, business and legal type publications.
If however, you're looking for something more than that – perhaps a Book Coach, or a more customized development and marketing plan, explore our Exclusive Author Concierge Service for high touch expertise and guidance.
Service Plans
Production
Our expert compositor & design team will layout your manuscript based on your choice of more than 40+ interior design options. You will receive print-ready and eBook digital files, available to upload to IngramSpark. Optional cover design and production services are available for all book genres.
Editorial & Production
For authors who would like some additional editorial support, our editorial team will review your manuscript, review art files, and perform copyediting and fact-checking. Proof-reading, cold-read, and cover design are available as add-on services. This also includes Production services. Ideal for all book genres.
Exclusive Author Concierge
Our high-touch Exclusive Author Concierge service starts with a Strategic Roadmap that gives you a step-by-step guide for your project. This Strategic Roadmap will be developed after a Discovery Call with one of our Creative Directors, where they will learn about your project's goals and intentions. The Strategic Roadmap will be uniquely customized for you, and will include stages, steps, and services for a comprehensive plan to bring your book to life and into the hands of your targeted audience.
Interested in Cover Design?
A great cover design is key for every author, no matter the genre of their book. Our experienced designers have been creating covers for trade, non-fiction, academic and other content types for publishers and authors for decades. You can add this service on to any package or supply your own. Cover design is only available with a service package and is not sold as a stand-alone item.
