I think it's important to give an indication of the rough cost of designing a book – but of course every project is different so please don't hesitate to email me for a quote tailored to your project.

PACKAGES
Ebook Conversion
(from a book I've designed)
£150-200 for plain text books and books with a few images. I will provide a reflowable EPub ready for upload, complete with hyperlinks, interactive table of contents etc.
Books with lots of images and/or graphs/diagrams can be more complex to prepare – please contact me for an accurate quote.
For coffee table books and cookbooks, fixed layout EPubs are a more appropriate format – please contact me for an accurate rate.
Design packages
For projects where I design both the cover and internals I can provide a 10% discount on the project.
