There are a number of reasons why you may not have an electronic version of your manuscript. Perhaps you wrote your book without access to a word processor, or are technophobic. Alternatively, you may have hand written the book. Or perhaps you only have a previously printed or typed copy of the manuscript, the electronic file having gone missing years ago. Maybe you even wrote your book by speaking into a Dictaphone, or only have your author’s copy of a previously published work that you wish to reprint or republish.
Whatever the reason, we can convert your manuscript into an electronic word processing file and pre-press ready PDF file, including automatic spelling & grammar checking, pagination with standard margins and page numbering.
Our copy and audio typists can take your manuscript or tape and input it quickly and at very low cost. Applicable fees will be charged based on your estimate of the word count, and a final invoice calculated on the actual word count of the document. Any overpayment is refunded to you upon completion of the task. This is a standalone service and does not obligate you or Carmine Press to any further contract or undertaking.
Fees start from £5 per 1000 words, assuming your manuscript is already clearly typewritten. Handwritten and audio tape manuscripts, and copy typing from a book will be more expensive. For a no obligation quote for your manuscript, please contact us.
