Traditional Books

“In order to write a book, it is necessary to sit down and write. Therein lies the difficulty.” —Edward Abbey

While the publishing world is changing, traditional books will always be prized. There’s just something special about the heft and pleasure of an authentic book. From editing to book design, including one-on-one assistance, NorthWord will transform your manuscript into a beautiful hardcover or paperback.

Book design

Writing and graphic design require different skill sets and creating a professionally designed book can be overwhelming. NorthWord graphic designers will turn your manuscript into a stunning hardcover or paperback. They understand the nuances of how color, spacing, content, and word count affect your message and they’ll work with you to ensure your book is all that you imagine.

Consultation

Most writers require at least some assistance in the publishing business. We’ll walk you through the publication process, including assistance with ISBN and bar codes, ensuring proper order of your front and back matter, and making sure that your publication files are print ready. NorthWord offers consultation packages and assistance based on an hourly rate.
