Data Entry Service

$2.50 per page.To order this service, please call us at: call 1-888-795-4274.

Overview

As a leader in digital technology, Xlibris has developed a Data Entry service to assist authors who do not have their manuscripts in electronic format. The goal of the Data Entry process is to provide authors with a reliable, fast, and inexpensive service to convert their paper manuscript into a digital format.

This service is based on standard double-spaced manuscript.

Here’s how it works:

1. Submit a copy of your manuscript to Xlibris for Data Entry. Please do not make any handwritten edits or mark the manuscript in any way. You will have the opportunity to make all edits after the initial Data Entry has been completed.

2. Xlibris then performs the conversion from paper into a word processing file, reviews the material for data entry errors and does a spell check on entered data.

3. Xlibris then sends you a disk with the book saved as a .RTF (Rich Text Format) file and instructions for reviewing the material.

4. You carefully review the file against your original, and have the opportunity to make any final edits or changes to the book file.

5. You can then sign up for one of Xlibris’ Publishing Services (Basic, Professional, Custom) to have your book made available in electronic, trade paperback, and hardback formats.

Production Timeline:

6-10 weeks depending on the length of your manuscript.
