How it works

1. Choose from one of Xlibris' interior templates to achieve the overall look that you feel is best for your book. You may also submit as many images and tables as you like as part of the package. Xlibris will reproduce these images in black and white and place them in the text. The title page can be manipulated to match your cover's font and word-placement.

2. Choose one of Xlibris' cover templates, fonts, and color schemes as a guideline for our designers, include your customization options for the interior template. You may supply images of your own to place on the cover electronically or as hard copies for Xlibris to scan. You may also supply an author photo electronically or as a hard copy.

3. Read the Premium service instructions and complete the accompanying order form to submit your manuscript.

4. Xlibris creates your book's electronic layout and cover design files and sends these to you via e-mail. You may also request a printed galley and cover proof as part of the package.

5. You review your book's electronic layout and cover proofs in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. If Xlibris has made any errors in the layout, you submit the changes online, by mail, or by fax. Author Alterations is included as part of the Premium service.

6. After your corrections have been made, Xlibris will re-send your proofs for you to review. If Xlibris has failed to make any of the corrections you requested, simply contact us and we will correct the error.

7. Once approved, Xlibris makes your book available for sale in high-quality paperback and hardback format.
