Description
Experience Level: Entry
Hello
I am an artist/writer/performer.
I am looking for someone who has experience in book layout and formatting for print on demand.
I am currently looking at doing this via either Lulu or Lightning Source or Lightning Press - so am looking for someone who has experience of layout and formatting for Lulu and possibly the other too first.
In the first instance, I will set up some a book without ISBN for a dummy run on Lulu - and this is what I need help with, as I don't have technical skills.
I will provide 14 scanned drawings for the inside of the book and the text on a word document which is divided up for 14 pages. These are pages 4 to 31.
I will also be asking for the formatting of pages 1,2,3 and 32 - which will be mostly writing, but possibly an image (provided by me on page 1 and page 3).
I will ask for formatting of the front cover: image and words and the back (author photograph and words)
The drawings may need to be resized - the book size I am going for is 5.5 x 8.5 (I think this is the trim size) - the drawings may need to be reduced slightly or blurred on the edges because of the way they have been drawn. I drew them with the idea that they would appear on the page with a black border around them, but am now open to their floating in the page fading into a white border.
I am open to someone working remotely, but also interested in hearing from London based freelancers as it may be easier to speak to clarify the brief - although that could be done by Skype as well.
Time wise - I would like to do this soon - it seems more likely that I may go via Lulu which means I will set up and publish a few "dummies' without an ISBN number at first.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for reading this brief and I look forward to hearing from you.
best wishes
