About the Project
The Inveiglement series project started out with three print cover designs for each book in the trilogy. Abrams & Elliott came to us with a clear brief about how they wanted their books to look. They were inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey and chose to print their books at a larger paperback size for impact.

With the covers designed we moved on to the print layout of book one. At this time the text for book two and three is still being written and edited. Again, like the covers, Abrams & Elliott were able to tell us exactly how they wanted their books to look, particularly in using a san serif font that switched between bold and regular type depending on the character. They also had an infinity symbol to separate the type, and a version of their logo as a text separator.

Project Information
Petra approached us about publishing her book, and not long after we received her manuscript ready to be converted into an ebook. We designed the cover, converted it to both epub and mobi formats, then loaded it to all major vendors. The customer was happy with the final result and it was a pleasure working with Petra. ...continue reading "Life Journeys"

About the project
Myra and the Magic Motorcycle is Amanda Greenslade's, the director of Australian eBook Publisher, debut children's book. After the book was written Amanda coordinated the editing and the illustrations, which were done digitally by Glen Holman.

Amanda then arranged audio narration recording, purchased sound effects, did the printed book design layout, designed the cover, designed the non-enhanced and enhanced ebook editions and coordinated publishing. Amanda and the team at are currently still working on the marketing for Myra, on a shoestring budget.

Unlike most children's books that are designed for print and then the ebook edition may not work very well at e-reader or tablet size, we started with the iPad dimensions in mind. We asked ourselves what was the best way to present a children's book on the iPad. We later made the print edition.

For more on these ebook design decisions, you may be interested in the video recorded by Amanda here.

Some time after the original release of the book, we worked on an audiobook version of Myra and the Magic Motorcycle. The audiobook was narrated by Kelly Stroud and Caitlin Stroud. Once the files met Audible specifications, it was released for sale.

About the project
This project was a fun one to work on. Rob had loads of family pictures (over a hundred) from his travels with his wife around the globe. We designed the print layout of Rob’s book using the supplied text and images. We made some adjustments to the photos to make sure they appeared to the best effect in the book. Once we had the layout and Rob was happy we moved onto the cover. We used another of Rob’s travel photos, and his blurb, to create the print cover. Once we were all happy with the print layout and the cover we sent it to print-on-demand to be printed in full colour. Rob ordered some copies for himself that arrived just before Christmas and was happy with the result.

wayenbergm-bbm-innerwayenbergm-bbm-inner1Contributors: Marjolyn Wayenberg (Author)

About the project
After proofreading Marjolyn’s three books (one fiction, two non-fiction), we converted them from Word documents to epub and mobi files. There were some images and tables in the non-fiction books, so care was taken in keeping uniformity of size and quality of these images. We designed the covers in consultation with the author and are very pleased with the results.

In November/December 2014 our marketing team also ran a small campaign to promote the three books. This included:

  • ebook meta-data analysis for enhancing ebook sales
  • drafting a marketing plan
  • arranging a small no. of reviews and ads
  • designing and hosting the author’s website
  • Facebook, Goodreads and Shelfari author pages and management

About the book
Marjolyn Wayenberg, nee Terlaak, was born in the East Indies, now known as Indonesia. Her husband Robert was also born there.

Being from Dutch background, Marjolyn learned to speak English at the age of twelve and became a teacher.

While teaching and having four children, she went on to learn many healing modalities on a part-time basis.

She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1994. Over the next decade, it became increasingly difficult to manage. It became so bad that she wished she could die until…

Marjolyn realised as time went on that the predictions her mother-in-law had made a decade earlier were starting to come to fruition. The last one being: ‘Your legs will be all right.’

Read about her journey towards healing.

About the book
As we pray, in our desperation we often ask for ‘salvation’ or a ‘miracle’ to be delivered from hardships and trials. Remember, we are part of God, and He wants us to trust that we are His, made in his image, have inherited God’s qualities and are powerful.

Rather than ask for a miracle, BE THE MIRACLE.

Continuing on from Read the Signs, this book reveals more of the story behind MarjolynWayenberg and her battle with MS. Read how her positive outlook and knowledge of spiritual healing is enabling her to cope with multiple sclerosis.

She has even tried the controversial “Bee Treatment”, allowing bees to sting her, which returned sensitivity to parts of her body that had become numb.

Marjolyn holds nothing back in her candid account of how MS has affected her body and her life. The reality may be harsh but the truth of healing will be an inspiration to you.

This was a long creative process, but it was well worth the effort. Elaine had Love, Justice (the second book in her Beautiful Lives series) professionally edited before she handed the manuscript to us. We designed the book for print, including the cover, based on her previous book’s design. After the print layout was finished we converted the book to reflowing epub and mobi. We also coordinated the offset printing of 500 copies as well as aggregating the ebook to vendors.

About the book

Justice sees the injustice in the world and gets frustrated that she can’t do anything significant about it. She has a sponsor child in Rwanda, but she wants to do so much more.

World peace, an end to end poverty and justice for all become her goals, especially after she meets Seth, the charismatic boy with dreadlocks and sea-green eyes at a peace rally.

Just when she is figuring things out and becoming involved in the peace movement, her father returns. He brings Emily with him, a young woman who is now supposed to become a part of their family.

Dad assumes they will accept Emily, but has no concept of the emotions this will stir up.

Sometimes life isn’t fair, but we have to find a way to do the right thing.

About the project
Harvey already had a published book in The Tiger Tea Club; however, the inside layout had been typeset by the printer so the pages were really just a Word document sized onto book sized paper. We proofread, typeset for print and altered the cover to fit the new dimensions. We applied print book design skills to the layout, introducing chapter graphics, a custom dinkus, appropriate margins and other aesthetic formatting features.

We then set up the new book file with Print on Demand and turned it into a reflowing ePub and Mobi file that was distributed through all the major channels. ...continue reading "The Tiger Tea Club"

About the project
Melinda came to us with a manuscript in Microsoft Word. We gave it a full overhaul—it was edited, designed for print (cover and interior) and converted to reflowing ePub and Mobi ebook files.

About the book
Glory is on a downward spiral to insanity. She is a mining wife in a mining town in the middle of nowhere, on a road fallen off the edge of the Nullabor, where dead men tell no lies.

Glory and the three men who love her—one is dead, one is silent, and the third is back to collect the gold he left behind. Jackson, Walt and Old Timer, three mates with greed in their hearts and lust in their eyes.

Glory, the woman who inspires them all, then betrays them one by one.
