Cataloging data is a specialized language used by libraries to correctly and consistently catalog and shelve new books. (Look at the lower half of the copyright page of almost any book on your bookshelf and you'll find CIP data). Created by a professional librarian schooled in cataloging science, this adds to your book's professional look and feel.



Note that you can't make this block up yourself. The Library of Congress has created specific language and formatting requirements for this data.

Note: Your book will be legally copyrighted the moment it's published. As part of the setup fee, your copyright is secured under international law with the inclusion of your name and the © symbol on the copyright page.



But many authors go a step further and register their copyright with the Library of Congress. LOC registration has been viewed by the courts as prima facie evidence of ownership of intellectual property in the past. You might think of it as a form of insurance in case you ever have to defend your ownership of the material in court.

Every author receives a design unique to his or her book as part of the setup fee. If you have an image or photo that you want to use for your cover, we'll incorporate it into the design at no additional charge.

If you don't have a cover image in hand, we can help you acquire one, either by directing you to stock photo sites where there are millions of images available, or we'll find 2 images that will make a good cover for your book and let you choose between them. Once you've made your selection, we'll acquire the image for you.

We can also work with outside designers if you choose to have your cover designed elsewhere.

We'll create and format the index of your book based on the index tags you flagged in your Microsoft Word document. If you need an index and are not familiar with this function in Word, talk to your WingSpan Press service representative about your options.

 We'll format and position your book's footnote references. Note that all footnotes must be flagged using Word's footnote function.

$200.00

End notes appear all together at the end of the book. These are normally flagged using Word's endnote feature, but because they appear all together at the end of the book, they may just be typed text and do not require as much formatting as footnotes.

Once the print version of your book is complete, we'll create ebook and Kindle versions of it. The Kindle edition will be sold exclusively through Amazon. The ebook version is distributed through Ingram Book Group, the same company that distributes the print edition. That will make the ebook available through dozens of electronic retailers in a format readable by virtually all e-book readers - Nook, Apple iPad, Sony Reader, Adobe Digital Editions and more.

When people search for books on Google your book will be available for review, with links to major retailers for purchase. Buyers will be able to look at sample pages to get an idea what your book is about. Inclusion on Google also increases your internet exposure.

When you first sign up, we'll ask you to verify that you're submitting the final manuscript that you want to see in print before we begin layout. But sometimes, when you see the book in layout form, you find typos, or even things you wish you'd said differently the first time around. Call or e-mail your changes before approving your book for print. After that changes are made, we'll provide you another pdf proof for review.

Once layout and design of your book is complete, you'll receive a pdf version of it for review. Some people find it easier to review if they can see it as a printed book rather than viewing it on-screen or even printing it themselves. With this option, we'll print and send you a bound draft softcover copy of your book. The cost for setup and the first copy is $100. Additional copies of the same draft are $20 plus shipping.

Once your book has gone to print or has been published as an ebook, making changes requires that it be taken out of print and reassigned to a designer. Changes are made, then the manuscript or cover is sent back to you for review and approval. Upon approval, the book goes through quality control again and is uploaded and its internet catalog listing refreshed so that the new version appears to online retailers.

This process is expensive and time consuming, and is necessary for each published edition of your book. If you have both hardcover and softcover in print as well as an ebook, it has to be done for all 3 versions. The distributor charges us for this, and those costs are passed on to you. (for this service, Kindle and ebook are considered a single edition.)



Changes to a published book cost $200 plus $100 per edition. For example:

Softcover only: $300

Softcover and hardcover: $350

Softcover and Kindle/ebook: $350

Softcover, hardcover, and Kindle/ebook $400

If you require a new printed first copy of the revised book, or if your changes require more than 2 hour additional edit/design time, additional charges will apply.
