Can you format illustrated books?

Yes, we can create the interior design for any illustrated book.  The type of illustrated book will determine the process, however.  If you are looking to have a print or eBook formatted where it is simple body text with an illustration inserted here and there, then you would be expected to pay the regular formatting rate plus a fee for manipulating and placing each image – the rate for this service is clearly displayed within each of our forms pertaining to formatting.  If, however, your book is fully illustrated (for example, a children’s book where every page is an image and text is overlayed) then there is a separate fee structure for this.  It also impacts on the type of eBook are you able to use – almost all eBooks use reflowable text where the reader can adjust the size of the typeface (and, in some cases, even the typeface being used) to suit their own preferences.  When you have a fully illustrated book, however, you can’t have reflowable text.  Every page has to be created in a static format to ensure the reader isn’t able to manipulate the text and obscure the image or affect the aesthetics of the book.  If you require a fully illustrated book, please select the “Non-Reflowable Formatting” option when completing the form as there will be a per-page fee for taking care of this sort of in-depth and time-consuming interior design.
