BixBooks assists independent authors in getting their books published. In many cases, authors have written a memoir with the intent of printing only a few copies for family and friends. Others may want to make their masterpiece available more widely, through brick and mortar bookstores and online booksellers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. We can facilitate both, at minimal cost.
Send us your manuscript, including any images (photos, graphics, illustrations, diagrams) you want to include in your book. We will:
-
Edit your spelling, punctuation and grammar, guided by the Chicago Manual of Style;
-
Create high resolution RGB bitmap or vector versions of your images;
-
Work with you on the design and layout of your book, including appropriate fonts, line spacing, page size, size and placement of images, cover type (paperback, hardcover, hardcover with dust jacket) and cover illustration;
-
Obtain an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) for your book;
-
Produce single proof copies, subject to revision until you are completely satisfied;
-
Upon approval of a final proof, order as many copies as you initially require, followed by any further orders on request.
-
Facilitate worldwide access to your book through online and traditional resellers, transferring 100% of royalties to you quarterly.
Testimonials
“… to Steve Mason at BixBooks, your support and guidance throughout the publication process have been invaluable. The beautiful work you’ve done to bring this book to life is a testament to your talent and passion for the written word.”
- Dr. Syl Corbett
“Steve Mason saved me from myself. I might still be dithering over every sentence, every punctuation mark, every chapter title, had he not offered to print one copy. ‘Just see what you think, Sandra, when the book is in your hands,’ he said gently…”
- Sandra Hayes Gardiner
“As time passed, and I got to the technical part of this desire to write my story, I quickly realized the incredible value of Steve Mason. Not only could he make what I had written look very professional and inviting, he had patience and a sense of humour about my rather amateur computer skills. Life is about ‘lifelong learning’!! Steve patiently helped me with this. Thank-you!”
- Linda Michel
