Author's Advantage Color

Author's Advantage Publishing Programs - Full Color - $699/$899

Complete design, layout and book publishing services for authors with full-color manuscripts

Ideally suited for children's book authors, the Full Color Author's Advantage Publishing Programs provide you with a variety of layout and design options for your full color book. To achieve the look and feel you envision, you'll take an active role in the design of your book. Determine which of the three formatting options - Traditional Picture Box, Classic Storyteller or Master Bookmaker - best suits your work and then choose an interior design template, cover background color and cover design template.

• Traditional Picture Box - $699
  Text appears on left pages, with full-color, full-page images on right-facing pages. Great for stories where pictures reveal additional details of your story.
• Classic Storyteller - $699
  Accommodating both small and full-size images, the Classic Storyteller format has text on both left and right pages and offers complete freedom of image placement.
• Master Bookmaker with Overlay - $899
  The Master Bookmaker option offers complete control of the layout of your book. You are encouraged to submit a mock-up of your book's interior and cover for us to duplicate. The Master Bookmaker allows overlaying of text on images, images that extend across the page, text wrapping and more specific placement of images and text. Your BookSurge Designer may choose to accent certain parts of your text giving the book a more unique look. This option allows for more hands-on control of your final product.

With the Full Color Author's Advantage Publishing Program, your finished book will be a beautifully formatted, trade paperback - with a minimum of 24 pages and a maximum of 250 pages. For an additional fee, you can upgrade your book to feature a hard cover version or consider one of our customized cover design or interior illustration options for even greater impact. For our full color trade paperback books, we offer the following trim size options:

• 5.25" width x 8" height
• 6" width x 9" height
• 7" width x 10" height
• 8.25." width x 8.25" height
• 8.25 width x 6" height

You may submit up to 50 full color images for inclusion in the interior of your book. For more information on properly preparing your images for inclusion in your book, see our Digital Image Guide. We offer flatbed scanning services if you would like us to create high resolution digital images from your hard copies. The following fees apply for this service:
