Total Design Freedom Program

Total Design Freedom (TDF) Publishing Program

The Total Design Freedom publishing program from BookSurge was designed to offer authors high levels of customization. When working with the BookSurge team of designers in our distinctly hands-on book making process, your ideas and vision for your book are gathered through sessions with our design team and incorporated to produce a high-quality one-of-a-kind book that reflects your book’s key messages. When your book is customized, you guarantee users that reading your book will be an experience like no other.

Creating a unique interior book format is second only to encasing your book in an eye-catching custom-created cover. Using unique combinations of images, photography, color, fonts, and line art, BookSurge designers create striking covers that readers are certain to notice.

Included in our Total Design Freedom Program:

• Unique Custom Cover Design
• Custom Interior Book Formatting
• ISBN Assignment and Barcode Placement
• Inclusion of Up to 10 Images in Your Book's Interior
• 10 Paperback Copies of Your Book
• Online Listings with Leading Retail and Wholesale Booksellers

Things to consider before signing up for TDF:

• If you have specific ideas about the design and layout of your book, please note that our design team can pattern your layout on examples provided to us, but we will not replicate the layout of another document – neither your formatted manuscript nor any other book.
• Additional images over the 10 image allotment may be included for a fee of $15 per image. A fee of $25 applies to the inclusion of each chart, table or graph.
• Once the design process begins, we will make up to 100 editorial corrections (the first 50 are free). If you need to request more corrections, you will be required to resubmit your manuscript.
• If major design changes are necessary to your Phase 1 proof, our design team will provide up to 2 additional Phase 1 proofs. Should you require more than three Phase 1 proofs, extra costs apply.
• The importance of submitting a manuscript that is comprehensively edited and proofread cannot be stressed enough.  It is the best way to keep your costs down and shorten your timelines.
• Expedited service is not offered in the Total Design Freedom publishing program.
