Children's Total Design Freedom (TDF) Publishing Program
You’ve carefully created and crafted characters and stories that children are sure to love. The Children's TDF Publishing Program is an ideal publishing option for authors of children's books, allowing you to work with the BookSurge design team to create a one-of-a-kind book that carries your unique theme throughout. Total Design Freedom provides you with a hands-on bookmaking experience, in which you’ll work with a team of professional designers to create a dynamic format for your book inside and out.
Included in this program, your book’s cover will be professionally designed using a combination of images, fonts, and colors to form an eye-catching cover your readers are sure to notice. Then, the BookSurge Design team collects your ideas, provides design counsel, and creates three rounds of proofs to create an interior format that will distinguish your book from all others.

Examples from Chauncey Cheese Goes Round the World by Vincent Maggio
Things to consider before signing up for TDF:
Available trim sizes for full-color books include 5.25”x8”, 6”x9”, 7”x10”, 8.25”x6”, or 8.25”x8.25” (measured in width by height)
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 30 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.
