Once you hire DHK Creations & Publications, LLC, we will give you daily updates on what we have completed that day. While every project can be unique and may look a little different, we will follow the same basic steps in the following order: STEP ONE: Create a First Look – deciding fonts and general layout, then formatting 2-5 chapters for your approval. Once you’re happy with the formatting, we will continue with the rest of the project. You can expect a First Look within a day of DHK getting your manuscript. STEP TWO: Interior File Formatting – After your first look, we continue to insert chapters into a print-ready file. The Formatting is divided into three phases: Initial Formatting, Run-Throughs, and FL/LL Comparison  Initial Formatting is when your formatter will manually transfer each and every chapter into a print-ready file. Basic formatting, such as headers or scene breaks, will be completed. This can take up to two days. Run-Throughs is the stage when your formatter will check each and every page, perfecting things like alignment, spacing, headers, footers, and anything else that require special attention. We do a series of 2-4 Run-Throughs. During this time, you will also receive a copy of your file and can complete a check should you choose to do so. FL/LL Comparison: This stands for “First Lines/Last Lines Comparison.” This process involves checking the first and last lines of each chapter of the print file against the first and last lines of each chapter of your original manuscript to make sure they match. We also check the numbering of chapters and add page numbers to the table of contents. STEP THREE: Book Cover Design/Formatting – If you already have a book cover designed, feel free to email it over. However, based on trim size, font licensing, or image licensing, we may need to adjust the book cover. STEP FOUR: Set Up Necessary Profiles/Accounts – While formatting, we will also work together to create you any necessary social media, publishing, or service accounts through an email we set up. You will have the password to that email and, once publishing is complete, you can go in and change that password. This email is where you receive royalty information and important publishing emails. Among the accounts we set up, based on your chosen package: ISBN Account, Publisher/Print Company Accounts, Social Media Accounts, etc. STEP FIVE: Purchase & Register ISBN – After formatting is complete and we know the book’s specifications, we will register your book’s ISBN(s) This process can take 24-48 Hours STEP SIX: Upload & Publish – We will schedule a zoom or send you the files for uploading. In addition, we will launch your book and announce you as an author! This process can take 24-72 Hours

Before you send us your manuscript, there are some things you can do to prepare it for formatting. This makes your manuscript easier to navigate and mitigates the risk of chapters/sections being overlooked. It also speeds up the formatting process. For full instructions, please review our publishing guide:

We want your book to be everything YOU dreamed of! That's why we created this FORMATTING SPECIFICATIONS FORM,(https://form.jotform.com/250766736143158) so you can easily share that dream!

If you notice mistakes that need to be corrected but they aren’t enough to require a reformat, your formatter will add them in for you. If <20 edits, there will be no charge. If there are >20 Edits, the price to add them is $5/10 edits.

If you decide to go with another publisher but some work has already been completed, you will receive a refund of the total price minus the percentage of work completed. For example, if the book is 30 chapters long, and 15 chapters have been formatted, you will receive a 50% refund.

We Don't Have Hidden Fees. The price of the work described in the above packages are are discussed and agreed upon upfront and before work ever begins. However, if there are circumstances where extra work needs to be done or a reformatting is requested, additional charges may incur - typically, the Miscellaneous Labor Charge. This is if there’s something that must be fixed in your book (not referring to typos or a few words changed), a fee of $20/Hour would be added. For example, you want us to correct multiple translations of scripture or adjust several passages of text due to legal/copyright reasons.
