#TYPESETTING WIDOWS AND ORPHANS FULL#
In establishing the author’s preferences, the typesetter will post or e-mail an example of chapter beginnings and internal layout to ascertain the chosen styling this is not the full manuscript but a small portion. Once format and style has been established, the typesetter will set to work re-formatting the original manuscript into a useable document for future printing processes.During this initial meet and greet, the typesetter will ascertain the author’s preferences for the process the timeline in which they are expecting the completion of work and any other questions either party feels needs to be tackled before beginning. Once the deposit has been received and agreement signed, the typesetter will be in direct contact with the author either by phone or e-mail depending on geography.
A 50% deposit is paid directly to Shadow Ink Press before any commencement of work as well as a ‘Standard Agreement’ which outlines what will and won’t be provided along with guidelines for the author to follow.This is no easy feat and can be incredibly time consuming however, Shadow Ink Press works closely with the author to ensure that the internal pages of their creative novel are realised into book actuality.The stages of typesetting are as follows: This means that the pages and pages of text you’ve created as the author has to be condensed and correctly formatted to adapt to this new, book-like finish. Sadly, all the hard work is for naught if the manuscript itself is not edited and then formatted correctly into your chosen style and size of novel.Īt Shadow Ink Press we like to use standardised sizing (approximately 5.5” x 8.5”) for overall, finished book dimensions. It all seems so simple tapping away at a keyboard while free-flowing words of the next big manuscript compel your fingers to move with expert strokes. Typesetting really is the heart of any good novel.
