Any questions that arise from experience with formats, difficulties with distributors, are expertly answered in the context of a particular book, which over time builds an applied knowledge base for your list and your books.

In the world of eBook creation, proper formatting can make or break the reader’s experience. Understanding which eBook format to choose will ensure consistent text flow, every element needs to work seamlessly across different devices and platforms. Common challenges include maintaining proper alignment, ensuring that multimedia elements function smoothly, and dealing with complex layouts such as charts or footnotes. DPS addresses these hurdles with expert precision, using hand-coded techniques and thorough quality checks to guarantee that your eBook looks professional and performs flawlessly on every e-reader.

The European Accessibility Act, set to take effect in 2025, introduces new challenges for eBook distribution, as it mandates that digital publications be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities. This means that publishers and authors will need to ensure their eBooks comply with stringent accessibility standards, covering features such as text-to-speech compatibility, flexible formatting, and navigable structures. Non-compliance could limit access to European markets, making it crucial for publishers to work with services like DPS, which prioritize accessibility from the start.

There are so many variables in the process, from ever-changing ePub standards to distributor practices. Doing eBook conversion inhouse means that you're paying for troubleshooting. With DPS, when an epub fails a test or a submission fails to meet a distributor standard, the troubleshooting is free, and the learning experience is permanent.

How to place a Book Composition order and what to expect:

Use your account to add the title, move it  and place an order. 
Choose "Universal Publishing Package" from the order form (see below.)

After the title has been created on the platform, use the "Upload Source Files" button on the Title View to open the folder associated with the title and upload the source files we will need to perform the composition work.  Essentially we need a copy-edited/final manuscript in unicode. This may take the form of a Word document + image files for interior or cover. Sample layouts and notes on style are welcome. If there is a house Style Sheet, please add it to this folder. 

If we have questions after reviewing the source files you provide, we will ask for clarification on the confirmation ticket thread. (Please continue to use the confirmation ticket as the communication channel for questions and change requests until the project is complete.)

For existing clients, if price or other delivery changes are required after the source files have been examined and/or special output requirements have been defined, we will provide any price revisions in the confirmation ticket thread.

For new clients or where prepayment is required, we will send an Invoice asking for payment in advance before initiating the final production process.
