The Adventures of Sammy the Sleeper: Sammy Saves the Day
Contributors: Warren Byrnes (Author), Steve Byrnes (Editor)
About the project
This ebook project consisted of editing, conversion to an enhanced ebook (audio media overlay) and distribution. After the editing phase was approved by the customer, we converted the final manuscript to a fixed layout ebook. It included quality illustrations supplied by the customer and media overlay integration of a professional voice recording that highlights text as it reads. We then distributed the ebook files to Amazon, Apple, Google and Kobo. It was great working with Steve and hope to hear from him in the future.
This book is no longer available for sale ...continue reading "The Adventures of Sammy the Sleeper: Sammy Saves the Day"

About the project
Julie brought her book to us as a Word Document. We started with an edit of the recipes before progressing with the ebook development. Once this was complete we used our Ebook Designer's Touch to design the interior, though we kept the book to Julie's specifications and kept her involved in every level of design. We also worked with Julie on the cover design, using an image she provided and making some updates to make it complete.
We converted the file from a word document to a reflowing ePub and Mobi file for all major vendors. ...continue reading "Julz’s Kitchen: A bit of this and a dash of that"

About the project
We edited this short book before applying our Ebook Designer’s Touch™. The Ebook Designer’s Touch™ attempted to invoke a professional yet approachable style, as the book is intended for young professionals just heading into their first professional arena.
Graeme intends to distribute this book himself on Amazon Kindle, so we converted the book into a mobi for him. After some tweaking to make sure it looked its best on as many devices as possible, the book was ready to hand over to Graeme. We wish him the best of luck. ...continue reading "The 30 Minute Practicum Guide for Young Undergraduates"

About the project
Prior to doing the conversion of this manuscript we first edited the customer supplied manuscript. Once approved, we then designed the front cover using a variation of stock photos and medical icons. The conversion process was reasonably straight forward; however we had to ensure some tables were correctly formatted to ensure they function correctly in all ebook formats and devices. ...continue reading "Clinical Travel Medicine"
Belonging: The story of how James became a Brown
Contributors: Anne M Brown (Author)
About the project
We proofread Anne’s manuscript before we converted it to epub and mobi. We designed the cover based on Anne’s brief then loaded it all to ebook vendors. It was a pleasure working with Anne and we hope she does well in the future.
About the book
James was desperately in need of a family. His life so far had been traumatic. Neglected and abused by his birth parents, separated from his brother and with a string of foster homes, institutional stays and a failed adoption, James had grown into an anti-social ten year old at war with the world. His social workers were beginning to wonder if they would ever be able to find a family for their damaged young charge.
The Brown family felt it was time to expand their family. For months they had participating in the preparation required for a permanent adoption placement. The social workers running the Special Needs Adoption Program pulled no punches. It was going to take a lot of skill, patience and flexibility to cope with one of their damaged children. The Brown family believed they were up to the challenge.

About the project
We did the edit on this manuscript and, once all edits were approved and tracked changes were accepted, it was then converted to reflowing epub and mobi from the Word document. We also designed the front cover.
About the book
In 1931, Dilys Elizabeth Jamieson Williams applied for candidature for admission to the ordained ministry of the the Australian Presbyterian Church, the first woman of that denomination to do so. Though her application was stalled, Williams’ competence in Christian theology flourished, outshining many ordained ministers, who, at that time, were overwhelmingly men. Through later studies at Glasgow University, Williams’ embrace of biblical Hebrew enabled her to enliven the Semitic underlay of Jesus’ sayings. Scoffed as eccentric and lovelorn for controversialist Samuel Angus, Williams’ penetrative insights and capacity for leadership were rarely appreciated in her lifetime. In elucidating fragments of Williams’ life and thought and contextualizing these, Williams’ vibrancy of faith, life, and intellect is compared to the open door described in the Revelation of John.

About the project
Harvey already had a published book in The Tiger Tea Club; however, the inside layout had been typeset by the printer so the pages were really just a Word document sized onto book sized paper. We proofread, typeset for print and altered the cover to fit the new dimensions. We applied print book design skills to the layout, introducing chapter graphics, a custom dinkus, appropriate margins and other aesthetic formatting features.
We then set up the new book file with Print on Demand and turned it into a reflowing ePub and Mobi file that was distributed through all the major channels. ...continue reading "The Tiger Tea Club"
The Miner’s Wife
Contributors: Melinda Hammond (Author)
About the project
Melinda came to us with a manuscript in Microsoft Word. We gave it a full overhaul—it was edited, designed for print (cover and interior) and converted to reflowing ePub and Mobi ebook files.
About the book
Glory is on a downward spiral to insanity. She is a mining wife in a mining town in the middle of nowhere, on a road fallen off the edge of the Nullabor, where dead men tell no lies.
Glory and the three men who love her—one is dead, one is silent, and the third is back to collect the gold he left behind. Jackson, Walt and Old Timer, three mates with greed in their hearts and lust in their eyes.
Glory, the woman who inspires them all, then betrays them one by one.
