Hawke Media Services - Layout Services

Now, you can have the marketing advantage with professionally formatted ebooks at affordable prices. While your competitors offer ebooks that look as if they were typed on a typewriter with no layout or professional text formatting, you can have an ebook with text formatting and layout by a professional desktop publisher.

Our clients have found a marketing edge with professional-looking ebooks that have cover graphics coordinated with the inside page layouts, as well as stock photos appropriate to the subject matter. Their ebook users believe they have received more value for the dollars they paid and become repeat customers.

All layout work can be provided in a .zip file for download from our server or by email. Finished work can be provided in Microsoft Word, .pdf or "turning ebook" format.

Inside Page Layouts
How would you like beautiful layout graphics to grace all the inside pages of your ebook with color photographs from our cache of stock photos.¹Professionally formatted text and headers present a printer quality image.

Our fee is $175 for up to 80 finished pages with up to two reviews/changes on an 8.5 x 11-inch page or 120 finished pages for a 6 x 9-inch page. Additional pages are $1 each. Unless you desire a different layout for the inside pages, we coordinate the inside page layout with your cover graphic, whenever possible. This pricing does not include the creation of a cover graphic, which is a separate service (see next paragraph). Between our own cache of stock photos and those offered free on the Internet, we do our best to provide appropriate photos for the inside pages¹. Click here for more samples.

This layout service can be provided in Microsoft Word and/or .pdf formats. The .pdf format incurs an extra $25 fee and includes inter-document linking for table of contents and hotlinks for any noted URLs. Additionally, .pdf documents may be password protected and set to disallow printing and/or copying. See below for turning ebook information.

Cover Graphic Creation
We are happy to create a cover graphic for you. If we cannot locate an appropriate graphic for the cover, the client must provide it. Please understand that we do not offer illustration or graphic artist services. We create covers, as in our samples, from photographs. Along with the cover, we include a 3D book view of the cover (described in the next paragraph with sample). If you do not wish the 3D graphic, it does not lessen the fee since we include this service at no additional charge. You are paying only for creation of the cover graphic. Our fee is $60. Here are a few samples of what we have created for some of our clients:

3D Book View Cover Graphic
If you already have your cover graphic and would like only a 3D book view of your ebook cover for promotional purposes, we can create it for you for $35. You must supply the completed cover graphic. A sample is shown at left.

Interactive Page-Turning eBook
Great for many uses across the web. The finished product turns like a book and can be a standalone .exe file, embedded in a web page, or use a browser plug-in with link to reader. Here are some media that work well in ebook layout:

eBooks

Business Cards

Brochures

Guides and Manuals

Reports

Firm Profiles

Presentations

Educational Materials

Newsletters and magazines
