"...We all have a book inside of us waiting to get out,
Kellscraft Studio is here to help make it a reality..."



Here's what we can do for you:

  • Editing services: Review and suggest edits and formatting, including spelling/grammar corrections, such as:
    • developmental editing
    • copy editing
    • proofreading.

  • Book interior Design and formatting: Creating print-ready documents in Word (.docx) and PDF formats.

  • Cover design: Working with you, we'll put together a book cover design, approved by you, for use in the final project.

  • If a private printing (just for family and friends) a published book (softcover, hardcover, hardcover with dust jacket, etc.) can be produced in limited quantities.  If this is to be a work offered to the public, it can be set up for on-demand printing (one to 100's of copies printed as needed.)  We use Lulu.com to publish these books, and they do offer sales direct from their site for the general public. As the author, you will receive royalties direct from Lulu.com.

  • Please note: At this time I do not offer marketing services.  I will produce a final printable work, which you can order to sell to local bookstores or by other means.  Lulu.com will list your book for sale for you also.
  • I charge $30/hour, 3 hours minimum.

  • I will work closely with you through all steps of the process.

  • My goal is to get your project to a printable stage with low cost to you, and offered for sale through Lulu.com.

  • Communication is key and As we work on the project, we may have email, phone and on-line meetings to keep your project moving and keep you informed of progress.

  • Depending on the nature of your project, I offer scanning and photographic services, as needed.
