When your proposal arrives at Tan Prints, it will be assigned to an acquisition editor who specializes in the field that corresponds to your proposed project. Upon assignment, this acquisition editor will set a couple of key steps in motion. He or she will spend some time reviewing and identifying the content

Type-Setting

Typesetting and layout involves setting the book's text and graphics into a layout according to the designer's specifications. Extra spaces and carriage returns, unneeded tabs, and manual page breaks all have to be removed. The typesetter will look for poor hyphenation, large gaps between words, and other issues that affect the page's beauty and readability. We use page layout software, like Adobe Page maker, Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress.

Editing

Sense Reading and Grammatical Mistakes At Tan Prints we have a team of learned teachers/lecturers who methodically go through the proofs for grammatical/sense reading mistakes. This is very painstaking and laboring process Proof Reading This sort of work, performed by our experienced in house team of 100 proofers, involves painstakingly reading the proofs against the manuscript. The page proofs of your manuscript are proof read by several people several times as it passes through the production process; our in-house proof readers go through proofes.

Please note, proofing is not copy editing. Copy editors typically make numerous changes in original manuscripts for the purpose of correcting or improving the text. Proofers, on the other hand, read typeset material, searching for errors introduced in transferring the text from one form (e.g., copyedited manuscript) to another (e.g., page proofs).

Book Cover

Your book's cover is the first thing a prospective reader sees; Covers are very important, unless you have a cover concept and are willing to obtain original art yourself, we suggest to hire a specialist in cover design. Covers are almost always printed in process color, or four inks — cyan, magenta, yellow, and black — blended together on the printed page to produce a range of colors. Not every visible color can be represented in ink. Some publishers also have the covers embossed or foiled, or add a fifth ink in a spot color. A spot ink is mixed before printing so that it will be the exact color desired. Covers are laid out in a flat, a single sheet of paper for front, spine, and back. The paper is larger than the actual cover to allow room for the bleed, where the ink extends past the design. The bleed will be trimmed later. The designer needs to know the final trim size of the book, the number of pages, and the paper used. These last two details allow the designer to calculate the spine width.

Book Interior

Designing the book interior is a separate task from designing the cover. Interior book design involves selecting the typeface, its size, and the leading; deciding how to indicate section breaks and the various levels of headings; selecting a format for tables and figures; and more.

The design should match the book's subject matter in tone, and be appropriate for the intended readers. For example, children's storybooks normally use large, easy-to-read fonts. A fantasy novel may have a special treatment for the first page of each chapter.
