What Hekate does

We make books.

We paste your manuscript text into a formatted Word file. We futz with that for a while. The assumption is the submitted manuscript is complete. or finished. Then, either separately or using the Amazon software, we convert the Word file into a PDF file.. The PDF file is used by the printer to construct the physical book.

Problems arise in that conversion process, generally issues with Word formatting translating poorly into PDF. Computers are literal. So there ensues a period of negotiation between Word and PDF files.

The cover is created separately. Initially, we designed the cover from scratch and did the conversion into a formatted PDF. Now we plug in images and futz with the Amazon cover creator software.

Hekate is happy to answer any questions an author might have with regard to self publishing or the technicalities of that process. This has become our desperate reality.
