Step One - Binding Styles

Morris Publishing offers three binding styles. Perfect binding (paperback) is the most economical and popular style we offer. Plastic coil and plastic comb binding are also available.

Step Two - Interior Pages

Prepare your pages and make decisions about paper and ink choices. Pages must be proofread, edited, typeset, and submitted press-ready.

Step Three - Cover Design

The cover provides the first impression. Morris Publishing offers many options to assist with your cover design, or you may send us a press-ready digital file.

Step Four - Technical Aspects

Your book may require a few technical details, such as an ISBN, bar code, or Library of Congress Control Number. Morris Publishing provides services to help you obtain many of these items.

Step Five - Submit Your Order

Once you have selected book options and your pages and cover are ready, submit files online or mail us a hard copy of pages and cover material. Send the completed order form (PDF 54kb), any other necessary forms, and 1/3 of your payment.

Step Six - Review Proofs

You will receive page and cover proofs to review and approve. Approval letters and the second 1/3 of your payment must be returned before books are printed and bound. Final payment must be received before your books can be shipped.
