Book Printing   |   eBooks   |   Editing   |   Book Design   |   Sell Your Book   |   Pricing Good morning, I won’t mince words: The last few weeks have been excruciating for us all. I pray that you and your families and loved ones have taken every precaution to stay healthy and safe. We at BookBaby are doing the same—even as we continue to help you edit, design, print, and distribute your eBooks and printed books. Yet, there’s more happening at our Philadelphia-area plant than book production. Today’s a good time to tell you about an extraordinary effort that BookBaby and its sister company, Disc Makers, are doing to battle the COVID-19 virus. Thanks to the hard work of our talented engineering, operations, and logistics staff, our company is manufacturing face shields to be used by our heroic first responders. That’s right…we’re ShieldBaby now! Here’s the whole story, including how the wonderful idea was all put in motion by a question from the wife of Disc Makers CEO, Tony van Veen. All the best, Steven Spatz President, BookBaby P.S. Our face shields can be ordered online at www.discmakers.com/faceshields. Hospitals that need large quantities can email faceshields@discmakers.com. Or just forward this email to them.

Book Printing   |   eBooks   |   Editing   |   Book Design   |   Sell Your Book   |   Pricing Every book needs editing, but what type does your book need? Don’t make the mistake of publishing an unedited book just because you aren’t sure. Here’s a quick breakdown: Line editing - $10/page An intensive structural edit that focuses on the finer aspects of language—the flow of ideas, transition elements, tone, and style. Copy editing - $7/page A basic word-by-word edit that addresses grammar, usage, and consistency issues. Proofreading - $3/page The final review that fixes any lingering mechanical and grammar issues before your book is printed and published. Once you know what type of editing is perfect for you, use code BBEDIT20 and save 20% with our professional editors. “Everybody needs to know this: You can’t just let anyone edit your book. Your friends can’t do it. Your family can’t do it. If you want to put something you’re proud of into the marketplace, you have to have a proofing and editing expert do the job.” – Dr. Tony Lewis Edit your book SPECIAL OFFERS  |  FREE GUIDES  |  BLOG  |  CATALOG  |  HELP  |  1-877-961-6878 Discover New Releases & Best Sellers © BookBaby 7905 N.
