Artwork

When sending graphic materials with your manuscript, you may supply them either digitally or as hard copies. If you would like any hard copy photographs returned to you, please label the back of each photo with your name and mailing address.

Please do not send digital files or hard copies in multiple shipments or e-mails. Collect all material and send in one shipment or e-mail when you send the final manuscript.

Please note that we will require the original data file (JPG, TIFF, EPS, etc.) for any image that is placed into a word file as it is not always possible to extract images from a word file for use in our page layout software. Providing images as hard copies or as separate digital files also ensures the highest possible quality of reproduction in your book.

If you plan on scanning your own images, please follow these general rules (for general operation instructions for your scanner , please refer to the owners manual):

  • Remove any dust on the bed of your scanner and photo with a lint free cloth.
  • Scan photos at a minimum of 300 DPI.
