Foot­notes, tables, in­dexes, for­mu­las and quo­ta­tions in other scripts take more work than con­tinu­ous text.

Photos and graphics

The num­ber of il­lus­tra­tions and their con­di­tion mat­ter: archival pho­tos and scans of­ten need retouching.

The num­ber of proof rounds is agreed in the quo­ta­tion. Cor­rec­tions are best sent as one or­gan­ised set.

Questions about prices

Yes. I prepare the quotation free of charge within 1-2 business days, based on the text or a description of the publication.

Yes. All rates on this page are net starting prices. The final price depends on the material and scope of work.

At the starting rate of PLN 200 net per unit, typesetting a book of 6 publishing units, about 240,000 characters with spaces, costs from PLN 1200 net. A worked example is in the article How much does book typesetting cost?.

When the typesetting is done in my studio, preparing the print files is usually included in the price.

I invoice in Polish zloty, and clients abroad can also pay in euro or pounds sterling.
