‘Galley proofs’ is a term still used but actually comes from the history of printing. The equivalent now for us is our Proof 1 that we send out as the last version the author sees of the text before it is printed. Please feel free to send out Proof 1 to any potential reviewers or people who might offer to endorse. However, please make sure it’s clear it’s an ’uncorrected’ proof.
The text is proof-read twice again before the final text is released.
When we enter that soft launch phase we provide you with four different size copies of the cover image, a PDF of what the inside of the book looks like, an e-book file, an order form for author copies and an up to date marketing plan.
For picture books we supply a PDF that is good enough resolution to see on a screen but that wouldn’t print well. Full resolution files are huge.
