You may choose to transform your life story into a book—either in printed or electronic format.

Book production begins with your final, approved book manuscript.

Storyphile works with our trusted partners to transform your manuscript into a beautiful book or ebook that you and your loved ones will enjoy and cherish for generations to come. It will become part of your legacy.

Storyphile manages the book production process for you.

• We develop, edit and proofread all written content added during the book production phase. This includes copy for the front and back covers, the copyright page, preface, table of contents, dedication and acknowledgments.
• We write copy for the front and back covers and spine and arrange for author photos and testimonials, as needed.
• We prepare the copyright page, which includes the publication date, credits and other information.
