Print Planning and Quantities
We discuss the number of copies, selling plans and storage needs. This helps compare a planned print run with print-on-demand where appropriate.
A printed book brings your manuscript into the physical world. Paper, binding, cover finish and trim size all influence how that edition feels and how much it costs to produce.
We help authors across Australia plan book printing around their intended use, quantity and budget. A small family edition, an event run and ongoing retail sales may call for different production choices.
We review the brief and production requirements with you, discuss proofing and delivery, and confirm the quote before an approved job proceeds to print.
Tell us about your project and the support you need.
Choose the support that fits your project. We discuss your audience, preferred formats and budget, then put the agreed work into a clear plan.

Binding and edition choices are reviewed against your book type, budget and available production options. We explain what the selected specification includes.
We discuss paper stock, colour or monochrome interiors and available cover finishes. Image-heavy books have different needs from text-led novels.
Cover and interior files are checked against the chosen printer's specifications. Missing bleed, incorrect size or unresolved file issues are raised before production.
We agree the proof stage and how corrections will be handled. You approve the proof before the full production run is authorised.
Quantity, destination and packaging needs inform the delivery plan. Freight, production timing and any split shipments are confirmed in the quote.
A good brief makes the work easier to review. These are the decisions we help you make before production starts.
We agree the scope, deliverables and review stages with you before work begins.
