Okay, this is the first step of the process (really it is the second step because the first step is you writing the manuscript).This is the time you need to have your manuscript in an acceptable format for us to prepare your files for the printer. If you are using our ghost writing services to prepare your manuscript then skip this step. We accept your manuscript via flash drive, email (preferably), or CD. We like to work with Word Document but if you are working with a different word processing program, please contact us to see if we can work with your files. Visit our "preparing layout" page for formatting assistance. Also, Above are some links that may be helpful to you as well.
There are many file-sharing programs available on the internet that allow computers to download documents and make them available to other, but we prefer that you send them to us via email or our handy uploader. All files must be sent to the email: files@griotinternational.com
If you decide to insert additional documents and/or photos after the layout is completed, there will be a reformatting fee. Please use your Griot Code to identify these files. If you do not identify them, we cannot guarantee that your additional contents will be inserted into your Book. Below are some ways to send your files to us according to whichever OS that you are using. Contact us with further questions.

"Serifs" are those tiny tails Most books use a serif font for the body copy, like Times, in 11 or 12 pt., and a bold sans serif font for headlines and chapter titles. If your audience is older, you may want to use a slightly larger font to make it easier for them to read. For this reason, we offer you two options for choosing your font size of either 11 or 12 pt.
You can choose the font style that you desire, but be aware that fancy fonts are more difficult to print. They will have to be embedded in your pdf file, and sometimes this function still doesn't work with our printers. Listed below are some of the fonts that we suggest you choose for your Book.
