A little clarity.
Before the first chapter.
Practical answers to help you frame your next publishing project.
What types of projects can we discuss?+
Books, educational materials, journals, reports and other long-form publications. Share your source content and intended output so the right editorial and production scope can be defined.
Can I ask for just one service?+
Yes. Your brief can focus on a single stage such as proofreading, typesetting or EPUB preparation, or combine several stages into a connected workflow.
What information belongs in my brief?+
Include the publication type, estimated word or page count, current source format, desired output formats, style requirements and timeline. A representative sample is useful when discussing scope.
How are price and timelines determined?+
They depend on content complexity, volume, source-file quality, required formats and review rounds. A scoped proposal should set these out before work begins. No fixed rates or turnaround promises are published here.
What is the difference between reflowable and fixed-layout EPUB?+
Reflowable content adapts to screen size and reader text settings. Fixed-layout content preserves a designed page arrangement. The appropriate approach depends on the publication, reader needs and target platforms.
How should accessibility be planned?+
Begin with the intended audience and target requirements, then consider structure, reading order, navigation and image descriptions. Any assessment, remediation work and conformance targets should be explicitly scoped.
Does the project form send my enquiry?+
The form creates a text brief on your device. After preparing it, you can choose to open an email addressed to info@heartwords.in with your brief included. You review and send it in your own email app; the website does not send automatically.
Are the books shown on the website client projects?+
No. The photography is editorial imagery used to illustrate publishing and reading. It is not presented as Heart Words client work.
