We believe every ebook is an experience and that the way it looks is as important as the story it tells. Thinking about the design of your ebook—while considering you and your book’s brand, as well as its theme and genre—and then making something elegant from clean XHTML is what we do.

At 52 Novels, we believe that the best ebook design begins with people who love books. Technology is great and we love that, too. But what’s on the page is the thing. In fact, when we’re not talking shop, we’re probably talking books. Let us talk about yours, too.

Because of the limitations and unpredictability associated with Smashwords’ automatic ebook conversion process, not all design features are possible. We’ll do our best to recreate the design of the Kindle, ePub and print-ready versions, but we cannot always produce a faithful match. In fact, we recommend using your epub file at Smashwords instead.
Our preference is to use font embedding in premium ebook formatting projects. Font choices are subject to the type foundry’s or font designer’s license terms. We’ll make reasonable attempts to match the fonts used by your cover. As is often the case, however, many fonts do not have favorable license terms for use in ebooks and/or commercial products. Your ebook designer will work with you to find fonts with favorable license terms—from places like Font Squirrel, The League of Moveable Type and the Google Web Font project—that also work well with your ebook’s genre, brand or cover design, either as stand alone choices or as compliments.
If you come to us insisting on a specific font or fonts, you must be sure to have satisfied all licensing requirements from the font’s foundry or designer. If your licenses are not in order, we will not be able to embed the font into your ebooks.

Project spotlight
There’s nothing quite like an ambitious project to pull the design staff out of its collective comfort zone, so we dug right in when Stewart Lee Beck approached us about converting LANGUAGE GYMNASTICS to Kindle and ePub formats. Because ereading systems may have limited support for non-Western character sets, there was initial concern about whether the ebooks would display Chinese characters. Read more

Testimonials from self-published authors
It’s been fantastic working with 52 Novels and I’m looking forward to doing so again. A few weeks ago, I was completely overwhelmed at the prospect of doing this, and they make the process so fantastically simple. Thanks again—you are a great company to do business with!
Rob and his guys have converted all five of my books from their print editions into the full range of e-book formats, and they stuck with every darn one of them until they were absolutely perfect. They’re professionals through and through; and believe me, you do not want to trust your hard work to somebody who hasn’t proven that to a whole lot of writers already.
