Author Color Copy FAQs
Why use 8.5x14 legal sheets for author manuscript printouts?
8.5x14 legal length gives chapter titles, scene breaks, and wide margin notes room without shrinking body type to unreadable sizes. Beta readers often write vertically in margins during kitchen-table sessions. Standard letter forces cramped line numbers that editors misread. Tell us if you need line numbers in the outer margin on proof.
Can I print 1000 manuscript sheets per title launch?
Yes. 1000 copies on 32lb bond supports large critique 8.5x14 legal sheets, launch teams, and bookstore signing stacks. There is no minimum, so you can reorder when one chapter changes after revision. Upload separate PDFs per section and approve proofs before your release week events.
Will double-sided chapters stay readable on bond?
32lb bond reduces show-through when beta readers print dense fiction on both sides. Free Design Setup can widen margins if your template runs tight. Send print-ready PDFs with embedded fonts. Flag any line numbering scheme your critique group requires. We proof before your manuscript run ships.
Should author handouts be matte bond for markup?
Matte uncoated bond is standard when beta readers use pencil and red pen during long critique sessions. Gloss smears and fights glare under dining room lamps. Bond also feeds most home printers if you need emergency reprints of one chapter before workshop night.
Can sell sheets include QR links to retailer buy pages?
Yes. QR codes fit legal footers when kept inside safe margins. We align codes on proof so they scan after trimming. Keep ISBN and title in plain text as well in case readers are offline at outdoor festival tents or rural bookstore events.
How do I reprint one chapter after a major revision?
Upload the revised PDF for that chapter only and run a short reorder. No minimum protects you from reprinting the full manuscript because one scene changed. Version the footer so critique partners know they are marking the current draft before your agent submission deadline.
Can CheapRUSH rush sheets before a book festival signing?
Rush and express options appear on the calculator when capacity allows. Upload final sell sheet art early, approve proof the same day, and pick the fastest production option your travel date allows. Enter ship-to zip at checkout for transit separate from print days.
