Book Editor Color Copies · 8.5x14 · 80lb Matte Text

8.5x14 legal length gives chapter note tables, style reminders, and query batches room without shrinking comment references authors need beside printed manuscripts. Editors often mail legal summaries when authors prefer paper markup over screen-only review. Standard letter forces cramped query lists that authors misread during deadline week when they are marking up hard copies at the kitchen table late at night.

Yes. 250 copies on 80lb matte text supports a full developmental pass, author workshop kits, and spares when co-authors request duplicate summary sets. There is no minimum, so you can reorder when one style rule changes mid-project. Upload separate PDFs per title and approve proofs before the author’s contracted review window closes.

Free Design Setup can widen columns for chapter references and add row shading so authors scan editor questions fast during review weekends. Send vector PDFs with embedded fonts. Flag any house style line your publisher requires on every pass. We proof dense query tables before your editorial run prints so authors are not hunting page numbers on illegible microtype.

Uncoated 80lb matte text accepts pen and pencil when authors note accept-or-revise decisions beside each query during print markup sessions. Gloss smears under desk lamps and resists erasure when answers change after beta reader feedback. Note dotted response rows in comments if you want blank answer zones preserved on proof before author mailers ship.

Yes. Structural notes on the front and style excerpts on the back keep one sheet traveling with the manuscript through copyedit. Keep deadline dates on the front if pages might separate during author travel. We align both sides on proof so chapter numbers match between markup summary and query batch columns.

Upload the revised PDF for style excerpts only and run a short reorder. No minimum helps when one capitalization rule changes but manuscript markup templates stay valid for the same title. Date the footer so editors stop mailing outdated style pages before the copyedit pass begins on Monday.

Rush and express options show on the calculator when capacity allows. Upload final workshop art early, approve proof the same day, and pick the fastest ship option your retreat start allows. Enter studio zip at checkout for transit separate from production days before authors board flights with empty handout folders.
