Your book, made with care
I’m E.R. Zaugg, and I format and publish the Innatraea books myself. Every page you see here is from Book Five: Tursim, made the same way I’ll make yours.
Send me your finished manuscript, and I’ll turn it into a print-ready PDF and an EPUB, with two ISBNs under the Innatraea imprint: one for print, one for the ebook. Then publish wherever you like. All I ask is that you list Innatraea as your publisher.
A print-ready PDF
Sized to the trim you choose and ready to upload to KDP, IngramSpark or any printer, with the touches that make a book feel finished:
- Chapter openings with their own title, subtitle and flourish
- Epigraphs set apart in their own box, and drop caps to begin each chapter
- Running heads and page numbers that step aside on chapter openings
- Front matter done properly: title page, copyright page, dedication and a table of contents with page numbers
An EPUB that reads like a book
Your ebook isn’t an afterthought. It carries the same look as your print edition, made to read well on any screen:
- A clickable table of contents, so every chapter is one tap away
- The same fonts, flourishes, epigraphs and drop caps as your print book
- Text that reflows to any phone, tablet or e-reader, at any size your readers like
- Ready to upload to KDP and the other ebook stores
Fonts, flourishes and the small things
Formatting shouldn’t be a template dropped over your words. We choose the look together: the typeface for your text and your headings, the flourish beneath each chapter title, how your epigraphs and scene breaks are set, and whether your chapters open with a drop cap.
Readers feel these choices even when they can’t name them. Your book should look like your book.
Two ISBNs, under the Innatraea imprint
Your package includes two ISBNs from Innatraea’s own block: one for your print edition and one for your ebook. Each is assigned to your title, your name and that format, for good.
Publish wherever you want: KDP, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, your own shop. The one thing I ask is that you list Innatraea as the publisher, because that’s how your ISBNs are registered.
Need another, for a hardcover or a large-print edition? Each extra ISBN is $10.
How it goes
- Write to me about your book: its genre, its length, and anything you love (or can’t stand) in how books look.
- Send your finished manuscript as a Word file. A Google Doc works too.
- We choose the look together: trim size, fonts, flourishes, epigraphs and drop caps.
- I send you proofs of both the print PDF and the EPUB.
- Two rounds of revisions are included, and small fixes after that are no trouble at all.
- You get your final files and your ISBNs, ready to upload wherever you publish.
Formatting is all I do to your words, so your manuscript should be fully edited before it comes to me.
Everything, for $50
- A print-ready PDF, sized to your trim
- An EPUB with a clickable table of contents

The short version
- You keep all rights to your work.
- You keep 100% of your royalties. There’s no revenue share.
- Innatraea is listed as the publisher, because your ISBNs are registered to the Innatraea imprint.
- Each ISBN belongs to one title, one author and one format, permanently.
- ISBNs can’t be refunded once they’re registered with Bowker.
- Publishing under the imprint isn’t an endorsement of your book’s content.
The full agreement comes with your purchase.
