next steps


01

let’s get started

Yay we’re so thrilled for you to have a book! A deposit is required to begin working on your book; this is 50% of your base book total.

Once the deposit is sent we will mock up a layout sample if we haven’t already; we’ll put photos together that will bring the story of your day to life. We’ll send you an online link for you to review and from there you’ll be able to make comments for further adjustments, and even approve your layout once you’re happy with it. We’ll go back and forth until you feel it’s just right.

 

02

finalize your details

There are lots of customization options for your book so take your time looking through them. When you’re ready let us know all of these details: What cover option you’d like and what colour, what text (if any) you’d like on the cover and in what style and colour, and if there are any additional upgrades that you’re interested in.

 

03

off to print!

After you approve your layout and send us all of your customization options we’ll send your book in to print. At this point your remaining balance for the book is due, including any A La Carte items.

It will be about 6-8 weeks for your book to be completed and we always like to do a quality control check before we send it off to you. Once that is completed your book will be available for you to pick up in Toronto if you’re local, otherwise we will send it out via Canada Post and will pass along tracking information.
