Camera ready work, also referred to as desktop publishing or typesetting, is best understood in terms of cosmetics. I will be making cosmetic changes to your book. This means that after you have written your book, had it edited, and gone over it with a fine-tooth comb regarding content, grammar, sentence structure, etc., I will make it look like a book. This mostly means page layout (framing the text on the page), but it also includes pagination, changing hyphens to dashes, adding running heads at the top of each page, justifying the text, adding fonts, setting off indented quotations, getting rid of stray lines at the bottom or top of each page—and more. What camera-ready work does not include is editing, proof-reading, or indexing. I sub-contract to others for this.
