Getting ready to send files for your book to us? Great! Once we receive your files, a technician will look at them and make sure they’re ready to go for print or layout, and be in touch by email with any questions.

First Choice accepts PDFs for print-ready books. If First Choice is doing the layout and design of your book, you can send Word documents (.doc or .docx) and images in JPG or TIF format.
