Premium Custom Book

Your custom-crafted story in a fully custom book — just as you envision it.

Do you have a manuscript or a book
in the idea stage?

Is it mostly images, mostly words,
or a balance of both?

Is it for the coffee table or to be
held in a lap and read?

Do you need copies for a few people
or many?

Working together, we’ll create your unique, privately published book, telling the story and ensuring it is preserved and shared for generations.

Pricing and production schedule depend on many factors. We’re happy to discuss and provide estimates based on your vision.

The process:

  • You and your coach meet – virtually or in our office – to review your vision and the story, what materials you currently have, if you have a deadline, and answer each other’s questions so you’re both in sync.

  • Coaching continues until the book’s contents are created, proofed, and in a digital format, and the book’s size, general design, and number of copies are set. Coaching is charged at $120/hour.

  • Scanning is available if you have tangible images for inclusion in the book.

At this point, your coach creates a production estimate and schedule. Once accepted, a deposit of 1/3 of the estimated production cost is due and production begins.

  • A preliminary book design is created for your review and approval.

  • Once the book design is complete, you and your coach will review the print-ready book for any final revisions.

  • Your coach makes the changes and the book is sent for printing. The second payment of 1/3 of the estimated production is due.

  • When your book is finished - printed, bound and perfect – the final payment is due.

Your coach meets you to deliver the books and celebrate!

"I discovered a box of letters my parents wrote to each other during WWII. The letters reflected their love and WWII lives apart. I wanted my children and grandchildren to have this precious story. I just didn’t know how to go about it.

Jiffy was amazing. She worked diligently with me to organize the material and her expertise was professional and helpful. The book is a beautiful product and a respectful tribute to my parents. If you are interested in preserving a story, I would recommend Jiffy without reservation.”
