Consultation
BlueCrystal understands every step of the publishing process—from conception to finished product. So we’re the natural place to turn if you have questions about any aspect of publishing, whether you’re an author looking for help with self-publishing a book, an organization trying to identify the ideal printer, or a production manager seeking to streamline the production cycle.
Proof reading

BlueCrystal will be the second set of “eyes” that’s required for all publications to be truly error-free; we’ll deliver a document that makes perfect sense when you read it.
Design (Cover & Interior)
Sometimes a book is judged by its cover, and you can count on us to make sure yours lives up to the quality of your manuscript. We can work from an existing design or start from scratch. Either way, we know the importance of good cover design, and we’re sure you’ll be satisfied with the result.

We’ve mastered the latest composition principles and know how to harness them to produce distinctive publications you’ll be proud of.
Art Management
