About Elaine Sharples.

I'm Elaine Sharples and I live and work in the lovely seaside village of St Dogmaels in Pembrokeshire, South-West Wales. I studied Surface Pattern Design at college and began my career as a freelance greetings card artist.

I was taught how to use a Mac at Imrays Nautical Book & Chart Publishers then moved on to Cambridge Publishing Management, where I learned the art of typesetting and page-layout.

Since moving to Wales in 2002 I have worked as a freelance Typesetter/Mac Operator, building a loyal clientele around the UK.

I am a committed Christian.

My Fees

I charge Ł18 per hour for book design and typesetting.

This usually works out at about 50p per page for simple A/B/C sized novels or books with body text, chapter headings and running heads only.

Around Ł1 to Ł6.00 per page for more heavily-formatted books, magazines and reports involving subheaders, bullets, numbered lists, tables, diagrams etc.

Amendments are charged at Ł18 per hour.
