Tauʻolunga komipiuta publishing services

Tauʻolunga komiputa also provides for pre-press publishing services. We make our own books, as the other examples mentioned above, or we can do it for you.

Bring us your manuscript, bring us your pictures, and we put them together in a nice looking book, depending on your preferences. Mark important words in your book, and we make an index out of it, mark the beginning of your chapters, and we make a table of contents out of it. Spellings check? We have a Tongan spelling checker too.

Briefly, we prepare your book ready for the printing press, so that the printer will not come with additional charges.

And remember, nowadays not all books appear in paper anymore. Some are published on the internet, and that service we can provide too, see our internet chapter.

Or maybe your book is for electronic distribution only, as a portable document file (pdf), complete with bookmarks, indices and so forth. Ask us for a quote!
