“After all these years of cooking and writing recipes, I am still amazed every time I notice how even the minutest of variation in technique can make a spectacular difference.”
Cookbooks
Do you have cooking recipes and techniques to share but think there may be enough cookbooks out there already? Cookbooks are flourishing. Not only have they survived the shift to digital media (ebooks), but sales of hardcover cookbooks have increased since 2018, and spiked during the pandemic, as more people were at home in their kitchens. Ecookbooks continue to grow with new features like embedded tutorial videos. Now is a great time to share your ideas and know-how.
At Hansen Dyson our experts will ensure your stories are well crafted and edited, your recipes are well explained and easy to follow, and the photography or illustrations are equally inspiring.

“Raise your words, not your voice.
It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
Poetry
“You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.”
History
History is the story of ideas. Do you have a historical narrative that needs to be told? A new perspective, a little known event, an untold past or a revision? Wether it’s political, cultural or biographical, we can help you write, publish and promote it.
“The only source of knowledge is experience.”
DIY
Einstein says imagination is more important than knowledge. Do you have experience and expertise in something you think would be useful to many?
Have you found creative solutions to things that enable people to create or fix an object or an issue for themselves?
Wether it’s crafting, home renovations, or new side hustles to earn more money, DIY books have immense popularity. What will yours be about?
Ebooks

Ebook Conversion
Our ebook conversion specialists will deliver professionally designed and formatted ebooks, viewable on all devices. After manually converting your book, our experts do a quality control check to ensure a beautiful standard/re-flowable or fixed layout presentation, and send you a final ebook proof for your review.
Standard Layout
When choosing your ebook’s format, you will be choosing between a standard layout with re-flowable text, or a fixed layout, depending on the content of your book.
Texts without photographs or images, such as novels, non-fiction, and poetry, have a standard layout and are devised with what is called a re-flowable format. This means the text can be read, and the file will be re-formatted (as in resized), on all e-readers and handheld devices. This also means there will be no “fixed” design layout, due to things like varying screen sizes and user preferences (for example a reader can adjust the size of the font).
Most ebooks have a standard layout with re-flowable text.
Fixed Layout
A fixed layout is used for image-heavy books that require the images to appear in a specific and/or consistent way. Examples of books that typically require a fixed layout are:
-
Photography or art books
-
Cookbooks
-
Illustrated children’s books
-
Graphic novels
-
Textbooks or Trade books with numerous graphics
Books that are design focused, have full-page images, text that overlaps with images, or a specific presentation structure are made with a fixed layout to preserve the integrity of the design.
Customize
Customize your ebooks with embedded videos, graphics and audio files.
Transform your cookbook or health and wellness book with a video tutorial. Create exciting surprises in your children’s book with interactive videos or audio files. Include compelling motion graphics in your digital trade books and other digital business products.
Enhance your ebooks with interactive, animated or audio features that will help your book take center stage in a busy marketplace.
These options are available in a fixed layout format for Amazon Kindle Fire, iBooks, Kobo Arc tablet, and all other tablets and smartphones.
Ebooks For Business
Ebooks are a great marketing tool. Easier to create, publish and distribute than hard copy books, ebooks are a great way to build a mailing list as well as increase revenue.
A free e-book on your company website can help promote a product or service, or for a small fee, sell important information, while furthering company branding and sales conversions. Let us help you write compelling copy, format, index and publish your company’s expert ebook.
