PAPERBACK BOOK PUBLISHING
What Does It Cost To Publish Your Book?
Publishing Packages
You've done the hard part: you wrote the book. Now let's turn it into something you're proud to hold, share, and sell.
We take care of the design, formatting, and technical setup, and most of our authors see their book live on Amazon within 6-8 weeks of approving their final manuscript. You keep your copyright, your publishing platform (Amazon or D2D) pays your royalties directly to you, and we never take a cut. When you want copies for signings, events, gifts, or local bookstores, you order them at print cost.
