Add-On Services:

Because we work with authors of varying self publishing experience and needs, we offer additional services for you to achieve the personalized look and feel you want for your book. These services and fees are in addition to our Basic Service Package:

•  Custom Cover Design: $295.00

  Statistics show that eighty percent of what goes into selling a book is the cover design. A professional cover designer will create your cover for you with your input. Please take note of the book covers you'll find through-out our web site, we have a reputation for producing quality covers that grab attention and sell more books!

•  Hardcover Edition of Your Book : $295.00 (Includes separate ISBN and sales reports)

  Your book and cover will be formatted to be produced in a hardcover version, complete with full color dust jacket and durable cloth-style (patriot blue or slate gray) cover with gold foil stamped title on spine.

•  Copyediting Service : $0.015 / per word

  Even world-class writers benefit from good editing. Your manuscript will be copyedited for grammar, punctuation, and spelling to ensure quality. (Yes, we know that self-publishing and print-on-demand are misspelled on our web site. But due to the vagaries of search engines, it cannot be helped.)

•  Interior Images : $5.00 / per image

  If you choose to add interior pictures or illustrations to your book, there is a $5.00 per image processing fee. Interior images and graphics will be printed in grayscale (black & white).

•  Image Scanning : $7.00 / per image

  Professional image scans of your photo's or artwork for use in your book's interior. We can accommodate photo's or artwork up to 8.5 X 11 inches in size.

•  Alteration Fee: $50.00 / per hour , $75.00 / per hour for web

  If you decide to make editorial changes (author’s alterations) or cover design changes to your submission during the production process, we may find it necessary to charge you an alteration fee to defray the additional expense. An alteration fee will also be charged for web changes if we find it necessary. We define an alteration as an authors change to text or template while your book is in production. These fees will be charged to your credit card (a credit card number must be provided in the event that you request changes with the applied fees).
