The Self-Publishing Guide

Understandably, authors want clarity about the costs of self-publishing. So, let’s address that right away. The honest answer is that it depends. Costs vary based on factors like the length of your book, print run, use of colour, choice of hardcover vs paperback, the need for editorial support, what sort of marketing and whether you want distribution taken care of for you. There are so many variables that a realistic estimate requires understanding your specific needs and goals. We believe that transparent pricing and authors knowing exactly what they are paying for is essential. So, to make this as clear as possible, we provide each author with a detailed, no-obligation quote based on their manuscript and objectives. This quote outlines all available services with totally transparent pricing, empowering authors to make an informed decision about moving forward and selecting the exact How Much Does It Cost?

services they require. Our approach is tailored to each author and we do not package our services together as that only means authors will end up paying for something they may not need. Having said all that, we also understand that having a general sense of costs is helpful before requesting a personalised quote. So, on the next page as well as on our website we’ve provided pricing examples featuring the most commonly selected groups of services, each suited to different publishing goals. This gives a realistic idea of what to expect based on typical author choices.
