Book Sizes - Poetry Publisher

We can produce a variety of book sizes for your poetry collection. Whichever size you choose, a proof copy will have to be purchased from Amazon, the Print On Demand (POD) company. We offer the following sizes of perfect bound paperback:

5.25in x 8in (the most popular)
6in x 9in
A5
Royal (15.6cm x 23.4cm)
Crown Quarto (18.9cm x 24.6cm)
Pocket size (10.8cm x 17.5cm)

The printing cost of your book will vary in relation to the sizes. Generally, the more pages a book has, the higher the cost. Colour images will also increase the cost of a book.

We can format to the correct size for you, all we need is one Word document (usually A4 or sized to A5). Once your book is with us we re-size, set-up margins, page breaks, section breaks, page numbers etc. We also create a copyright page, add the ISBN from the POD company or one you supply.

Note

If there are mistakes, edits or errors which weren’t spotted by yourself prior to agreeing the project completed, a second proof copy may need to be purchased and so on. So our advice is to check very carefully before agreeing on the final draft of your work. A good idea is to have someone else read over your work before submitting as a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ often sees mistakes you would otherwise miss.

“Choosing to publish my first collection of poetry through Poetry Publisher seems to have been a very good move. I had read books on self-publishing and it involved more work than I was prepared to do. I wanted to outsource, and Dave Lewis was the ideal person to approach. He took care of everything, was very easy to collaborate with plus providing lots of support and advice. I am delighted with the final product.”
– John Short
