Notes:
This assumes you have already typed up your poetry book, copyedited the contents, proofread the contents, spellchecked and can supply in Microsoft Word doc. format. If the content needs copyediting, a lot of proofreading or a lot of formatting/editing then costs will rise accordingly. Please see here for explanations.
With the paperback option, a proof copy will need to be purchased by you. The cost will vary depending on the size, number of pages, etc. For example, a poetry collection, which might be: a perfect bound paperback, A5 size and 100 pages would cost approx. £2.50 for the proof copy, plus postage and packaging.
Once your proof copy is approved by you we will then require payment for the publishing service. Further copies (as many or as few) can then be purchased as and when required, often with discounts for bulk orders.
These prices are just a guide, so please get in touch for a free quote.
There are many companies out there, and it can be a bit of a minefield. For an independent view of potential costs – click here. Do your research! As you will find, some companies say they’ll do it for free, or really cheap, then keep all the rights and most of the royalties, some charge literally £5000+ or more for what we offer. Never give your rights away!
