Professional cover: $95 for softcover, $120 hardcover. This includes a fully-designed photo or illustration, synopsis, author bio, etc.

Extra Warehousing: $100. Since we are a Print-on-Demand publisher, we keep only a limited supply of books on hand to reduce inventory costs and keep your prices low. This sometimes causes delays if a book sells a number of copies at once. This package will cover our warehousing costs and keep a minimum of 7-10 copies of your book in stock at all times.

Copyediting/Proofing: Starting at $1.50 per 250-word page. Again, we will provide you with a firm quote before work begins.
