Publishing with Us
Publishing is expensive! Future authors can spend a minimum of $1000 to have their book formatted and published. The majority of the time, that doesn't include editing, book covers or books. Most places request a minimum of 100 books be ordered. Not us. We keep our costs down by not hiring out, working online and sending out the printing through companies that don't require a large number of books ordered. If you are finding that the cost of publishing is too high for you, then we may be just right for you. We know what it is like to be in your shoes.
Publishing through us means full support through the process and after. We provide you with as much information and suggestions as we can. You keep 80% of the online royalties and we mark-up your book's price by 30% for our direct sales(we keep that 30% - it also enables us to offer sales, discounts, etc.). You don't have to order 100 books. Order 1, 10 or 500. You pay cost, exchange rates, plus shipping and handling. There are no hidden fees as we prefer to be honest and up front.
So why us? As it is now harder to get a publishing company interested in work, many authors are now self-publishing or Indie publishing. Fewer publishers pay you to write and when they do, there is no guarantee they will take a second book. Other publishers expect you to buy a large number of books or charge a large fee when you wish to print a small amount of books. How do we know all of this? We've been where you are now. We offer our logo and publishing name because many people turn their nose up at self-published work, no matter how good it is. We've had 4 years’ experience publishing and know the ropes. We can handle everything for you, from putting your book together to managing it (taking care of royalties to ordering books for you).
How does it work? You send us a copy of your manuscript. We will look it over and decide whether to publish it. Most of the time, if the manuscript needs work, we will make suggestions and then you can come back to us. We do not publish just anything because we want you to make some money. If you require editing or illustrations, we can arrange that for you with our freelancers. Did you want one of our Low-Cost Publishing Packages or our Premium Publishing Package? You can learn more about each by visiting the Book Package Comparison. Want to know more on our Package Pricing? Our books are distributed online to a number of online stores and bookstores. See our Distribution page to learn more.
Ordering Books isn't as much as you think. They cost an average of $5-$10 a book plus S&H. You don't need to charge a high price to sell your books either. We help you determine what is an average market price for your size of book. Book pricing varies between $8-$20 depending on size.
Royalties varies. It depends on which publishing route you have taken. The Low-Cost Publishing can be around $2+ per book. Expanded Distribution (allowing bookstores, etc. to buy at wholesale prices - generally 40%-55% off the sale price) can be around $0.15 per book sale. The Premium Publishing can average the same or up to $5+ per book depending on the book size, etc.. Expanded distribution can be around $2+ per book sale. The Premium Publishing also offers a variety of quality paper and formats for the book. Premium Publishing isn't for all books and we will get you calculations for both if you are considering it because we want you to make money.
We get the 30% marked up on your book. Part of this 30% allows us to do discounts on large orders, sales, series discounts and more. Royalties online are 10% otherwise you'd have to provide your own tax forms for the US government.
Ownership of the works is all yours! This includes the formatted work, the book cover, you name it. If you want a copy, simply ask at anytime and we will send it by email. We can copy it onto a disk for you and send it out for $10 CAD + PST.
Not sure which way to publish with us? Let us figure out what the best route is for you by determining the royalties and cost of books for each one.
Not from Canada or the U.S? Don't worry because we can still help you. We will set you up with your own account.
