Editing
Professional editing is the largest line item for most books and the one that most affects reviews. Costs scale with word count and the depth of the edit.
Cover and interior design
A professional cover and interior layout are a one-time cost that you keep for the life of the book.
ISBN, registration and distribution
Owning your ISBN gives you control of your imprint. Distribution through print on demand has no upfront inventory cost.
Marketing
Plan a launch budget for review copies, a landing page, and targeted promotions. Do not spend more on ads than the book can earn back.
Bundled packages vs. buying separately
Bundles can reduce cost and coordination. Compare what is included at each tier on our pricing page before deciding.
