Print on Demand Plans

How much it costs?

With the exception of low-page count books, the printing cost of each book equals the page count, times the print cost per page, plus the unit cost per book that varies according to the binding types and trim sizes and order. Volume discounts may apply to high volume Short Run orders. Contact us for special pricing information.

We offer two plans:. Basic and Premium.

Volume Discounts

Order 50 or more books and take advantage of our automatic print discount. These discounts apply to the number of units ordered for each order line, not an entire order.

All book types are eligible for volume discount. If you require more than 2000 paperback copies, or more than 750 copies of hardback books, we can print your book with offset to reducce your cost per book subtantially. The turnaround time for offset is about 7 to 10 days. Send us an email.

Can I start with the Basic Plan and switch to Premium?  

Yes. You can switch from Basic to Premium at any time. All you have to do is pay the difference of $200 dollars and take advantage of the lowest price that any self publishing company offers.

To reduce your risk we recommend you to start with the Basic plan. Test the waters and see how your book sells. Once you see result, you can switch to Premium Plan to maximize your profit.

The advantage of the Premium Plan is that the cost per book is the lowest you can get from any self publishing company. For you to succeed you need to sell your books through brick & mortar booksellers. For them to carry your book your price must be competitive and you must be prepared to give them 50% to 55% discount. The only way that is possible is to lower the cost per book. You cannot get a better price from any other self publishing company and you can not get a better quality book anywhere else. 

Check the binding types and trim sizes that are available.
