Every book project is tailored to meet the needs and the budget of the author.
Our team of proofreaders, book designers, graphic artists, and printers will transform your manuscript into a beautiful work of art. Authors retain full copyright, have final say over their cover design, and determine how many copies they want printed — from 25 copies to multiple thousands. Our books are printed on high quality paper stock, with scuff-free gloss or matte lamination on the cover. We can produce all types of books — fiction, nonfiction, poetry, children’s books, chapbooks.

Estimates are prepared based on the specific services you request
We charge $50 to produce a line-item estimate. That $50 will be credited back to the total cost when we begin the project. Once the estimate is accepted, no additional fees are charged unless you modify the scope of your project.
Our services end when printed copies are delivered. However, we partner with others who assist our clients with website development & hosting, eBook conversions, publicity and marketing. We can provide contact information for these firms upon request.
