Notes:
This assumes you have already typed up your book, copyedited the contents, proofread the contents, spellchecked and can supply in Microsoft Word doc. format. If the content needs copyediting, proofreading or a lot of formatting / editing then costs will rise accordingly. Please see here for explanations.
With the paperback option, a proof copy will need to be purchased by you. The cost will vary depending on the size, number of pages etc. For example, a poetry collection, which might be: a perfect bound paperback, A5 size and 100 pages would cost approx. £3 for the proof copy, plus postage and packaging. A 400 page novel would be more expensive.
Once your proof copy is approved by you we will then require payment for the publishing service. Further copies (as many or as few) can then be purchased as and when required, often with discounts for bulk orders.
These prices are just a guide though as a short poetry book would not require as much formatting, proofreading as say a 300 page crime thriller or self-help manual. So please get in touch for a free quote.

I’m looking at self publishing a collection of poems with someone and find the costs vary quite a bit. One company even wanted £995 + Vat to do one book – rip-off!! Your prices seem very competitive so might get back to you when I get my act together.
Thanks Marisa
We’ve seen one company charge £9,000 for the same!
Yes, prices do vary quite considerably. Hopefully we are one of the cheapest but still very professional.
How does it work with pictures? Does it cost more? I would like to illustrate my poems. Thanks
Yes a little, it depends on how many, if they are cropped etc.
Being closely related to an epsilon semi-moron I don’t understand the package ‘deals. Is that for the production of one perfect copy?
Yes, the package costs are for the service. Once done though you can buy as many or as few as you wish at ‘reasonable’ prices per copy.
Hi
We would like to produce a collection of 20 to 30 poems with some narrative and as they are all based on works of Art we would like photographic images so that would be say 35 images (colour).
so 60 to 80 sides of material
We are happy to crop format and set out the material in any format you would like and also we would like to design our own cover.
What sizes do you print in(is it only A5
what would it cost to get to the first proof copy and how much would they cost if we took them in batches of 50 / 100 /200
Thanks Rob
I’ve emailed you 🙂
I have a very similar question! looking at 64 pages with 8 – 10 colour pages of art / photography, the rest poems. What’s the cost of 100 copies and then how does that scale? Assuming you don’t do a print on demand service?
I would to know the cost of publishing my book. It is 250 pages in paperback,
I would require 50 copies to start with plus ebook publishing.
Thank you

hi. i am an artist and would like to print a book with text and colour image on each page- do you do this kind of thing. linda
Yes, but costs are higher with colour pages. I’ve emailed you.
Hi.
Once printed, can you give me an idea of the cost of purchasing additional copies for standard size book, no pics and around 250 pages. Do you have any recommendation as to the amount of printed copies that a new author should initially buy?
Thanks.
Paul
Hi Paul, I’ve emailed you 🙂
I have a Word doc manuscript of a novel i would like in paperback. It would be around 280 pages (TBC) and would be looking at initial print of about 60. I have a jpg cover design already.
Just emailed you 🙂
Excellent prices. Does this include designing a book cover too? Graphic designers want this much for just a basic cover!
I’ve emailed you, but yes you’re right, graphic design is very expensive.
We are a registered charity looking to print a 200 page (400 sides) book. This is predominantly black text on white paper but we will need around 9 pages for colour images and a gloss colour front cover. Please can we have a quote for 250 a5 copies? Do you offer charity discounts?
I’ve emailed you 🙂
Hi there,
I would like to publish a poetry/quote book with images approx 100 pages. I was wondering how much it is per book to order after it has been published?
Many thanks
Julie
Hi Julie
I’ve emailed you 🙂
Cheers Dave
Excellent packages and very low cost considering how much effort goes into publishing a book for someone.
