Is this you?
Most authors try two or three routes before one works.
Upload sites leave the cover, the formatting and the listing to you. Some publishers keep a share of every sale for years. Local printers price small runs high, and big orders bring freight, storage and delivery to several sites, all left for you to manage.
We take each of those off your desk for one flat fee, written into your agreement before you pay.
Compare your options
The same book can reach readers three ways. Here is what each one asks of you.
| Upload it yourself | Royalty-share publisher | Columbia Publication | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You: cover, formatting, listing | The publisher | One specialist, start to finish |
| Your royalties | 100%, after you do the work | A share kept by the publisher | 100% yours |
| What you pay | Your time, plus any freelancers | Low upfront, paid back from your sales | A flat fee from $1,499, in writing |
| Printed copies in bulk | Order and ship them yourself | Depends on the contract | Any quantity, to one site or several |
| Accounts and files | Yours | Check the contract | Yours, in writing |
Many authors publish first and order printed copies for events later. One specialist can price both in the same quote.
