Why Most Cost Comparisons Are Misleading

Publishing packages are not equal at the same price. A budget plan from one company means file conversion and upload. A $1,499 plan from us means a named editor, professional cover design, global distribution to 30+ retailers, and you keep every dollar your book earns. Compare what is included, not just the number.

Publishing Cost Comparison

Included From What You Keep
Formatting + Upload Only $199 - $490 Royalties minus platform cut (35 - 70% to you)
