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 professional cover design, full formatting, global distribution to 30+ retailers, and you keep every dollar your book earns. Compare what is included, not just the number.
These are one-time production costs. For how that investment compares to a traditional publisher's royalty split over the life of a book, see the full self-publishing vs traditional publishing breakdown.
| Included | From | What You Keep |
|---|---|---|
| Formatting + Upload Only | $199 - $490 | Royalties minus platform cut (35 - 70% to you) |
| Professional Publishing (CP T2) | From $1,499 | 100% of royalties, 100% of rights |
| Full Production + PM (CP T3) | From $2,499 | 100% of royalties, 100% of rights |
| Authority Book Package (CP T4) | From $4,999 | 100% of royalties, 100% of rights |
