Simple and straight-forward pricing for easy self-publishing.
We have made our pricing as transparent as possible because we know there are lots of vanity publishers and sneaky businesses out there who like to rip off aspiring authors. Grrrr.
Don't feel disheartened if you've been hearing 'no thanks' from lots of book publishing companies - we promise you can self-publish successfully! We love helping authors who are just starting off (to help them get that story out of their head and into a book!) or who just need a little extra oomph to get their books looking slick and professional.
Our Become-An-Author Package starts from just £1,100 and includes all of your picture illustrations, manuscript editing, publishing management and printing. You can choose to start with 10, 100 or 1000 books depending on how brave you feel!
If already have your book artwork ready to go, you can always choose our Book Only Package which starts from only £460 - easy peasy!
