What's the cost?
Authors who join KRG Publishing receive our full publishing services for a sliding scale percentage of all monthly sales. You can browse our industry first sliding scale royalty packages & professional author services in the KRG Publishing Price & Service Guide above.
How much it will cost to get your book in print and determining your book's final unit price depends on what services you need and how big your book is. Most customers have us professionally layout the interior and design the cover, but if you have the capability to do it yourself and provide print-ready .PDF files, then you can save a little money. There's a lot of fine tune work involved in the printing and publishing process.

Getting Paid
Net 60 - We pay you 60 days after we receive all royalties from Amazon. Our publisher fee is a pre-determined % of the NET royalty payment as described in the Price Guide above. This fee includes all pre-production duties (editing, formatting, converting etc.), proper marketing and detailed on-demand reporting and updates. Updates made to your paperback or eBook are billed at just $49/hour.
Publisher vs. Self-Published
As your book publisher, KRG Publishing will handle all the work necessary for publishing your full color paperback/hardback novel, digital eBook, professional business/author website, full color magazine, newspaper, newsletter or audiobook for an agreed % of NET sales. Imagine having your very own industry expert right there for you for all of your publishing needs. Sit back and let us work hard for you by handling, promoting and selling your book to a wide audience and across our growing network.

eBook Publishing Services
We work with authors and small presses to format and convert books into ebooks, and distribute them to all the major ebook retailers including Amazon, Apple, B&N, Google Play, Ingram, Kobo, Scribd, Baker and Taylor and dozens of smaller yet worthwhile retailers and library distribution outlets.
eBook Formatting
The first step in the eBook publishing process is getting your document prepared for ebook conversion. I convert your document to an editable source if necessary, remove page numbers, set margins, rethink the layout for an e-reading device, link the table of contents, and more. This is an important step that determines the overall quality of your ebook. Converting a document into an ebook requires manual editing and formatting to make it function properly and look great. Automated conversions are frequently poorly done and lead to bad reader reviews and poor sales. I will do my best to ensure that doesn't happen to your book.
eBook Conversion
The second step in the eBook publishing process is converting your file into the multiple valid ebook formats (.epub, .mobi, and .pdf) accepted by the retailers (if you already have a converted and validated .epub file ready for distribution, you pay a one-time fee of just $45 for the submission and distribution of the file). We check your converted eBook for quality. You can always use an extra set of eyes looking over your book before it is published. While we convert your book, we correct any obvious errors we see along the way. When the files are converted, we open your eBook on ebook reader simulators to ensure the converted files look professional.
eBook Distribution
The third step of the ebook publishing process is getting your book out there where readers can easily find it. Through our major online book retailer and library partners and our relationship with Ingram Digital, your eBook will be sold in the online stores that currently account for over 98% of all eBooks sold*. These partners currently include:
We can assign your book an ISBN (if it needs one): An "ISBN" is a unique identifying number for your book that is required for some retailers to keep track of sales data and book information—and a listing in Bowker's Books in Print database, which will allow all booksellers to easily find your book. There is no extra charge for these numbers.
* We can guarantee that your book(s) will be submitted to and made available to all these retailers, but it remains at the retailer's discretion which books they choose to carry. Virtually all the retailers, especially the major ones are not selective but some are.
We also offer a variety of self-publishing author services that you will find below if you choose to go the self-published route, which may or may not be the best option for you.
