What's the cost?

Since every client has unique requirements, we will provide custom prices for each client. Just let us know what you need and we will provide you with an estimate based on your needs. You can browse our royalty packages & author services in the 2020/2021 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 files, then you can save a little money. There's a lot of fine tune work involved in the printing and publishing process.

Browse the list of services below and read about the differences between self-publishing a book or using our book publisher services and contact us if you have any questions.

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.

Most of the new authors/professionals we've worked with went from writing music or blogs to writing books, selling products and earning great royalties. The average time from completed manuscript to print/production ranges from one to three months, depending on each project's specific size, length and/or needs.

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:

  • Amazon (worldwide)
  • Apple/iBooks (worldwide)
  • B&N (USA)
  • Google Play Books (worldwide)
  • KRG Publishing (USA)
  • Scribd (USA)
  • ZOAT Books (USA)

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.

  •  Editing & Proofreading
KRG Publishing offers editing and proofreading services with fast turnaround times at reasonable prices. Our editing rates are based on word count, so you can work out the cost of having your manuscript edited before proceeding.

Correction of grammar, misspelled/misused words, punctuation, syntax and incorrect structure.

We make suggestions where we see opportunity for improvement in subject matter and terminology, order of layout and presentation of data.

  • Book Design & Typesetting
Good book layout is more than just typing your manuscript in Word and saving it in PDF format for your printer. Choosing the right fonts, line spacing, kerning, margins, bleeds, page numbering, and getting headers and footers to work properly can be problem areas for the self-published author.

Do you have lots of images in your book, bullet lists, info boxes, fancy page decorations or other formatting requirements? Let us take care of your book layout for professional, striking results.

  • Customized Cover Design
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but we all know the cover is often the first thing a reader sees before deciding to pick it up. Whether you supply images for your cover, or we find them for you, we will create an elegant or dynamic, eye-catching cover design.

We have hundreds of templates or we can create your custom cover design from scratch, ensuring you have a truly unique cover for your book.

  • eBook Conversion
Due to the growing popularity of eBook readers such as the Kindle, Nook, Kobo and iPad, eBook sales have begun to exceed paperback sales around the world. Your novel or non-fiction book can join in this revolution with our eBook conversion services.

KRG will provide fully tested eBook files in ePub (Nook, Kobo, iPad) and .mobi (Kindle) formats, PDF, as well as resized cover images to be used as thumbnails in the various eBook online stores.

  • Promotional Bookmarks/Bookstubs, Postcards & Posters
Receive professionally designed full-color promotional materials, ready for your favorite printer, or we can arrange printing for you. Using your book’s cover art and sales information, this printed material will be ready to hand out to potential readers, fans and buyers.

• Distribute your promotional materials at industry events such as book fairs and trade shows
• Use them in your direct mail campaigns
• Include them with any merchandise you give away or sell in person

  • Custom Author Websites (Yes, we design websites too.)
Self-published authors need a platform – an online home – where they can promote and sell their books. While seeing your book on the shelves of your favorite bookstore is a thrill all authors should enjoy, the reality is more readers are looking online to discover and buy new titles.

A website blog or online store is an ideal way to build a fan base, by allowing readers to glimpse the lives of their favorite authors – or their favorite book’s characters. Blogs are a versatile and easy to maintain platform, even for those who don’t have web design skills.

Social networking, such as Facebook and Twitter, is also very easy to integrate into our custom websites and can expand your reach to your fan base.

  • Amazon/Ingram Spark Process
Let us help you with the Amazon  or Ingram Spark publishing process, which is extremely time consuming. We can help you by setting up your Amazon Author Central page, or uploading your eBook or paperback file to start selling today. The three main outlets for book sales are Amazon.com, your author website, and having your book in retail stores, all of which we can assist with.

  • Printing
We can assist with selecting the best printer in your area or print-on-demand (POD) service online for your needs, and ensure that your files meet the specific requirements of the chosen printer.

Not quite ready to move forward yet? Need some more advice? No problem! Leave us your name and e-mail, and we will send you free writing resources and specials regarding our services.
