Additional Services to Make Your Book the Best It Can Be
Fiction/Nonfiction Editing: $110/10k words
If your book hasn’t been edited, it needs to be. Simply put, professional editing makes your book better. Through our editing process, we pull out all the tricks to make sure your story flows well and keeps the reader engaged. Not sure if it’s worth having professional editing? Email us 1,000 words of your book and we’ll show what our editing can do for your story—for free.
Children's Book Editing: $250
Most picture books have 1,000 words or fewer. That means every word counts. With this add-on, our professional editors will edit your entire manuscript five or more times to make sure every word is just right. Wonder what professional editing could do for your story? Email us your manuscript for a free sample.
Illustrations: $250+
Need an illustrator for your book? We’ve got you covered, and we’ll do it within your budget. Prices for children’s picture book illustrations start at $450. Want some custom illustrations to sprinkle throughout your picture book or middle grade novel? Prices start at $250. Prices depends on your budget and amount and style of art desired.
Additional Image Placement: $50 per 12
Have a fiction or nonfiction book with more than 20 pictures? We can accomodate that.
Copyright: $110
Your book is copyrighted the moment you write it. For that reason, many never file for an official copyright with the US Copyright Office. For those who do, we’ve created an easy-to-follow video that shows how. Rather have us do it? No problem!
