Book Production Services

We offer a full range of book production services, including Original Photography, Interior Content Design / Typesetting, Custom Cover Design, and Editorial Proofreading / Revision Services.

We produce each title according to the author’s specifications. We don’t use templates. We create an original cover and text arrangement for every title we publish.

Our pre-press services are individually priced to allow authors to choose only the services they need to get their book into production. Below is a detailed list of our pre-press services and prices followed by a Summarized Production Chart:

$650.00 US / UK Print On Demand Title Set Up Fee. (1 time)

This is our cost to get a title into full POD distribution in both US and UK markets. This provides the ability to deliver (1) copy of your book to any shipping location on the planet. Includes listing your title in Ingram’s ‘Book In Print’ catalog, where it’s available at wholesale to ANY bookseller in the world, listings at both Barnes and Noble.com and Amazon.com, and listing your title on www.rev-press.com for direct distribution to the public. This also includes (1) first edition Proof Copy of your book for approval.

$12.00 Per Year Archive Fee per Title.

This is the yearly cost of archiving your title in our POD database.

$85.00 ISBN / Barcode Creation and Registration.

For your title to be sold through booksellers and national distribution channels it needs an International Standard Book Number. This is a unique identification number specifically used to track books around the world. An ISBN is not required to publish a book, but it is required for that title to be sold through bookstores.

$1.25 - $2.50 Per Page Typesetting.

We will create your text block (typeset and interior content creation and design) for $1.25 - $2.50 per page. A typesetter will quote the exact cost per page after viewing your manuscript.) If you are willing and able to create your own text block in a pdf to our printer’s specifications, then you can save on your production cost by doing it yourself.

$1.25 Per Page Professional Editorial/Proof-reading Charge.

We can have your manuscript proof-read for all spelling, grammar, and clarity for $1.25 per page. We can also show you how to get your manuscript proof-read absolutely free of charge (providing you know a high-school English teacher, or 5 literate people you trust to search the manuscript for errors.)

$40.00 Per Hour Custom Cover Design.

We will create a ONE OF A KIND cover for your book---literally. We can say that because we do not use templates. Each and every cover we produce is an original creation (usually a combination of the author’s original vision and the creativity of our award winning book cover designers.) See our book cover gallery for samples of our work. We charge $40 per hour, with the average cover taking 5 hours to complete. If you have some graphic art experience with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel Draw, or comparable graphic design program and you are willing and able to create your own cover template in a high-res (300 dpi) Tiff file created to our printer’s specifications, you can save on your production costs by doing the work yourself.

So what’s the bottom line production cost on a title? Some people require more than others to get their title produced, but an author with their own ISBN number and the ability to create their own textblock and cover template can get their title into production for as little as $662.00. The average is about $950. Below is a summary of production charges:
