The Author Proof Package

$299.00

Includes: Professional formatting, cover design, and 1 Standard Paperback (up to 200 pages).

(Note: Higher page counts will incur an additional fee if printing in color.)

This is the "soft launch." It allows you to verify your work in a physical format without any long-term commitment.

What We Do:

  • Professional Interior Design: We format your manuscript into industry-standard book sizes (e.g., 6x9, 5.5x8.5, or 8.5x11).

  • Cover Creation: We integrate your provided art, author bio, and title into a print-ready full cover.

  • Production & Shipping: We handle the file uploads and ship your physical author copy directly to you.

Risk-Free Submission Guarantee: We review every project manually to ensure it meets technical and content standards. If for any reason we cannot accept your manuscript (e.g., copyright conflicts or technical issues), we will issue a 100% refund immediately. You are never charged for a book we can't print.

What happens next is up to you

When the book arrives at your door, you are in control.

  • End the journey here: You are welcome to stop at Step 1. You own the book and can simply continue ordering author copies for friends and family.

  • Continue the journey: You can choose to upgrade to Step 2 if you decide you are ready to sell your work to the world.
