WritersPrintshop is run by writers and designed to deliver a
quality package to other writers.
 |
Every book is unique, so we do not have standard packages or
templates to which you have to conform. |
|
|
Each book is designed, working with you, your target market and the contents
in mind. (You can design your own) |
|
|
As our system delivers books to the bookshops, we want to ensure
that your book gets into the hands of readers, it look good. |
But, three examples of costing:
 | A 244 page paperback novel |
| The total cost of designing and publishing 100 copies would be about
£600. After that copies would cost about £4. |
| Assuming a price of £7.99 and normal margins, you would break even after 375 sales
through retail outlets. However you would need to sell only 160 copies yourself at book signings
to move into profit. |
| A 64 page paperback of poetry, short stories or a novel for young
adults. |
| The total cost of publishing would be about £480. |
| 200 copies would cost about £500 delivered to your door. |
| You would need to sell only 140 copies of your book direct to readers to
move into profit. Assuming a price of around £6.99 and standard retail margins, you would break
even after 230 copies if you left it to Amazon to sell your book. |
| A 244 page hardback with dust jacket, such as a family history for private
distribution. |
| The total cost of publishing and printing 50 copies would be about £1000. |
| Extra copies could be ordered for about £8 each. |
Please note:
 |
The estimate includes all the costs to produce a published book. The major
cost is the typesetting and layout of the book plus the cover design. |
|
|
The estimate also includes the cost of registering your book with
wholesalers and web retailers. So, once published, the book would be available
worldwide through normal and online bookshops unless you opted for private
distribution. |
|
|
Because we have arrangements to sell your work worldwide you might be in
for a pleasant surprise when you discover your international sales. |
|
|
You can also order copies, with no minimum order, directly through
WritersPrintShop at a price agreed with you. |
|
|
All the figures are based on recent experience. (June 2009) |
WritersPrintShop is about delivering your book to those who
will appreciate it. A quality product, linked into the book distribution system
at realistic prices.
