Pricing
EBook Listing Services gives you a fixed price, with no surprises or extra charges for everything listed here.
We will convert your manuscript into a print book and an ebook that is available for sale on Amazon, and available for sale in other outlets if you desire.
We work closely with you during all stages of the book/ebook development, explain choices and help you decide on the best course, and basically are available for anything you need.
If you wish, we will give guidance to how to learn to do the publishing process yourself so you can become independent with your writing career.
Read about our services below to find what we will do for you and why you may want to work with us.

If you prefer to do registrations yourself, we will show you how.

You will have at least 30 designs to choose from, and usually 60 or more.
You can receive updated covers incorporating your suggestions to get EXACTLY what you want.
.
INTERIOR PRINT AND EBOOK
We use hand-formatting to get your book and ebook to look EXACTLY right. Special effects are no problem.
YOU ARE THE PUBLISHER
Unlike most so-called self-publishing companies (subsidy, hybrid, cooperative, and a million other names), you retain full ownership and control of your book and ebook at all times.
The ISBN is registered to you or your company. We help you to create a company and a logo if you desire.
MARKETING
While we don’t do marketing, we know a lot and can give you detailed, personalized suggestions you can use to market your book.
CATEGORIES AND SEO OPTIMIZATION
You want your book to be found by your readers. We will optimize your categories and keywords so your reader can more easily find you.
LISTING
We will list your book/ebook on Amazon and other places if desired.
We will set up system so you receive payment from book sales directly into your bank account.
AFTER THE BOOK IS PUBLISHED
We’ll show you how to order books for yourself (very easy!) and manage your book professionally.
After the book/ebook are published we will deliver all of your formatted files to you so that you can do future work on your book without having to reinvent the wheel.
We don’t leave you adrift. You are always welcome to contact us with questions even years after we’ve worked together.
REGISTRATION IN LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND US COPYRIGHT OFFICE
Registrations are an optional service.
Library of Congress: Having your book in the LOC makes it eligible to be in public libraries.
US Copyright Office: Your book is automatically copyrighted to you. Registering in the US Copyright Office gives legal proof of what and when your words were available.
Note that I can show you how to do LOC and copyright registration if you’d rather do it yourself.
AUDIO BOOKS
We can create an audio book. Prices vary depending on how we do it. We’ll talk about options and agree on a fair price for services.
WHY DO I RUN MY BUSINESS THIS WAY?
I meet many authors at writing conferences, and have heard many sad stories about authors spending thousands of dollars and ending up with a basement full of books.
As an author myself I truly respect the effort and time it’s taken to create your masterpiece, and I want you to have a positive publishing experience to celebrate your work.
I started this company because I wanted to give authors a better alternative than subsidy companies. I try to publish every single client the way I would publish my mother or myself.
