How do you price your services?
Most of our book production services are priced on a per-page basis for the finished book. Rates depend on the complexity of your project. Here's a few things to keep in mind:
-
A fiction book with no sidebars and special treatments would merit our lowest typesetting rate.
-
A nonfiction book with sidebars, pulled quotes, tables, and charts would require more design and formatting time -- and so, we would charge a higher typesetting rate.
-
We have an additional rate for footnotes since they require extra time to format, place, and re-align after each proof.
-
On the other hand, we normally don't charge for author's alterations. We want our clients to read proofs thoroughly and are happy to make alterations that improve the book.
-
Editing rates are higher than proofreading rates. In the editing phase, the editor is often dealing with unedited material that requires an eye for grammar, punctuation, consistency, organization, and sentence readability. This is more
time-consuming than proofreading, which is a quick read of typeset pages to catch last-minute typos and inconsistencies.
We offer variable rates depending on the specifications of your project. We really need to talk with you about the nature of your project to give you an accurate quote. After we have some details about your project, we can prepare a quote for
you, specifying all the options, so you can see what everything costs and select just the services you need.
