Publishing Packages for Full-Color Books
Choose from three full-color publishing packages designed to support your goals, from an affordable way to get published to our most complete publishing and marketing support.
Every package includes professional book design, ISBN assignment, print-on-demand fulfillment, global distribution, and book marketing resources.
Up to 5 author-provided interior image insertions
You can provide up to 5 interior images for insertion into your book at no additional cost with the Economy package.
Author-provided interior images can include color or black-and-white photos, illustrations, charts, diagrams, or other visuals that enhance your content.
Additional author-provided image insertions can be added if needed (additional fees apply).
eBook edition included ($599 value)
Your eBook edition is professionally created and distributed worldwide alongside your printed book.
Readers can preview and discover your book through:
- Google Books Preview
- Barnes & Noble Read Instantly
- Amazon “Search Inside the Book”
This increases your book’s visibility and gives potential readers a chance to engage before they buy.
Hardback editions available (dust-jacket or laminate)
Both laminate and dust-jacket hardback editions are available with the Ultimate package.
Laminate hardbacks feature a printed cover bonded directly to the case, offering a durable and streamlined finish.
Dust-jacket hardbacks include a removable printed jacket wrapped around a clothbound case, with titles printed on the spine — ideal for a more traditional, bookstore-quality presentation.
This flexibility allows you to choose the style that best fits your book’s audience and positioning.
Dust-jacket hardbacks are often preferred for retail and gift-ready books.
Additional fees apply for hardback upgrades.

Laminate hardback edition available
Laminate hardback editions are available with the Basic package.
