Estimating what your costs will be
Estimating the cost of a book is part art, part science.
Preparation costs
We have put together four different charts to allow you estimate the costs of
self-publishing with WritersPrintshop:
- Estimate the number of pages - The cost
of publication and printing depends on the number of pages - don't
forget to add about 10 pages for the preliminaries. You might have to make
an allowance for
illustrations and charts.
- Work out the cost to set up your
book - this includes the proof stage and details such as legal deposit
that WPS takes care of for you.
- Work out the cost to design your
book
- Look up the unit cost for books
delivered to you. The books are also sold through bookshops and Amazon where
you set the price and retail margin.
This is a remarkable service which makes it easy for you to publish and
distribute your own book. You can contact us if
you need more details or are ready to order and there is a page with
payment options.
Marketing costs
Marketing and promotion can use a bottomless trunk of gold. But there are
other ways to do get your book noticed.
It is possible to do it yourself. WPS
is the place to come if you have a serious project to present to the wider
market.
We have worked out the cost for a paperback, an A4-sized paperback, a
hardback and a cloth-bound copy with dust jacket. Check the full list of the
formats available.
Notes
 | We often ask you to pay 50% of the estimate when submitting the work,
depending on the publication plan. |
| Every book and every project is unique so we will provide a detailed quote
with some sample pages and designs once we have seen the work. |
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if there is any further information
you need. We look forward to helping you publish your work.
Every attempt has been made to convey accurate information.
However, we reserve the right to amend the prices. Please
contact us if you want to check the costs.
Estimates are a perishable commodity, so do not expect them to be the same in 12
months.
The prices include appropriate UK taxes.
