We take great pride in being able to offer a highly
affordable package to make self-publishing your book a breeze. To
determine the cost to self-publish your book, please send us your
manuscript via an email attachment. We need to briefly analyze
it to learn the extent of the layout that will be necessary. Once
we have this information, we can quickly send you a price quote
for your first 50 books.

- Initial print-run of 50 or more soft-covered books, high-quality
digital press

the paperwork

PUBLISHING ESTIMATE
To publish your book, there are two fees involved:
1) ONE-TIME PRODUCTION COSTS include: Your cover
design, the interior layout of your book, ISBN number, barcode,
any pictures, tables, or graphs within your book, and printer and
publication set-up fees. If you already own your own ISBN or barcode,
those amounts are subtracted from the production costs. Additionally,
your copyright is $45, which is paid directly to the Library of
Congress. Send us your manuscript so we can do a quick text flow
to determine the production costs.
2) PRICE PER BOOK FEES. Once your book has been
designed by our graphic designers, and once your production costs
are covered, the only cost you will have any time you want to order
copies of your book is the price-per-book fee below, plus shipping.
(Shipping is always an additional charge.) Here are the current
price-per-book fees for a book with a full color cover and
a black and white interior. Color interiors are also available.
Let us know if you want a quote for a color interior.

The Fine Print
When you publish through Author One Stop, YOU own your book.
Unlike most self-publishing companies that require exclusive
rights to your book, Author One Stop prefers that YOU own your book.
That means that if you want to shop your book to a traditional publisher
down the road, you can do that. In fact, we can even help you to
do that.
Author One Stop is the owner of the ISBN. As the
law currently stands (and as we understand it), no publisher can
legally transfer an ISBN to you. This law is currently being challenged,
however, for now, we must act as the owner of the ISBN. You can
use the ISBN we provide for you as long as you publish through Author
One Stop. You are welcome to buy your own ISBN, however, another
new ISBN will be issued if you sell your book to a traditional publisher
or if you choose another online publishing source down the road.
Any time an ISBN changes, you lose your current Amazon ranking.
If you feel it is important to own the ISBN for your book, you can
purchase one at Bowkers.
They will charge you slightly more for a single ISBN than we do.
Never purchase an ISBN from a source other than Bowkers. If you
choose to purchase your own ISBN, you will be responsible for all
aspects of its registration.
YOU are responsible for all shipping costs of your books
at all times.
Price per book fees are subject to change
only if the printer’s fees ever go up.
If you need to make changes to the cover or interior
of your book any time after your manuscript has been finalized
and uploaded to the printer, additional printer and graphic design
charges will be applied.
Let us edit your book! Prior to starting the
publishing process, be sure your book is professionally edited.
Our team of top-rated editors is available to help you.
Call us at (831) 726-3153 for more information,
or send us an email.
YOUR COVER DESIGN
Your book is your baby, and your baby is going to
be in great hands with our graphics and production team. We provide
high quality cover design, layout, pagination and production services.
Just look at these credentials:

Mary Jo Zazueta has been providing professional
guidance to self-publishing authors for twelve years. Among her
many services are cover and interior designs, registration management
(ISBN, LCCN, CIP), title and subtitle development, advance review
copies, and print management.
