Christian Living Books does not charge separate fees for each facet of book production. The majority of authors we work with require most, if not all, of the typical services we provide to deliver a top-notch, professionally finished book. We take your manuscript and deliver a beautiful product, hassle free. You leave the work to us and we bring your dreams to fruition. We are helpful, knowledgeable, and quick.

Below is a chart that presents the costs for producing the typical perfect-bound, paperback book. Hardcover binding will cost at least $2.90 more per copy. Pictures, artwork, illustrations, and the like will have additional fees. These prices cover the following, normal specifications:

5 ½" x 8 ½" Trim size; Professional, 4-color original cover design with a protective high-gloss finish; Copy editing; Page design and typesetting;drafts for customer approval; Printing; Copyright; Distribution and Fulfillment.

To read the chart, determine the number of pages your finished, printed book will be. One double-spaced page of the manuscript — formatted the way we suggest — usually makes about 1½ typeset pages of the book.

Our minimum press run is 1,000 copies.
