Publishing Options

We offer several publishing options. The one you choose will determine the format and distribution possibilities of your book. The first step is to combine your dissertation into a single document and convert it into an Adobe Acrobat PDF file. Once it is in PDF format, it can be distributed it in both electronic and paperback formats, depending on the option you choose below. Or, if you send us your manuscript in MS Word format, we can transform your typescript into a professional-looking book layout with a custom designed cover.

Publish your work in eBook and/or paperback editions. Authors earn royalties from 10% to 20%. Just submit your work in Acrobat PDF file format with a completed Submission Form and Publishing Agreement. Once published, you will receive royalties for ebook copies when sold. For an additional fee, you can make your work also available in a paperback edition. The layout of paperback edition is identical to the PDF edition, but in perfect bound, 7.44" x 9.69" trade paperback format. See our newest option at the bottom for the most professional presentation. We can transform your typescript to a book layout so your manuscript looks more like a professional publication than a private monograph. Our designers can create a custom designed cover with beautiful artwork, retypeset, format, and paginate your manuscript in 6" x 9" format for just a few hundred dollars.

The standard ebook option provides for ebook distribution from our we"bsite. Since most major booksellers do not sell "ebook only" titles, choosing the paperback option will make your work available in hundreds of other bookselling venues. The cover art and formatting options are primarily for aesthetic purposes. However, a more professional layout lends credibility and increases interest in already praiseworthy work.
