EBOOK PRICING
Writing Nights prefers simple, transparent pricing.
eBOOK CREATION:
We'll take text in any of our approved source document formats and present you with a flowable eBook—either a mobi or epub file—in return.This costs $300.
Source document formats Writing Nights accepts include: Word, Pages, RTF, HTML, PDF, TXT, Indesign. Please schedule a consultation if you have some other format.
We provide three revisions, so you can tweak font, paragraph spacing, text color, as well as catch any typos you (and in rare cases us) may have introduced.
If you are a Publishing 2.0 neophyte, we're happy to speak with you about expectations, what eBooks can, and cannot do, as well as the idiosyncrasies of the various eBook marketplaces.
BOOK DESIGN - PRINT ON DEMAND FORMATTING:
What we do is not just print formatting. We do Book Design. We format files for Amazon's Kindle Direct Print, CreateSpace, IngramSparks, Lulu and quite a few other POD printers. Formatting for Print on Demand is its own special discipline, requiring that books not only be formatted professionally, but that they be formatted to the chicane specifications of each printer. CreateSpace regulations are very different from say Lulu regulations.Book design costs $500.
TAILORED COVERS:
We create your cover and format for the printer or marketplace where your book will be available. eBooks only have front covers. Printed books have front covers, rear covers, and a spine.We will provide you with two mockups from your design brief. And we will revise your choice of mockup up to 3 times at this price point. Additional revisions attract hourly pricing. Changing the design brief mid-design means we are creating a new cover, and bill accordingly. We're happy to provide source files for covers for an additional payment equal to 100% of the price of the cover.
Front cover costs $400
Rear and spine costs $200
PDF to eBOOK CONVERSION:
Writing Nights will conver your PDF to flowable eBook. Price is dependent on the complexity of the source material. Matieral with multiple bulleted lists, or nested bulleted lists, or nested numbered lists is more expensive than a magazine style publication. Most PDF conversion jobs start at $400.IMAGES
Images are often the hardest part of formatting an eBook.Contrary to prevailing wisdom, word count, page count, and book length aren't particularly important variables when coding an eBook. What factors are the number of elements that need formatting. An 1,800 page book with 18 chapters is easier to format, and less time intensive, than a 180 page book with 50 chapter headings and 45 subheadings.
If your file has 10-15 images, we charge an additional $50.
If your file has 15-20 images, we charge an additional $75.
If your file has 20-50 images we charge an additional $100.
If your file has more than 50 images, we're happy to work out a custom rate for you.
