Because we use on-demand printing, there are no up-front printing/binding charges. Printing, shipping, and handling will be included in the sale price of each book. Books will be in the standard 6 x 9-inch format unless another format is required for mechanical reasons. The following formats are available:
B&W

Payment of 50 percent of the estimated publication cost is due when upon delivery of the signed author contract. The remaining 50 percent plus any unanticipated charges will be due when the book has passed its final review and is turned over to the printer.
