Pricing & royalties
It’s impossible to sell books that are priced way above the average market price. When you self-publish with the Write Place, you decide the retail price of your book and your royalty.
The only set price per book is the printing cost: you determine the royalty, wholesale cost (cost at which the retailer can buy it), and the retail price.
Sample retail price for a 200-page, black-and-white interior, color cover, perfect-bound paperback book
- Printing: $5.01
- Royalty: $1.99
- Wholesale: $7.00
- Retail: $14.00
Printing
The majority of books self-published with the Write Place are printed using a print-on-demand process. This means that you can buy one at a time or a hundred at a time. The upfront costs are lower—and you don’t have to store a thousand books in your basement.
