Your book's price, right now.

Answer a few questions and watch the number appear. No account, no card, no waiting a day to hear back.

You don't need to know anything about printing. Anything you're unsure of, leave as it is — we'll recommend it, and a real person reads every book that comes to us.

Your book

Your best estimate is good enough — nothing here is binding.

What kind of book is it?

Roughly 250 words to a page — a 60,000-word novel is about 240 pages.
Only the pages that actually print in color. A book can be 240 black & white pages and 16 color ones — you pay the color rate on those 16 only.
100 copies minimum — order as many more as you like. The price per book drops at 200, 500 and 1,000.

Fill in your page counts above and your price appears right here — instantly, no waiting.

Your price includes all of this. No publishing fee. No package to buy.

Professional interior formatting · your cover designed · ISBNs for the print and eBook editions · printed proofs · your eBook editions · Amazon, bookstore and worldwide distribution set up · and your 100 copies.

How it's made

Every one of these moves the price above — and every one is already set to what most books use. Change nothing and you'll be right.

Hardcover? Say so in the notes below and we'll price it for you personally.

This is an estimate from what you've told us. It firms up as your book takes shape, and it never changes again once you place your order. You pay nothing until you hold a printed proof in your hands and sign the publishing agreement.

An open book radiating light — you tell us about your book, we show you the price, your book begins.

What does it cost?

Elsewhere, publishing packages run into the thousands of dollars — paid before a single book is printed. Biblio Nova doesn't work that way.

There is no publishing fee and no package to buy. You simply order the first printing of your own book — 100 copies or more — and the work of publishing comes with it: formatting, cover design, ISBNs, your printed proof, eBook editions, and worldwide distribution setup. All included with your first printing, with no extra costs.

Your quote is the cost of your books. It's calculated from your book's own specs — page count, size, color, binding — for your first printing. Volume discounts begin at 200 copies. That's the whole model.

And you pay when your book is real. Payment happens only when you approve your printed proof — a real book in your hands — and sign the publishing agreement. Until that moment, you owe nothing.

Your rights & royalties

You own your work. Publishing with Biblio Nova never takes your copyright — your book remains yours, always.

Our license is non-exclusive. You're free to pursue other opportunities for your work; we never lock your book away.

You earn on every sale. You receive a royalty on every copy sold through our distribution — print and eBook alike.

Paid on a regular schedule. Royalties are paid out regularly; small balances simply carry forward to your next payment.

The full terms are spelled out in the publishing agreement you review and sign before your book is published — in plain language, with a real person to answer questions.
