Fast Facts

Average Costs

Traditional Publishing

Traditional Publishing

 

The average cost for an author to self-publish a book is between $2,500 - $5,000 and that is without starting your own publishing company. I was able to self-publish 12 books in 7 different genres in 1 year, and start a publishing business spending only $2,500.

Traditional publishing would cost you even more, your royalties would only be 10-15% of your book sales, which is why some people choose to self-publish. Also, finding a publisher can be a long and daunting process since they have to agree to publish your work. However, having a big publishing company behind your name guarantees sales and a well balanced marketing plan. These are the pros and cons.
