Things to Consider Before Publishing with Author's Advantage

Prior to submitting your manuscript to the Author's Advantage publishing program, you have the opportunity to request a consultation with your account manager, who will be able to provide you with recommendations for template choices depending upon your publishing goals and preferences. Click here for more information on Manuscript Submission Specifications.

Author's Advantage is only available for titles with black & white interiors. For full color books, please consider the Total Design Freedom Publishing Program.

Once the design process begins, we are able to make up to 100 interior changes. The first 20 changes you request are free. Should you request more than 100 changes, you will be required to resubmit your manuscript. Please view the Changes Policy for more details.

The importance of submitting a manuscript that is comprehensively edited and proofread cannot be stressed enough. Submitting a "final" manuscript is the best way to keep your costs down and shorten your timelines. For more information on BookSurge Editorial Services, click here.

The initial publishing fee of $499 does not include the integration of any images in your book's interior. If you would like to include black & white images inside your book, the following additional fees apply. You may also wish to consider the Total Design Freedom program.

Note: Images include photographs, charts, tables, graphs and any other elements which are not considered text. See our Digital Image Guide for more information.
