Bookstore Returns $75 account deposit
Most bookstores will not stock a book unless it is returnable. If you plan to approach bookstores to carry your book, or request them to order a quantity prior to a book talk, you will need to provide for the return of unsold books, at your expense. We can partner with you in this process by holding a $75 Returns Account to cover any expenses incurred.
Other Possible Design and Production Expenses
Complex Table of Contents $35
You may be charged an additional design fee for a multi-level, specially designed table of contents.
Manuscript Copy (final printout) $35
A printed copy of your entire book mailed to you for editing and final proofing. This is often helpful to authors who prefer to review and provide corrections to a paper document than reviewing and providing corrections electronically.
Index or Glossary $.015 / word
Indexing of characters, events and other necessary notations is available for additional charge.
Bibliography, Footnotes or Endnotes (request quote)
Special formatting for Bibliography, Footnotes at the bottom of the page, or endnotes at the conclusion of the book may require special formatting. Fees determined by quantity, style and placement.
Securing Permission to Reprint Copyrighted Material
$75 per text block
You must request permission from the publisher to quote long excerpts from another author’s book, even if you give credit to that person (many books are owned by the publisher, not the author!). You can do this yourself, or River Sanctuary Publishing can do this for you. This is a time-consuming process, so allow 3-4 months in advance of when you would like to publish your book. Many publishing houses charge fees for the privilege of quoting from their works, so expect additional fees of up to $100 per quote.
Revisions/changes after printed proof copy
$50 per cover or interior submission
After a printed copy is received, any revision is subject to a printer’s charge to replace the digital file in their system. Editing charges will also be accrued at $50 per one hour minimum + $20/half hour increments beyond the initial hour.
Catalog Fees for Full Market Availability
First year complementary; $18/year thereafter
If you elect to have your book activated for full market distribution (i.e., availability to a host of online retailers including Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and many more), River Sanctuary Publishing pays a catalog fee on your behalf for the first year. Each year thereafter, you will receive a letter from us requesting an payment of $18 to continue your listing in the master digital catalog.
