Hardcover Publishing Services
Our hardcover option is included in our Premier Pro Publishing Package and is offered as an add-on to our Premier, Select and Poetry Publishing Packages.
The hardcover book features a durable cloth binding, an embossed spine, and a full-color dust jacket. The additional space provided by the interior of the dust jacket allows us to print descriptive copy about your book and your author biography on the inside flaps, while the back cover may include, for example, excerpts of reviews or endorsements. Your hardcover edition will be assigned a unique ISBN.
Please note: The hardcover format requires a minimum of 104 pages in the final printed format.
Hardcover Purchase Process:
- You can purchase the hardcover option for your book when purchasing your Premier, Select or Poetry Publishing Package or you may purchase it later as an upgrade option. (The hardcover option is automatically included at no charge in the Premier Pro purchasing process.)
- Please keep in mind that hardcover books are available in two trim sizes: 5.5" x 8.5" or 6" x 9". If you choose to publish the paperback version of your book in a trim size other than 5.5" x 8.5" or 6" x 9", an additional fee will be required to reformat your book to match one of the two available hardcover trim sizes. Please contact your Publishing Consultant or your PSA for more information.
- You will then be prompted to provide an excerpt of a book review or endorsement for the back cover of the dust jacket.
- During book production you will be given the opportunity to proof both the paperback and hardcover editions for their look and feel and suggest changes as appropriate.
- In addition to the paperback copies included in your publishing package, you will receive one free author copy of your hardcover edition.
