Pricing
Producing a professionally designed commercially targeted book can be costly. Set up costs for your book can vary depending on who you approach. At Swirld Books we like to think we are competitvely priced to make it as affordable as possible to get your book in print.
SET UP COSTS
Are the initial one-off costs to have your publication edited, designed and prepared for print. Printing costs are separate.
EDITING
In the editing/design package, professional Editing services will include 2 full editing checks, formatting and text creation for e.g. cover blurb and front prelim pages of your book.
Prices can start around $200 and up, dependent on the word length of your particular publication. We would also make sure to match you with an editor to suit your type of publication.
PRINTING
Printing solutions can be sourced for you when you are ready to go to press - Swirld Books can organise printing and uses a print broker who works hard to find the lowest price and best quality print options from his extensive network in New Zealand. (Sourcing and providing print prices are included in the editing and design package).

EDITING & DESIGN PACKAGE
We offer a great competitively priced editing and design package . This package provides a better deal for clients than it would sourcing these services separately, as discounts apply. It also offers extra services such as some illustrations and a cover design included in the package. And importantly takes you from manuscript to print ready - speeding up the process for you!

Full editing of your text (2 run throughs) for copy and style. Plus cover blurb and prelim pages ($600).
Design and production:
File set-up time/any photo editing time
Full design layout, ready for print
10 small, one colour line illustrations
Free cover design
