Pricing
Producing a professionally designed commercially targeted book can be costly. However set up costs for your book can vary depending on who you approach and 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 costs to have your publication edited, designed and prepared for print. Printing costs are separate.
EDITING - prices can start around $200 and up, dependent on the word length of your particular publication. Swirld Books would make sure to match you with an editor to suit your type of publication.

The SWIRLD 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!

Pre design: Full editing of your text (2 run throughs) for copy and style. Plus cover blurb and prelim pages editing ($600)
Layout: File set-up time/any photo editing time
Full design layout, ready for print
10 small, one colour line illustrations
Free cover design
1 set of colour proofs. (client checks these before print and signs them off)
Final pre-press set up time ready for print

Total costs: $1950 (includes editing)
The initial meeting with a client and a design template (a sample of the layout and design elements of your book's style or 'look) are charged separately, before the project goes ahead. Also any extra changes requested during the production are charged at SWIRLD'S standard charge out rate of $40 per hour.
Swirld books can also source printing solutions for you when you are ready to go to press - using a print broker who works hard to find the lowest price and best quality print options from his extensive network based in New Zealand.
