Services & Pricing
Every job is different, but you can use the costs listed here to start a budget.
I believe in transparency and aim to give you a good sense of what to expect your project will cost. But the best way to set a reliable budget is to work together to figure out what the job entails according to your goals and what’s possible.

DESIGN PRICE LIST
Book Publishing
Here’s what I do for standard prose manuscripts, which are generally 30,000 – 90,000 words in conventional paragraph and chapter format. The pricing here is meant to provide a ballpark and a list of services, but I can quickly provide you with an exact quote once we review the project together.

This package includes everything you need to transform your finished manuscript into a published book. My goal is to make the publishing journey smooth and enjoyable, so you’ll never feel lost or unsure along the way.

Author Website
I build author websites that cover everything you might need—whether that’s something simple like a Facebook page, a blog to share your work, or a full eCommerce site optimized for search.
