Get Started

Book publishing services for independent authors

Nova Publishers offers every service a book needs between the manuscript and the reader: editing, cover design, interior formatting, printing, ISBN registration, distribution, audiobooks, book trailers, author websites, PR and ghostwriting. The same in-house team handles all of it, so your editor, designer and project manager work from one schedule.

You can buy these services two ways. A package covers the whole job at one fixed price, from Launch at $999 for an ebook to Elite at $5,499 for a full launch with an audiobook, a book trailer and marketing. A single service covers one part, such as a cover from $600 or formatting from $450, for authors who already have the rest in hand.

Whichever you choose, your book is published through your own retailer accounts, you keep 100% of your retailer royalties, and your price is fixed in your quote before any work starts.

Questions about Nova's publishing services

What services does Nova Publishers offer?

Nova Publishers offers book editing, cover design, interior formatting, printing, ISBN registration, distribution, audiobook production, book trailers, author websites, PR and marketing, and ghostwriting, as packages from $999 or as single services from $450.

Should I buy a package or single services?

A Nova Publishers package covers the whole job on one schedule and usually costs less than the same services bought one at a time. Single services suit authors who already have part of the work done, such as an edited manuscript or a finished cover.

Can I add services later?

Yes, you can add services to a Nova Publishers project at any point, for example an audiobook after the print edition, or marketing after launch. Each addition gets its own fixed quote.

Does Nova work with books that are already published?

Yes, Nova Publishers works with authors who are already on Amazon and want a print edition, IngramSpark distribution to bookstores and libraries, an audiobook, a new cover or a relaunch.

How much does book editing cost?

Book editing at Nova Publishers is included in every package, and Copy & Developmental Editing on its own starts from $1,500. Launch ($999) includes a copy edit and proofread, Launch Pro ($1,899) adds a flow, pacing and continuity edit and a line edit, and Elite ($5,499) adds a dedicated developmental edit.

What's the difference between developmental, line and copy editing?

At Nova Publishers, developmental editing works on structure, character, argument and pacing, line editing works on the clarity and rhythm of each sentence, and copy editing and proofreading fix grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency. You get tracked changes after each layer and accept or reject every change yourself.
