A cooperative publishing package with New Dominion Press ranges in price. The final cost depends on the book trim size, the quality of the manuscript, and the number of graphic illustration insertions needed for the interior of the book. Pricing ranges from $2750 – $3750 for a children’s book, $4300 – $5450 for a small memoir or non-fiction book, and $5200 – $7600 for a full-sized novel requiring developmental line editing.

New Dominion Press will provide a line-item estimate detailing all costs for pre-publication work, along with a comprehensive publishing contract detailing royalties, term, production requirements, and other legal details. Your charges may differ from the above estimates, depending on the quality of the work, the anticipated editing time, as well as advanced design work needed.

If our traditional and cooperative publishing models are not a good fit, you may want to consider a self-publishing contract using our administrative publishing model. This model is based on a self-publishing structure which requires you to do most of the work yourself, or work with a designer and an editor to properly prepare your manuscript. We would work in a limited capacity as your consultant as well as handle the administrative chores of the publication process to ensure that it goes smoothly for you. We will use our publication platform provided by Ingram. They are our distributors and provide the best printing and distribution in the book world. The administrative publishing model is the least expensive way of working with us.

We publish three ways.
