Book Pricing

The final pricing of your book is determined after your manuscript has gone through the production phase and has been formatted to the selected trim size of either 5×8 or 5.5×8.5. The following table is not a guarantee, but only an estimate of how PENDIUM book pricing is determined. As the author, this is not your cost per copy but rather the retail price range. You, as the author, would pay only the print cost of your book whenever you order copies.

Book Size	Word Count	Price Range
107 or less	20,000 or less	$8.95 to $10.95
108 – 200 pages	30,000 – 56,000	$10.95 to $12.95
204 – 300 pages	56,000 – 80,000	$13.95 to $16.95
304 – 400 pages	80,000 – 110,000	$17.95 to $20.95
404 – 500 pages	110,000 – 140,000	$21.95 to $23.95

Pricing by PENDIUM takes into consideration that most booksellers, such as Amazon.com, will discount your book once placed on their site. For example, if PENDIUM priced your book at $14.95, Amazon would discount your title and sell it around $10.47 to their customers – resulting in an even better price for your readers. Note that even though a retailer may discount your book, PENDIUM bases your royalties on the price we set your book at and monies collected from these sales.

What They Say

We want you to have the same great experience working with us as our current authors have had.

My experience has been outstanding! I was so pleased with the service I received from PENDIUM when they published my first novel, that I returned for them to publish my second. Personable and professional, the staff worked closely with me to ensure that my literary goals were met.

I am a twice published author with Pendium. I’ve enjoyed the care and thoughtfulness given to me as an author. I’ve received tremendous support beyond just publishing my book. They are always open to your input, and value your suggestions for the cover design and overall book structure.
