❓ Common Questions

How does pricing compare to traditional publishers?
Traditional academic publishers often charge no upfront fee but take most revenue and all rights. Our model: you pay production costs upfront and keep higher royalties (typically 40-60%) plus full copyright ownership.

Can this work for tenure and promotion?
Absolutely. Our production quality, ISBN registration, library distribution, and DOI assignment meet academic standards. Many authors use our services for tenure portfolios. We provide documentation of professional publishing practices on request.

What if I want Open Access?
Open Access distribution is available at no additional cost. We can publish under CC-BY or other Creative Commons licenses while still offering print sales. This maximizes impact while maintaining professional production.

Do you handle translations?
Translation services are available as an add-on. Contact us for translation quotes—costs vary significantly by language and length.

What’s the difference from the Standard Monograph package ($2,499)?
Premium adds developmental editing, professional indexing, custom cover design, enhanced marketing (press release, review copy distribution), and 10 author copies. Standard is production-focused; Premium adds editorial development and promotional support.
