Academic Monograph – Standard

🎯 Overview

Transform your research into a professionally published academic monograph. This standard package provides everything needed to bring a single-author or single-subject book to market—from ISBN registration through digital distribution. We handle the production complexity so you can focus on your scholarship.

What is a monograph? A comprehensive, book-length treatment of a single subject by one author or a small author team. Distinct from edited volumes (multiple contributors) or textbooks (teaching-focused).

Ideal for: Researchers publishing dissertations as books, scholars with focused research studies, academics seeking permanent scholarly records of their work.

❓ Common Questions

Do I need to have the book edited first?

What royalty rate do I receive?
40% of net receipts on sales through NeucitePress channels. For Amazon/Ingram sales, you receive the difference between list price and platform/printing costs (typically 15-30% depending on book specifications).

Can I set my own price?
Yes, within reasonable market ranges. We provide pricing guidance based on page count, format, and market positioning.

How long will my book stay available?
Indefinitely. Print-on-demand means no minimum inventory—your book remains available as long as you want.

What if I want DOI registration?
DOI assignment is included in our Premium Package. For Standard, DOI can be added for $99.

Can I publish with a different press later?
You retain copyright and can pursue traditional publishing for future works. However, this published edition remains with NeucitePress per our distribution agreements.
