"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
We have often wondered how a “publisher” could quote a price for the full production and manufacturing of a book over the phone – without seeing the manuscript first. How do they know what level of edit it will need? How do they know what level of typesetting is required? It is like calling an automotive body shop, after you have crashed your car, and asking, over the phone, “How much it will cost to fix it?” The first thing the body shop manager would say to you is, “You will have to bring it in so we can have a look at it.”
Would you trust the body shop, or the price they gave you, if they quoted a price to fix your car on the phone? Of course not! So why would you trust somebody who prices something as personal and individualized as your book with a phone or “standard” quote?
