Book Prices

When you publish your book with Spire Publishing you don't have to worry about expensive print runs or the cost of warehousing books. All of our books are printed on demand. Books are printed only after both the order and the payment have been received, it is the purchaser who pays for the printing, not the author.

The Author's Price is how much it costs to print a single copy of your book, this is the print cost not the market retail price. Authors can buy copies of their book at this price at any time.
