Print still lives at SolaPress!

If you believe your audience is more likely to want your content in physical form, SolaPress offers a print option.

Your book is printed on-demand, so production costs are low and the savings are passed on to you, the author.

Your printed book will be listed for sale on SolaPress’ website and through major booksellers, like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. SolaPress is working diligently to partner with other bookstores and websites to offer you more avenues of exposure for your printed book.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All documents sent for conversion should be submitted in Microsoft Word 2003 (.doc) format. Your document will not be accepted in any other format to include .docx, .pdf, .txt or .rtf.

The setup fee is based on the cost of your ISBN, your barcode and the word count of your document:

  •   6,500 words or less = $225
  •   6,501 – 12,500 words = $270
  • 12,501 – 18,500 words = $330
  • 18,501 – 24,500 words = $390
  • 24,501 – 30,500 words = $450
  • 30,501 – 36,500 words = $510
  • 36,501 – 48,500 words = $570
  • 48,501 – 60,500 words = $630
  • 60,501 words and above = $630 + $15 for each additional 1K words
