Pricing for Self Publishing Christian & Wholesome Paper / Hardback Books
Call: 1-888-546-2111
Innovo's Manufacturing Cost Structure: Our book manufacturing and printing charges are based on the size of the book, the number and type of pages printed (color vs. black & white) and the type of binding and cover used (hardcover vs. paperback) and other factors. See our pricing chart above for specific rates. A surcharge may apply to orders under 50 books.
Innovo Authors Can Save $4 to $5 Dollars Per Book on Printing Costs: Compared to our competitors, Innovo Authors and self publishers can save $4 to $5/book or more on book printing costs. For example, Innovo Authors can order a copy of their 300 page trade paperback novel directly from Innovo for about $6.90/book (not including shipping, handling & taxes). Even with our chief competitor's author discounts, they charge a whopping $11.69 for a single copy of the same size 300 page trade paperback book (not including shipping, handling or taxes). In this example, Innovo authors can save about $4.79/book for their Christian and wholesome titles.

Innovo's Clear Cost Model Saves Authors Money: At Innovo, authors can take advantage of our very low printing costs. We call this our Clear Cost Model, which is transparent, simple and a great value for Christian and wholesome self publishers like you. The rates we charge authors for printing each of their books are clearly displayed on our web site for all to see. Our competitors use a somewhat complex discount structure based on the book's Retail Price--the retail price that the Publisher sets. That's right--in many cases the publisher actually tells the author what price they may sell their book for and then the publisher typically offers between 35% to 70% discount off the Retail price they establish. Of course this is a significant conflict of interest. And to get the 70% discount--the author has to spend thousands of dollars and buy 1000 or more books. Ouch. We're biased, of course, but the numbers speak for themselves. Innovo Authors can save $4 to $5 dollars/book or more compared to our primary competitor. We encourage you to shop around and compare... the more you do, the more you will like our prices.
Innovo Allows Authors To Control Their Wholesale & Retail Prices: At Innovo, Authors set their own wholesale and retail prices with the common sense requirement of covering their per book costs. However, one of our primary competitors requires their authors to accept the Publisher calculated retail price. For example, with a 300 page trade paperback book, our competitor requires a retail price of $17.99. This same size paperback typically sells in bookstores for about $14.99--so one could argue the publishers calculated retail price seems a bit inflated. Innovo, on the other hand, allows our authors to set competitive retail prices, while still making a profit. Continuing the same example with a 300 page trade paperback, an Innovo Author could set a retail price of $14.99 and a wholesale price of $10.99 and still make a net profit (royalty) of $4.78/book (i.e., $10.99 wholesale price minus $ 6.90 manufacturing costs = $4.09/book royalty). Ask any other publisher to provide these same variables for a single copy of a 300 page trade paperback and we think you will see Innovo's Clear Cost advantage.
