Professional publishing tools for authors and business...









acts as a publishing intermediary, allowing authors access to the reading marketplace without shouldering the expense of starting an entire business. We provide the tools necessary to publish and market books. Authors choose the level of service they require. We believe every book is a business; therefore authors need complete control to take their plans to reality. Thus, our authors set their own list prices, wholesale discounts, methods of distribution, imprint, marketing and have complete creative control.

Set apart from the competition by innovative customer service that examines each author's goal and pairs them with the best publishing options, PageFree offers multiple distribution and fulfillment opportunities.

We offer a variety of publishing packages and options. You will find our site is organized much the same as a book. The tabs to the right indicate major topics while the table of contents offers more detailed navigation.

We are anxious to discuss your publishing project with you and to help you explore options which you may not even know are available to the self-publishing author. You will find Contact for Information forms throughout our site or you may email our book consultant. If you prefer more immediate attention, please call us at 269-692-3926 and we’ll be happy to discuss your book.

The Overall Picture

Our publishing packages are based on the type of service you’re seeking and the costs range, depending on the manuscript word count, begins at $399.00 for a Basic Paperback of up to 70,000 words. This includes the following:

1)      PageFree will take your MS Word-compatible manuscript and using professional software from the Adobe library, design a book with your choice of text block templates. (Custom designs are only $50.00 more.) We will send you an electronic proof and make your required changes after proofing.

2)      Once the text block is approved, our cover designer takes over and with your input, creates an original, high quality design. You may describe a general idea of what you have in mind, browse our online library of art and photos or submit art components of your own to be incorporated. Again, you are furnished with an electronic proof and the opportunity to make any needed changes. Our covers include an ISBN, bar code, price and you may opt to use an author photo on the back cover. If desired, you can even create your own imprint at no additional charge.

3)      Once both text block and cover are approved, your book is submitted to Ingram’s database for printing fulfillment and distribution to over 20,000 bookstores in 92 countries. Your book is also listed in Bowker’s Books in Print and made available through Baker & Taylor for institutional-oriented book buyers. You will be able to set the list price and bookstore discount which gives you the ability to position your book to maximum advantage to achieve your publishing goals. You will find your book listed at many well-known online booksellers such as Amazon.com, BN.com, walmart.com and more.

4)      Bookstore orders are processed through Ingram at no expense to you—you simply collect the royalties. You may also buy copies of your own book at deeply discounted prices in quantities of 25 or more and have them shipped to you for direct sales or booksigning events.
