Frequently asked questions

Spines offers several publishing plans so you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

  • Signature Plan – For authors who want their book available in multiple formats (softcover, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook) with added guidance during the publishing process.
  • Paramount Plan – For manuscripts over 100,000 words or for authors who want to publish in two languages (English plus one other). Includes extended production support.
  • Horizon Plan – For authors who want a more comprehensive publishing process. Includes additional editing services, plus marketing support and higher-level service throughout production.
  • Global Premium Plan – For authors seeking a premium global publishing option. Includes translation into six languages, global distribution across 100 platforms, and additional marketing visibility.

Spines offers multiple secure payment options:

  • Pay securely with your credit or debit card (all major cards accepted).
  • Pay directly from your bank account via ACH transfer.
  • Check out quickly and securely with PayPal.
  • Split your purchase into up to 24 monthly payments with Affirm (subject to approval).

No. We begin the publishing process as soon as your first installment is paid.

Yes! You can try a basic service level at no cost. Create a free account by clicking the “Get Started” button at the top of our website.

In addition to the publishing plans and add-ons listed above, Spines also offers expert illustration, document conversion, and ghostwriting services. For writers who need help with their manuscripts, we also offer writing coaching services. To learn more, contact our publishing consultants here.

The Paramount plan is our most popular option because it combines all of Spines’ publishing tools with multiple publishing formats. With this plan, your manuscript will be published as a softcover, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook in English, plus one translated version in a language of your choice. You’ll also receive weekly check-ins with your account manager and enjoy distribution across dozens of global platforms.

That said, the right plan also depends on your publishing goals. If you’re publishing a single title and want the widest reach in multiple formats, Paramount is often the best fit. But if you’re planning to publish several titles or prefer to handle marketing independently, another plan may be a better match. Our team is here to help you choose the option that makes the most sense for your journey.

We’re confident that once you experience Spines, you’ll see why thousands of authors have published their books with us. However, if you decide it isn’t right for you, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee.
