Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.

You can publish a softcover book with Spines for as little as $1,198 with our Essential plan. 

If you’re interested in publishing your book in additional formats like hardcover, eBook and audiobook, you can sign up for our Signature plan for as little as $1,098 per month in three monthly payments, or for a one-time payment of $2,298. 

Paramount, our most comprehensive plan, includes all 4 versions of your book plus a translation into the language of your choice, and may be purchased for $4,498 or only $998 a month over 6 months.

Anyone can sign up for a free account by clicking on the “Get Started” button on the top of the page. Take our platform tools for a spin and see how easy it is to publish your book with Spines.

The Signature plan is our most popular plan because by purchasing one plan, you can take advantage of all of Spines online publishing tools and have your manuscript published as a softcover print-on-demand book, as a hardcover, as an eBook, and as an Audiobook.

You also get weekly check ins with your account manager and distribution across dozens of distribution channels.

Spines offers multiple plans so that you can find the plan that best suits your needs. 

If your manuscript contains fewer than 50,000 words, and you are looking to take advantage of Spines online publishing tools to quickly publish your book and get it sold on Amazon, then perhaps our Essential package is best for you.

If you are interested in printing hardcover, eBook and Audiobook versions of your book, and would appreciate some personalized support as you go through your publishing journey, the Signature plan is probably the best one for you.

For long books (over 100,000 words) or if you would like to increase your audience by publishing in two languages (English plus one other), we offer our Paramount package. With unlimited production support, you can rest easy knowing that our experts will take care of everything for you.

To make it easy for you to purchase the package you want, Spines offer multiple ways to pay. You can pay via bank transfer, Affirm, credit card or PayPal. 

  • Pay directly from your bank account via ACH transfer. 
  • Split your purchase into up to 24 monthly payments with Affirm. Subject to approval.
  • Securely pay with your credit or debit card at checkout. All major cards accepted.
  • Check out quickly and securely with PayPal

We are confident that once you try our service, you’ll see why thousands of authors have already published with Spines. However, if you decide that it is not for you, we offer a 100% hassle-free 7-day money-back guarantee.

In addition to the Production plans and add ons listed above, Spines offers editing services, design services, illustration creation, document conversion, and ghostwriting. For those services or any other needs, please contact our publishing consultants to learn more. You can reach them by clicking on the “Schedule a Call” button above.
