Book Production

Languages: English and German

If you have already written a book or monograph, we can help you self-publish it, either as an e-book or as a printed book. We will:

convert your manuscript into a PDF file suitable for distribution as an e-book

format the manuscript for printing

prepare all necessary front content, including title page, copyright page, cataloging information (vital for libarary sales)

prepare a cover

provide an ISBN number (necessary for marketing in bookstores and to libraries)

provide a barcode (necessary for marketing in bookstores)

register your book with Books in Print (registration occurs in conjunction with ISBN registration)

register your copyright in your name and fulfill all Library of Congress formalities

create a special imprint just for your book or books (if desired)

contract with a printer to produce and bind your book in standard formats (short run, medium run, and print-on-demand services available)

This basic book packaging service is available for $ 899.

Please note that this package does not include actual physical production costs. Printing, binding, and shipping/handling costs will be incurred separately, and will vary depending on book size, number of books printed at one time, and other factors. Print-on-demand (POD) books are normally more expensive to produce, but therefore require no investment in inventory. (Many POD printers charge a basic fee and fulfillment fee which can total around $ 4 per softcover book, plus approximately 2-3 cents per printed page). Short run publishers typically require a minimum order between 25 and 200 books, but can offer considerably lower per-unit costs (the more you order at one time, the lower the unit cost).

Various marketing packages are also available beginning at $199.

These marketing services are provided by Transatlantic Euro-American Multimedia LLC and by third parties with whom we contract for your convenience.

Benefits include:

making your books available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and major wholesalers/distributors

direct marketing your book to libraries and other prime customers

creating and hosting a special website or webpage to showcase and sell your book

If your book fits into our general publishing program, we can even sell it through our own catalog.

Contact TEAMwork@TEAMultimedia.com for details on marketing options.

Please note that Transatlantic Euro-American Multimedia LLC is not a vanity publisher. We will not publish author-subsidized books under our own imprint. Our book publishing services help authors self-publish books in a professional manner. We also provide book-packaging services to small publishers, including associations, institutes, and universities.
