“I want someone to write my book for me.”
Writing a book takes time and organization. If you have an idea for a best-seller but lack the time to write it, allow a D.O.P.E. Writer to pen it for you! With this service, we do the work and you reap the benefits. Creative Writing services begin at $2500, and the average timeline for completion is 45-60 days from the date payment is received.
“I need professional feedback on my book.”
As the saying goes, ‘Feedback is the breakfast of champions,’ and a beta read provides a professional, page-by-page critique of your manuscript with suggestions for enhancing your book’s content. Our beta readers are knowledgeable in all genres and understand the diverse demands of each type of writing. Get feedback to ensure your book is in alignment with your purpose for writing and meets the needs of your intended audience. Beta read feedback services are $2 per page.
“I’m not sure my book makes sense or flows well.”
Content editing is ‘BIG-picture’ editing that consists of ensuring the ideas and information presented in your book are well-developed, thorough, and written with clarity and ease of understanding. Content editing supports a smooth reading experience that leaves readers fulfilled or wanting more—whether you’re publishing one book or writing a trilogy! Content editing ranges from $4-6 per page.
“I need my book edited for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.”
There are few things more distracting than reading a book with errors in it—misspelled words, run-on sentences, and missing punctuation marks prevent readers from focusing on your message and content. Line editing erases this distraction by providing a detailed examination of your manuscript and correcting all erroneous content. The cost of line editing ranges from $4-6 per page.
“I’ve finished writing my book, but I don’t know what to title it.”
The only words more important than those inside of your book are the words on the cover of it! After all, you won’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Let us help you title your book in a way that is sure to make readers curious about what’s inside and eager to read more. Titling services start at $99, depending upon the manuscript’s length, and can easily be combined with beta read feedback, content editing, line editing, and/or proofreading services for a reduced rate of $69.
“I need my manuscript formatted into a book.”
Typesetting consists of formatting a manuscript into a book product that can be either printed in the form of a hardcopy book or converted into an eBook for readers to enjoy. Typesetting is a delicate process, involving a design software that allows authors to customize even the simplest details on the pages of their manuscript. The cost of this service starts at $150, depending upon your manuscript’s length and design preferences.
“I need a book cover that catches readers’ eyes.”
A best-seller needs a bold and inviting cover design that intrigues readers enough they won’t be able to resist picking it up. Like the saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” which means your book cover has a lot to communicate! Let a D.O.P.E. artist design the cover art for your book that speaks to readers in a way they can’t help but notice. Cover design services start at $200, including both front and back cover and spine.
“I’ve written the words, but I need art, too.”
Illustrations breathe life into the words on the page and create a captivating reading experience that engages the senses. Whether it’s pictures you need for a children’s book, layout designs for a planner or journal, or images for a book of poetry, a D.O.P.E. artist can fulfill your manuscript’s artistic needs. Due to the vast diversity of graphic design and illustration requests, price quotes for this service are provided on an individual basis. Get a price quote for graphic design or illustration today!
“I want to make sure my book is published error-free.”
Proofreading is the final review of your manuscript before it goes to print. To avoid any oversight in the transition from a word processor document to a typeset document using design software, your book is printed cover-to-cover, proofread and examined to allow for only the most polished version of your book to be printed in mass quantities. D.O.P.E.’s proofreading service ranges from $3-5 per page and is subject to a 5-book sample print fee of $50 plus shipping.
“I want to protect the contents of my book.”
You’ve worked so hard to write your book, so now it’s important that you protect it. Copyright protection prevents copyright infringement and theft of your book’s content and equips you with the right to take legal action if/when necessary. Take ownership of your work by owning it legally. Copyright protection services start at $99 and vary based on content complexity.
“I want to sell my book on mainstream platforms.”
While it may yield some profits to sell your book independently, an ISBN registration permits you to sell your book on a variety of mainstream platforms, giving you access to readers worldwide. Maximize your book’s profit potential with an ISBN registration, which starts at $75. Each version of your book—hardcopy, eBook, or audiobook—will need its own ISBN registration.
“I need tangible copies of my book.”
No matter how much technology advances, readers will always value traditional methods for reading, and tangible books allow you to create a personal experience for your readers—whether it’s through delivering them directly from your hand to theirs or signing them with your personal autograph. A hardcopy is a timeless keepsake for readers to add to their book collection. Average printing costs range from $3-10 per book, depending on length, size, cover materials, paper quality, and color options.
“I want readers to access my book electronically.”
While traditional readers find hardcopy books irreplaceable, there is a growing audience of readers that prefers its books electronically and values the ability to carry an entire library collection in their pocket, purse, or backpack with ease. Ensure readers of all preferences have access to your book by getting it converted into an eBook compatible with both iOS and Android operating systems. Conversion services begin at $225, including typesetting services or $99 if manuscript has already been typeset and include both epub and mobi files.
