Publishing a book costs money. The question is whether you know exactly what you’re paying for before you commit. At Digi Book Studio, every price is listed, every service is itemized, and there are no fees waiting for you halfway through the project.
This page exists because too many authors have been burned by publishers who advertise low entry prices, then add charges for revisions, file conversions, ISBN registration, and distribution setup. We don’t operate that way.
Every author starts somewhere different. Some come with a finished, edited manuscript ready for design. Others need help from the first draft. We built three packages to match where you are right now.
For authors who have a manuscript ready and need professional production to get it published.
Turnaround: 3 to 4 weeks from manuscript submission to published book.
Starts at: Contact us for a quote based on your word count and specifications.
For authors who want a fully edited, professionally produced book with wider distribution and a marketing foundation.
Turnaround: 5 to 7 weeks depending on manuscript length and editing scope.
Starts at: Contact us for a quote based on your manuscript and goals.
For authors who want the full publishing experience, production, distribution, audiobook, and a marketing campaign behind their launch.
Turnaround: 8 to 12 weeks depending on audiobook production and marketing scope.

Rush pricing is available for most services. Contact us before placing your order to confirm availability and cost.
Some publishing companies advertise a base price for editing or design, then charge separately for:
At Digi Book Studio, our quotes include revisions, file conversions, ISBN registration, and distribution setup as part of the stated price. When we give you a number, that is the number. If your project scope changes, we tell you before the cost changes.
Our pricing is based on three factors:
Editing and formatting costs scale with the length of your manuscript. A 50,000-word novel costs less than a 120,000-word memoir.
Developmental editing requires more time and expertise than proofreading. Cover design for a custom illustration takes longer than a typography-based design. We price the actual work, not a flat rate that penalizes short books or underserves long ones.
Standard timelines are included in base pricing. Rush requests carry an additional fee, which is always disclosed upfront.
Not every author needs a full package. If you already have editing done and just need design and distribution, we can build a quote around exactly what’s missing. Common add-ons include:
Every book is different. Word count, genre, target platforms, and turnaround requirements all affect the final price. The best way to get an accurate number is to tell us about your project.
