Practical, affordable publishing help for independent authors. Pick the help you need. Keep control of your book.
Publishing a book is already expensive. Getting help shouldn't make it impossible. Every book is different, so complex projects may require a custom quote.
A final-pass review for grammar, spelling, punctuation, typos, missing or repeated words, and basic consistency issues.
Everything included in proofreading, plus clarity, awkward phrasing, unnecessary repetition, sentence flow, word choice, and consistency. You retain final say over substantive changes.
Clean, publication-ready interiors including chapter styling, margins, page numbering, front and back matter, scene breaks, and standard novel formatting.
Print + ebook: $100
Help navigating KDP or IngramSpark setup, including metadata, trim size, pricing, territories, files, proofs, and the inevitable "why the hell won't it accept my file?" moment.
KDP + IngramSpark: $75
Help with book descriptions, keywords, BISAC and THEMA categories, pricing, contributor information, and retailer or distributor listings.
Guidance with ISBNs, copyright-page information, LCCNs where applicable, Library of Congress deposit requirements, and the other administrative bullshit that nobody warns you exists.
For authors with a finished manuscript who want help turning it into an actual published book. Includes standard interior formatting, print and ebook preparation, metadata and listing assistance, publishing-platform setup assistance, copyright-page setup, and publishing-administration guidance.
Editing is priced separately.
No mysterious packages. No promises of instant bestseller status. No ownership games. Just practical help getting your book where you want it to go.
CCKR Publishing does not take royalties or ownership rights as payment for author services. You make the final decisions. You keep your rights.
Editing projects have a $75 minimum. Third-party expenses such as ISBNs, printing, proofs, postage, registration fees, and platform charges are not included unless specifically stated in your quote.
Complex layouts, image-heavy books, poetry, textbooks, cookbooks, extensive tables, footnotes, indexes, or other specialized formatting may require a custom quote.
