Personal Plus $1,299
You have all of these in this plan:
Paperback Publishing - Your book will be available in the most popular format, made of quality, perfect binding, and acid-free library stock paper.
Digital Formatting and Distribution - Your book will be distributed online as an e-Book and available through significant retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Worldwide Online Distribution - Your book will be available for sale online through external retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other resellers that may pick up your book from the Ingram and Baker & Taylor distribution networks.
Standard Cover Design - A cover designer is assigned to your manuscript and, with some consultation and direction, designs a few cover options based on your vision and lets you pick which one best fits your book.
Electronic Galley - Also referred to as “galley proof,” this is your cover and manuscript in a book layout with chapters and pagination. To ensure the final book design is 100% to your liking, galleys are e-mailed to you for review and approval before the book is ready for purchase.
20 Image Insertions - You may provide imagery for your book’s interior pages, and these will be printed either in grayscale or in full color (for Full Color Books).
3 rounds of Interior Revisions - You may want to make changes to your manuscript after proofreading your galley. Each block of revisions allows you to submit up to 50 corrections. Publisher errors such as hyphenation, formatting issues, or misplaced graphics, which occurred during production, must also be noted on the proof form but will not count against the first 50 corrections.
Standard Page Design - You will have a say in creating visually appealing page designs bringing your story to life, and building your book's layout that fits your needs.
One Round of Cover Revisions - Have any tweaks you'd like to make to your cover? You have the option to make changes at no additional cost.
Amazon "Look Inside", Google, and Barnes & Noble "Read Instantly" Previews - Allow readers to take a peek inside your book creating interest online before purchasing it. Preview available on Amazon, Google, Barnes & Noble, etc.
ISBN Assignment - A 13-digit identifier is unique to your book and an industry requirement for distribution and retail sales. It allows distributors, retailers, printers, and readers to find and order your book easily.
US Copyright Registration - We will register your work with the US Copyright Office with copyright registration, so there’s a public record of your ownership of that manuscript.
Library of Congress Control Number - We will submit a copy of your book to the Library of Congress and arrange for a card catalog number to be assigned to your book.

Everything in Personal Plus and these:
Author Website Setup (6 pages) - Receive a professional author website that fits your style and is where readers can go to discover your book and learn about you as an author.
3 Years of Website Hosting - We’ll handle the domain registration, renewal, and hosting of your website.

Booksellers Return Program - A typical program in the self-publishing industry in which author books will be marked “Returnable” in the wholesaler/distributor ordering system. This is valuable to booksellers by assuring them credit for unsold bookstore copies. Ideal for authors if their books are primarily sold in bookstores, securing them more shelf space and in-store book signings.

Bookstore Pitch Campaign - Your book will be pitched to 25 independent bookstores in the US with a focus on your region over the course of three months through a personalized pitch deck with the goal that at least two bookstores will agree to test stock your title.
