Getting Started with the Platinum Package

The Platinum Package is perfect for the author who wants full-service and the structure to finally get the book done, while also ensuring that it will be released and marketed professionally.

Let’s get your book published! We deal with all of the final aspects of delivering a print-ready manuscript for publishing.

Information needed:

  • Target publication date
  • Intake survey to assess your challenges and drivers for getting your book completed
  • Book size
  • Page count
  • Paper selection (cream or white)
  • Any full-bleed requirements within the manuscript
  • Author name, bio, and high-resolution image
  • Book description for listing

Once the book parameters are provided, we will give you pricing options that will detail your royalties based on the printing costs and KDP fees. For the platinum package, Goodrich Publishing will assess a 4% royalty fee for any books sold through Amazon. This means that we will not collect any royalties for books you sell on your own or through other channels! We want you excited to partner with us and getting a royalty check is exciting!

Sample Royalty Situation

Sale Price: $20.00

Approximate KDP Fees*: $8.00

Goodrich Publishing Fee: $0.80

Your Royalty: $11.20

(*KDP fees vary based on printing costs/page counts so this is just an average example)

Royalties are paid out from KDP 60-days in arrears. For example, if the book is published in January, you will receive January royalties on the last day of March. Sales reporting is available to you at any time!
