We collaborate with authors to identify the services necessary to meet their publishing aspirations, ensuring they invest only in what they genuinely need and desire. Our publishing services encompass a diverse range of books, from short poetry collections to comprehensive illustrated cookbooks and more. We provide various pricing options, all tailored to accommodate individual needs.

Pricing examples tailored for you

At Mereo Books, we prioritize flexibility for authors, which is why we don't offer pre-set packages. We understand that set pricing can lead to paying for unnecessary items or overlooking options that best suit individual needs. Instead, we provide personalized, no-obligation quotes tailored specifically to your unique book and publishing goals. Below are some pricing examples that illustrate common objectives authors bring to us, along with suggested service options and costs to help guide your decision-making.

Our service is collaborative, ensuring we work closely with you to achieve exceptional results
The pricing examples above may align with what you are looking for and your budget, but if not, we will work with you directly to produce a quote for the services that you want for your project. We've based the examples on a fiction manuscript of up to 85,000 words containing text only. Because production and printing costs vary depending on the complexity of a book, we always supply a written quotation based on your manuscript. None of the pricing examples are subject to VAT so there are no hidden extra costs. Book printing is also not subject to VAT.
