New Title Setup Charges...

Title setup charges are one-time “pre-press” charges paid by the publisher each time a new title is submitted to KDP.

The amount of the title setup charge is based on the format in which the title is submitted (black & white or full color), and the total number of pages in the book.

Title setup costs are determined by multiplying the number of pages times the appropriate per page charge plus the appropriate cover charge.

	Cover	$37.00	B&W Text	$0.15
	Dust Jacket	$55.00	Color Pages	$0.55

Example: 224 page b&w book = $37.00 + 224 x $0.15 = $70.60 for setup.

Printing on the inside front or back cover is $1.00 additional per copy.

Note: Setup charges include a proof copy of the bookblock and cover. Proof copy will be unbound and contain the appropriate trim marks for the bookblock size. Additional or subsequent proof copies will be charged at $30.00 each. Charges also include storing your electronic files in our secure database for at least one year after the last printing.
