Cost Questions

How Much Does It Cost to Publish a Christian Book?

How much does it cost to publish a Christian book with MakorBooks?

A one-time payment, with no subscription. Sermon-to-Book plans are $20 (Essential), $35 (Professional), and $50 (Signature). Starting from an idea instead of a recording is $25 to $60. A sermon-to-devotional is $7 to $20. Prices are shown in your local currency at checkout.

How much does Christian book publishing cost in general?

The traditional route costs nothing up front but is very hard to get into. Self-publishing with a freelance editor, cover designer, and formatter usually runs $1,500 to $5,000 or more. MakorBooks covers the whole production line for a one-time fee from $20. There is a fuller breakdown in our publishing cost guide.

Are there any subscription or monthly fees?

No. Every plan is a single one-time payment. The only ongoing cost is a flat 8% platform fee on copies your book sells in the MakorBooks store, and you keep 92%.

What does MakorBooks charge when my book sells?

8% of each sale, with 92% paid to you every Friday once you reach the payout minimum. There are no listing fees and no hidden charges.

Can I publish a book for free?

Creating an account, browsing, and reading are free. Producing a manuscript is a paid one-time plan because it includes transcription or a guided interview, editing, doctrinal review, and formatting. There is no free tier for book production.

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes. You retain full copyright. The manuscript is built from your own sermon or your own answers, and it is yours to publish on MakorBooks or anywhere else.
