BLACK & WHITE PUBLISHING WITH SPEARS BOOKS
Publishing Packages
Children’s Book Packages (color)
Our book packages are offered on the premise of a partnership contract. By this, we mean that the author offers a contribution to cover initial production and printing of the work. For our standard/traditional book contract, click here
For hundreds of years, print technology has favoured black and white printing as the standard for most fiction and nonfiction titles. Spears Books is proud to offer printed works in both black and white and colour where applicable.
All of our black and white packages include e-book and paperback publishing, image insertions (perfect for black and white images of line drawings,) and multiple-outlet online distribution. Should your print job require colour designs, we will work with you to ensure the most cost-effective options for the best quality in colour book printing. In addition to your printed books, we include promotional materials plus a book video as determined by your chosen package.
