Infinity’s unique Just-In-Time book publishing system makes it possible for our authors to do an updated revision or a second edition of their book at anytime. There’s no worry about what to do with cases of outdated books because there’s only an on-shelf micro-inventory that’s replenished as needed to promptly fill orders from, unlike a mainstream house that has to commit to a press-run of several thousand books... and then the publisher waits to see how well they sell before even considering doing a new edition.
Infinity authors don’t have to wait for their first edition to sellout—it would be a long wait, because titles in our publishing system never go out-of-print. The author has the option of buying the on-shelf inventory at 50% off the suggested retail price when their second edition is released for sale. The author’s first order for their revised book or a new edition is at 50% off—additional orders are at 40% off the cover price. The fee for publishing a revised book is $200 to convert and exchange the book file in our system, and for proof copies for the author to approve. We define a book revision to mean that the title, ISBN, number of pages and price remain unchanged. Infinity will send the author a copy of the book file for use in making the rewritten revision. All additional corrections after the first proofing will be billed at $50 an hour. The fee for publishing a second edition is $350. The criteria of a second edition are when the page count, title, or cover price change – which requires a new ISBN number to be assigned. We prefer the author work with a copy of their book file that we will provide them. All additional corrections after the first proofing will be billed at $50 an hour. If the previous version or first edition is already in the Ingram system, then there is a $200 charge to resubmit the new book file to the Ingram database. There is a $60 charge to have simple text changes—such as adding a blurb or updating your bio—made to the back cover only. If cover changes involve anything other than simple text changes, then the cost is $60 an hour with 2 hour minimum, any additional changes after the first proof will be billed at $60 an hour. Our seamless proofreading and copy editing service is also available for revised books. The cost is a penny per word and the corrections will be made before the proof copies of your book are sent to you. The time your book’s production schedule and you’ll receive your proof copies as promised. We highly recommend our professional proofreading service to enhance the quality of your book. Our affordable cost of only one cent (.01) a word is less than the per word rate charged by comparable proofreading and copy edition services. If you’re an Infinity author with another book that’s ready for publication—then deduct $50 from the $499 setup fee, and make reference to this newsletter on the Publishing Agreement to get the multi-book discount. |
