Book Discounts
Our authors enjoy discounts off the suggested retail price of their book. You can purchase copies to sell directly to your community and network. (These discounts include author royalties and are based on prepayment by check. Credit card purchases are slightly less.)“unlike other publishers, we do not restrict authors from selling their discounted books. You may sell your author-discounted books at full price and keep 100% of the profits! We encourage our authors to sell as many books as they want. One of our authors was able to raise $20,000 through her book sales and was able to build a church in India with her profits. TEACH Services, Inc. is very proud to be of service to such authors and to God in this way!”

Format and Binding Options
We offer all major formats and binding styles (PB=Paperback, HB=Hard Bound, EB=e-Book, AB=Audio Book); if not listed as standard here, most other formats or bindings are available as a special order; inquire for details. Interior pages can be black-and-white (B&W) or full color on most paper stocks.

Free Author Copies
After your book is finished, we will send you complimentary copies for your use. Additional copies can be purchased at a discount (see “Book Discounts” above).

ISBN/LOC Numbers & BISAC Code
The publishing industry uses the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) to trace your title back to your publisher. TEACH Services will do this for you and will also register your title with RR Bowker, a bibliographic tool for libraries, booksellers, and publishers. We will also obtain a LOC (Library of Congress) catalog number for your book and assign a BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) topical code.

Book Cover Design
Simple covers are provided for the FAMILY publishing package (see HERE). Additional charges will apply based on the work required to create a custom cover.

For the STANDARD, ADVANCED, and PREMIUM Levels, our book designers will create four customized 4-color covers for you to “Pick One” to grab the buyer’s attention. This includes the back cover copy, including your photograph, a short author biography, BISAC topical codes, and an ISBN barcode. Special art or illustrations can be supplied at additional cost.

–MORE–
REMEMBER: People DO judge a book by its cover—We ask these and many more questions while building your cover.

• How is the "impact" at thumbnail sizes? At poster sizes?
• Is the title readable at small sizes?
• Does the cover/title font suit the book's genre?
• Glance at the book; what does it tell you?
• Will the testimonials and quotes create sales?

Royalties
Our authors normally receive a 10 to 12 percent royalty for ALL books that we sell, based on the Suggested Retail Price (SRP) of each binding and a 25 to 50 percent royalty on each e-book format. For instance, when we sell 1,000 copies of a $10.00 SRP book with a 70% discount, we would pay the author $1,000.00 in royalties. –MORE–

Other publishers pay a royalty based on the selling price, rather than the SRP. On the above example, if another publisher pays a 12% royalty based on the selling price, you would only receive $360.00! That is $640 LESS than what we would have paid you. Even though the royalty percentage is higher, you would receive just about 1/3rd of the amount we would have paid you.

Some unscrupulous publishers offer royalties at absurdly high rates because they take a $10 book and mark it up to $18. They do this to prey on your desire to get easy money; however, most times, just the opposite happens. Have you ever been tempted to buy an $18 book that just isn’t worth more than $10? As you can see, this scheme will just inhibit sales, as most buyers will not buy an overpriced book. These types of publishers also have little or no motivation to help you sell the book.

Professional Editing
Our Editing Department will bring a fresh perspective to your book by editing your manuscript while retaining your style and voice. Our editors will ensure that your book follows publishing industry styles and standards.

The work of a professional editor includes:

• Correcting grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors and ensuring proper transitions are used to guide the reader through the book.
• Deleting repetitions that detract from the book and its message.
• Removing unnecessary words or weak phrases.
• Checking for unseen plagiarism (improper documentation) and suggesting how to obtain permissions.

The main goal of the editing phase is to polish your book and make your message as straightforward as possible for readers. Our book editors will approach your manuscript with a fresh perspective and a keen eye for detail. If you speak with other authors, they will tell you that a professional editor is vital to the production process. Although professional editing does not guarantee that your book will sell, it is essential to put your best foot forward. 

TEACH Services typically handles editing and copyediting during the initial editing phase. Unless an author has paid for proofreading, they are responsible for secondary copyediting (verifying sources other than the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy and looking for grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors) after the editing phase. They are also responsible for proofreading after typesetting is complete. In addition, professional editing ensures that your writing follows The Chicago Manual of Style* and publishing industry styles and standards, including gender-neutral language. Our experienced editors will also ensure that the writing and organization of the book are cohesive and consistent throughout, enhancing it where necessary. See our Style Guidelines (PDF) for details.

TEACH editing prices are based on the author submitting a manuscript in a Microsoft Word format in complete and final form. Other editing approaches, if approved, will cost significantly more due to the increased time and labor involved. 

All editing projects require the author to fact-check all Bible texts, Spirit of Prophecy references, and check other facts to ensure accuracy. Our professional editors will spot-check about ten percent (10%) of all quotes, and if they find errors, you may be required to have us check and confirm all quotations at additional charges (click HERE for U.S. Copyright Office Fair Use Index). Our editors will utilize the tracked changes feature in Microsoft Word so that you can review and approve all of the changes made to your manuscript. You will receive a PDF of your manuscript after the editing process. At that time, you will review the changes and work with the editor to make further corrections to your manuscript before moving on to layout and design.

Additional Editing Standards can be found HERE.
