Binding Options
We offer all major binding styles; if not listed here, most bindings available as a special order; inquire for details.

Interior pages can be black & white (B&W) or full color (color not available at Basic level). PB=Paperback, EB=e-Book, HC=Hardcover

Free Author Copies
After your book is printed, we will send you the following complimentary copies.

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 R. R. 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
For the basic publishing package, we will design a 4-color cover using a stock photograph, the title and subtitle of your book, the author's name, and supplied back cover copy. For better, best and pro services, our book designer will create a customized 4-color cover to grab the buyer's attention. This includes the back cover, which can include your photograph, a short author biography, BISAC topical codes, and 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? –CLOSE–

Royalties
Our authors receive a 10 to 12 percent royalty for all books that we sell, based on the SRP (Suggested Retail Price) of each binding and 25 to 50 percent royalty on each e-Book format. For instance, if 1,000 copies of a $10.00 SRP book were sold at a 70% discount, you will still receive $1,000.00 in royalties from us. –MORE–

Other publishers (such as Review & Herald and Pacific Press) pay a royalty based on the wholesale price, rather than the SRP. If the SRP is $10.00, the wholesale price would be $6.00. If the royalty rate is 12% of the wholesale price and you sell 1,000 copies, you will be paid $720.00 in royalties. Even though the royalty percentage is higher, you receive less per book because they are basing the royalty on the wholesale price and not the SRP.

Some unscrupulous publishers offer royalties at absurdly high rates because they inflate the retail price. Unfortunately, this will just inhibit sales, as it is hard to sell an overpriced book. –CLOSE–

Personal Blog (Website)
On request, we will create a personal blog to help promote your title. In addition, we will help you route your own personal domain name to your site, helping you bring traffic (and viewers) to your blog.

Website Ordering
We will submit your title to AspectBooks.com and scores of other online bookstores allowing millions to potentially see your title and purchase your book. In addition, for the PRO level, your title will be upgraded to placement on the TEACHServices.com site that markets specifically to Adventists. This allows retail and wholesale customers to securely purchase your books.

Domestic Distribution
TEACH Services partners with the largest distributor of books in the world. Your title is listed in their catalog for 1 year, meaning that your book is a part of their distribution network that includes 28,000 customers (10,000 book retailers, 14,000 librarians, and 4,000 international accounts). There is a small "Annual Catalog Fee" per printed binding style for each additional year you want that style to remain in the catalog.

International Distribution
We partner with the largest distributor of books in the world, who services 28,000 customers (10,000 book retailers, 14,000 librarians, and 4,000 international accounts). Their distribution and production facilities are located in Milton Keynes, UK (central to London); Maurepas, France; Melbourne, Australia; and soon Brazil and  Japan, thus expanding your reach to overseas markets.

E-Books
We partner with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, and others to offer our e-Books in their special formats, and in full color on those devices that support color. We have partnerships with around 50 e-Book distributors around the world. Once uploaded, your book can become a part of their catalog of available e-Books.

Layout and Design
Our design team will take your body and cover text and lay it out and prepare it for press, following all printing standards to create a professional end product, including... –MORE–

Electronic Proof
You will receive an electronic proof to review before your book is sent to the printer. We want to make sure you are happy with the finished product.

Creative Back Cover Copy
Our book editor will draft back cover copy that will summarize your book and entice readers to purchase it. We will also include the ISBN and barcode and BISAC topical code for your title.

Professional Editing
Our book editor brings a fresh perspective to your book and will edit your manuscript while retaining your style and voice. Our editor will ensure that your book follows publishing industry styles and standards and is free of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors. The editor will also check all Bible texts and Spirit of Prophecy references to ensure their accuracy. Our  editor will approach your manuscript differently than an English teacher or friend, looking for consistency, clarity, wordiness, and the right tone for your target audience. This step will polish your manuscript.

Marketing to the Adventist Community
We will market your book specifically to the Adventist community.

Hardback Book or Special Promotion
Our PRO publishing level gives you a paperback and various e-book formats, but it also allows you the option of a deluxe hardback edition OR a special promotional mailing of 50 copies of your paperback edition to the top Adventist bookstores over a 90 day period.

Wholesale E-mail Promotion
We will actively promote your book to the Adventist Book Centers and our other wholesale customers through e-mail communication.

Wholesale Telemarketing
Personal phone calls make all the difference in sales. We will personally call our wholesale customers to promote your book and initiate sales.

Retail E-mail Promotion
We promote your book to our retail customers through our monthly e-mail newsletter.

News Release
We will write and distribute a news release about your book to your local newspaper. This helps to spread the word about your book in your local community.

Social Media Promotion
TEACH Service titles enjoy promotion on our company’s Facebook fan page. This is one additional avenue of reaching potential readers.

Postcards/Bookmarks
We will print 1,000 postcards or bookmarks and provide you with 250 for you to distribute to your local church, family, friends, and anywhere else you choose. We will use the rest in orders that we ship to our customers.
