We also offer plenty of other services, such as book cover design, editing, and marketing, to give your book the overall professionalism it deserves.
And if you want to check out your printed book before you commit to printing in larger quantities, you have the option to print a single copy of your book. Your press proofed book will look just as professional as if you were ready to put it on bookstore shelves.
What kind of paper is used for book pages?
Your book deserves only the highest quality paper to showcase your story. Turning the pages of a new book is an experience that you get to give to readers, and you'll have only the best options when you publish with BookBaby.
Choose from either uncoated paper stock, which has a natural feel and is recommended for traditional books without imagery; or, coated paper stock, which is what you'll find in photography, art, comic, and children's books.

Plus, we also offer Print On Demand services, where you can order your books as needed, when you need them. That way, you can avoid larger upfront costs and maintain more control over your self-publishing process.
