She Writes Press and SparkPress mostly publish paperback (perfect-bound) books. If an author wants a hardcover (case-bound), they must consider the print costs, and we would like to have a conversation with you about the pros and cons of this option. Our standard trim sizes are 5.5 x 8.5 inches and 6 x 9 inches. We have the capacity to print mechanical and saddle-stitched books, and well as nontraditional trim sizes. However, if you’re opting for POD, you must choose options that are standard for LSI (our POD printer).
