She Writes Press 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. We print the majority of our books with an American offset printer, but we do occasionally work with offshore printers when we have four-color books. If you have a book that’s outside of a traditional trim size or specifications, make sure to address this with us early on.
