From Accepted Manuscript to Published Book
The Huggins Professional Publishing package is designed for authors who want one coordinated process covering editorial preparation, book design, publication and store setup.
Every manuscript must be assessed and formally accepted before a publishing package is offered. Prices depend on the manuscript’s final word count and estimated production requirements.

Fixed and Transparent Pricing
After acceptance, the author receives a written agreement identifying the approved services, responsibilities, schedule and package price.
The quoted price is fixed for the agreed scope. It changes only when the author requests or approves a substantial change in manuscript length, format, schedule or deliverables.
No Compulsory Author Purchases
Huggins Publishers does not require authors to purchase a minimum number of copies of their own books. Authors may order copies whenever they choose at the applicable author or production cost.
