Start your project
Tell us about your manuscript, see an instant estimate, and pay securely by card—we email your order summary and payment confirmation automatically.
Form submission, card payments, email confirmations, estimates, and rush requests.
You get an order reference and an order-summary email immediately. Pay by card right on the summary page—a secure Polar checkout opens without leaving the site—and a payment-confirmation email follows within minutes with instructions for sending your manuscript.
Real Self Publishing accepts all major credit and debit cards through Polar’s secure hosted checkout. Prices are in USD, and no account is needed to pay.
Use Edit details or Back to form on the summary step to adjust selections before completing checkout.
Most authors supply Word or PDF; InDesign packages are also welcome. Share final-ish content to reduce rework—heavy edits later may need a scope update.
Treat uploads and descriptions as confidential project material; avoid sharing account passwords in the message field.
Mention your deadline in the message. Rush feasibility depends on queue and complexity—confirmation happens after review.
Describe invoicing needs in your message; teams coordinate any alternate billing workflows case by case.
Selections such as genre, page count, and add-ons calculate a reference total aligned with published pricing tiers before checkout.
Three at most: an order summary when you click Review order, a payment confirmation (with your order reference and transaction ID) after checkout, and a personal reply from the production team about your manuscript and delivery date.
Review Pricing for baseline tiers and Services for technical scope before you complete intake.
