The total depends on what your manuscript needs and how you want to publish it. These are the main factors:
- Editing level. A light proofread costs far less than developmental editing for a first draft.

- Formats. Paperback, hardcover and ebook each need their own setup.
- Distribution and marketing. A basic listing costs less than a full launch campaign.
