Contact UsHow much do proof or author copies cost?
When you order proof or author copies through your KDP Account, you’ll pay the author price for
your books. The author price can be calculated by multiplying the print cost for your book in your
selected marketplace multiplied by the number of copies ordered.
The print options you’ve selected, such as trim size, interior type, and page count, determine the print cost for your book. For estimated printing costs, use our calculator.
This price is the lowest price we can offer for your book. We can't offer additional discounts.
