How Much Does It Cost to Publish an Academic Book?
Publishing an academic book doesn’t have to be expensive or take years. At Editorial Cuadernos de Sofía, we offer three accessible packages designed for different needs and budgets: prices starting from $899 with basic options to complete premium services.
Our prices are up to 70% cheaper than traditional university presses, without sacrificing academic rigor. Each book includes certified peer review (COPE), automatic indexing in DOAB, Google Scholar and Crossref, free hosting forever, and distribution to over 3,200 libraries around the world.
The result? Your research reaches global visibility, meets open access mandates (Horizon Europe, NIH, FONDECYT, ANID), and is published in 6-12 months. Below, we break down exactly what each package includes and how to choose the one that best fits your project.
