PAYMENT:

Payment by credit card via PayPal;
Cash payment by bank transfer with a discount (contact us for details).

PUBLICATION DEADLINE:

The maximum deadline for publishing the work is 6 months from the date of delivery of all the material for editing.
Shorter deadlines should be consulted and agreed upon before signing the publishing contract.

The finished text (proofread and formatted in Word) must be sent by the author within 90 (ninety) calendar days of the contract being signed. For longer deadlines, please contact us.

STANDARDS:

* ePub: we work with other publishing plans in ePub format. These formats can be sold on platforms such as Amazon, for example, with 100% of the sales going to the author. We provide a Manual so that the author can enter the book for sale on the Portal directly in their registration.

(1) In these Economic Plans, a cover option is created from the references sent by the authors in our publication form in the most complete way possible. Specific adjustments can be made to the artwork.

(2) The Economic Plans provide for the layout of the entire text (titles, quotations, references, paragraphs, among others), creation and graphic design using a unique and exclusive template pre-defined by the Pimenta Cultural publishing house.

(3) We provide an Image Bank, free of charge, for the author to search for and indicate the image that best represents their work. Based on the chosen image, our art department creates the graphic design and cover art. The cover is sent to the author for checking and approval. These packages include the production of a cover proposal, by sending the references, and, if necessary, the author can request specific adjustments.

(4) DOI registration for the work and per chapter (in the case of an organized work), with one DOI registration for every 15 pages. Example: 300-page text divided by 15 pages = a total of 20 DOI units. For longer DOIs, please consult the prices;

(5) The Economic Plan includes the layout of 10% of the total text pages containing tables, images and graphs. Example: 150 pages of which 10% = 15 elements. Larger quantities, please consult.

(6) International Direct Link: the sale of copies via international Direct Link has no additional costs.

(7) Global distribution: sold in more than 40,000 marketplaces and in catalogs of international physical bookstores. Among them: Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes&Noble, Garders, Hachette Book Group, Ingram, Kobo, Libri, Scribd and others. In this modality, only a proof printing cost is applied, which will be applied after the work has been indexed. This mandatory cost passed on by the partner refers to the printing of a proof copy, postage, international taxes and duties. The exact amount can only be informed when the work is ready and indexed in the Direct Link and will be informed to the author so that they can accept or refuse the Global Distribution.

(8) We print from one copy in the Printing on Demand (PoD) system. We print any quantity at printing houses specializing in book publishing. We don’t work with fast printers.

(9) We print the works in any format and in the desired quantity. If the author requests printing at the printer’s direct price, 10 copies should be enough. Below this amount, only in the PoD system. For these promotional packages, the format is as follows: 14×21.6cm closed, cover in supreme 250g with 4×0 colors (color cover), 7x7cm ear, matte bopp lamination (front), 75g offset core with 1×1 colors (printing of the core in black and white), pur glue, refile.

(10) Artwork for personalized promotional pieces: 2 social media cards, 1 physical banner, 1 release of up to 2 pages. The release will be sent to the author and published on the publisher’s website and sent to our database of university SECOMs. Investment: R$ 300.00. We also carry out broader marketing plans with other promotional pieces, videos and various actions. Prices on request.

(11) When calculating pages, consider the text in Word A4 format, 1.5 spacing, Times or Arial 12 font, right and top margins 2.5; left and bottom margins 3.0.

Once the contract has been signed, we will send you guidelines to help you organize the work.
