Pricing a Legacy Bound Project
From the first consultation to the delivery of your book, your Legacy Bound project is truly your own. The process and product β and, by extension, the pricing β can be customized in a variety of ways. However, itβs helpful to have an idea of what a typical project entails and costs to see how projects can be expanded or condensed to suit your vision.
Sample project: A life history of a married couple, complete with prologue, four substantial chapters, and epilogue, totaling 80 pages and including 40 digitized photographs and mementos. The Legacy Bound book is hardcover with a dustjacket.

This type of project would cost between $1,275 and $1,785 (including the cost of one Legacy Bound book). My current rate is $17 per hour. I am also happy to discuss a price threshold.
You can see how the Legacy Bound process is wholly customizable. Want to bring down the cost? Consider a project with a narrower focus on a particular life stage, or perhaps a beautiful book of transcribed interviews with photos β complete with an audio disc of the interviews! Ready to embark on a more elaborate historical journey? A greater number of interviews, in-depth historical and genealogical research, and outsourced graphic design and bookbinding services will increase the cost of your project.
