Temple Seven Press

Publish your book.

A real imprint publishes your work — hands-free, no upfront cost on the platform, and you take home a bigger share of every sale. Here's the math, in full, before you decide anything.

Author take-home, per sale. Don't take our word for it — here's the field, side by side.

T7 figures are net-profit basis (list price minus print cost); we absorb the payment-processing fees, not you (print uses an illustrative print-on-demand cost for a ~300-page paperback). Competitor figures are illustrative estimates drawn from each platform's published royalty terms — those rates can change, so verify current terms directly with each provider.

The terms, plainly

  • Platform tier — $0 upfront. You keep 75% of net profit; we handle listing, print fulfillment, and hosting.
  • + Amazon tier — 70% + a one-time KDP setup fee. Pay $59.99 upfront, or choose $99.99 deducted from your book's first sales (nothing out of pocket). We upload and manage your KDP listing (cover, formatting, compliance). It's an exclusive Amazon arrangement, with a 90-day wind-down if you ever leave.
  • You own your work. You sign a short agreement + sworn affidavit confirming you hold the rights — that's what lets us publish it safely.
  • Quality standard. Every book must have a T7-standard styled interior. Already have one? No charge. Need it done? Our formatting service handles it from a Word doc.

Full agreement, affidavit, and disclosures are presented before you sign — nothing is hidden.
