The range of fees for our services depend on your project's required tasks, complexity, estimated time and timeframe. If you just need some general consulting, we'll be glad to schedule a phone conference or an in-person meeting where we can brainstorm with you, answer questions, and give you additional resources, for $100 per hour. Writing, collection development, research, and pre-press work are priced from $50 per hour -- this is a general guideline and we'll work with you to determine an agreeable price for the work we do. We work together on projects, so you're getting twice the experience for your cost!

For website design and development we offer four pricing tiers. Each tier includes consultation time, design, and programming. Host set-up fees, ongoing hosting fees and domain name registration are additional.

We put our many years of professional experience in the children's book industry behind the planning and development of your site. We understand your needs, as well as the marketplace, and can build a site that positions you and your work in a way that a non-industry programmer can't accomplish as effectively.
