FloodGate Publishing LLC — an Author Development House focused on transparent author support
Short answer
FloodGate Publishing packages start at $3,500 for Book Production, which includes a standard Authors World profile page and FloodGate-hosted author presence. Author Infrastructure is $6,500 for expanded author website infrastructure beyond that profile. Launch System is $9,500. Custom work is by review with a $1,000 minimum. Submission and manuscript review are free. Payment only happens after FloodGate accepts your manuscript and you confirm scope.
Authors ask this first because publishing costs vary wildly — from free self-publishing tools to vanity-press traps with hidden upsells. First-time authors want to know what they are paying for, whether fees are upfront or backloaded, and whether a publisher charges before or after acceptance.
FloodGate publishes transparent package pricing on the website. FloodGate is not the cheapest publishing option — it is built for authors who want professional production, clear ownership, and structured execution. Submission and review are free. If your manuscript is accepted and you choose to proceed, payment follows scope confirmation — not before.
