Origin Books has printed thousands of novels for independent authors, small presses, and mid-size publishers. We know that a well-printed novel is more than just ink on paper. The weight of the book in a reader’s hands, the way the pages lay flat, the feel of the cover stock — every detail contributes to the reading experience.
Our novel printing services cover everything from trade paperback to premium hardcover editions. We guide you through paper selection, trim size options, and cover finishing so your book meets industry standards and stands out on the shelf.
Novel Printing FAQ
What paper color do you recommend for novels?
Most fiction publishers use cream (also called natural or antique) paper for novels. It reduces glare, feels warmer to the eye, and gives a slightly thicker spine, which makes your book look more substantial on the shelf. White paper is better suited for books with interior images.
Can you print both paperback and hardcover editions?
Absolutely. We offer trade paperback with perfect binding and hardcover with dust jackets or printed case covers. Many authors choose to print both formats simultaneously to serve different market segments.
What is the typical turnaround time for novel printing?
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from proof approval to delivery. Rush services are available for tighter deadlines. We also offer advance proofs so you can review the final product before committing to a full print run.
