How Much Does a Missionary Book Cost, and What's Included?

A single one-time payment of $149 covers everything from your missionary's unique email address through your first printed book. There are no subscriptions and no hidden fees.

How it works

Your $149 purchase includes a unique email address for your missionary, automatic email-to-chapter processing for the entire mission, automatic photo capture, optional grammar and spelling cleanup, online preview and editing tools, and your first hardbound book up to 300 pages. A high-resolution digital PDF download is included at no extra charge.

Beyond that base package, two things can add to your total:

• Extra pages. If your finished book runs longer than 300 pages, additional pages are $0.30 each.

• Extra copies. Additional printed copies of the same finished book start at $69.99 each, useful for grandparents, siblings, or the missionary themselves.

What this means for you

Most families never pay for extra pages. A typical 18-month to two-year mission with weekly emails produces roughly 200 to 300 pages. The only cost most families add on top of the base purchase is ordering extra printed copies for other family members, which is entirely optional.

Because this is a one-time purchase, there is nothing to remember to cancel and nothing that renews. You pay once, and your book, your digital PDF, and your online editing tools are yours.

Common questions

What happens if my book goes over 300 pages? Any pages beyond 300 are billed at $0.30 each when you place your order. Since most missions produce fewer than 300 pages of content, this rarely adds a significant amount.

Can I order extra copies for family members? Yes. Additional copies of the same finished book start at $69.99 each.

Will I be charged again later, or is this a subscription? No. This is a one-time purchase. There are no recurring charges or subscriptions of any kind.

Is the digital PDF an extra cost? No. A high-resolution PDF download is included with every order at no additional charge.
