Ready when the scope is right
Send this saved scope for a manual edition review.
Private Studio accounts are not open yet. Your calculator choices can be carried into the public inquiry form without uploading a manuscript.
The browser estimate is non-contractual and reserves no capacity. MAQUINE reviews the saved scope before any proposal.
The calculator is available for planning, but private Studio accounts and automatic proposals are not open yet. Submit the saved scope for a manual review; it creates no payable amount or capacity reservation.
Two service lanes
Custom scope and founding volume remain separate.
Choose the lane that matches the work. Neither price model is presented as a discount from the other.
Founding Capacity Program
Complete eligible editions from USD 2,990, with lower per-book pricing only at the defined 3, 6, 12, and qualified 24+ book program levels. Intake and capacity reservation remain closed.
Review the ladderHow the planning range is built
Every adjustment is visible before you proceed.
The planning model uses a language-pair base, one genre adjustment, and one source-length adjustment. Its USD 0.08 to USD 0.12 result is non-contractual and requires human review.
Language pair
Availability, market specialization, and the editorial path required for the target language.
Editorial genre
Commercial, voice-intensive, and research-heavy books receive transparent published adjustments.
Source length
Short, standard, and long-form books use clear length bands, with a 200,000-word automatic limit.
Eligibility boundary
Poetry, specialist formats, unusual complexity, and oversized projects move to a human scope review.
The commercial sequence
Calculate, request review, then proceed only after approval.
The public calculation creates no payable amount and reserves no production slot. MAQUINE must review the saved scope before any proposal, agreement, capacity confirmation, or payment step.
