Not necessarily. For a new author, the cheapest publisher can look attractive, but the upfront price shouldn’t be the only thing to compare. I’d look at what’s actually included: editing, cover design, formatting, distribution, royalties, marketing, rights, and the contract terms. A low-cost package can become expensive if you later have to pay separately for basic services or give up rights you wanted to keep. For a first book, it makes more sense to compare the total cost and services provided rather than choosing a publisher simply because the package is cheap. A publisher that clearly explains its fees, rights, royalties, and deliverables is much easier to evaluate before signing anything.
