Where you include your author bio and story blurb can depend on your book's format. Only hardcover books have a dustcover. If you are selling your book in paperback format, some of this information can go on the back cover. The rest can go on the inside pages or what is called "front matter" of the book. If you are selling your book in eBook format, all of this information will have to go on the inside pages. Here are some articles that you might find helpful, but the best resource is to look at different formats of books in your genre to see how other authors have addressed these elements.

If you are inquiring about the cost of publishing, it can vary greatly depending on your chosen path and what skills you have vs what you need to hire out (such as formatting, editing, and cover design).
