The best of traditional and self-publishing
Traditional publishing offers professional quality but takes years, requires an agent and keeps most of your royalties. DIY self-publishing gives you control but leaves you learning ISBNs, trim sizes, metadata and retailer dashboards on your own. Our publishing service gives you the professional standards of a traditional house with the ownership and speed of self-publishing.
You make the creative decisions. We handle the technical work, so your book is set up correctly the first time and looks like it belongs next to anything in a bookstore.
What our publishing service covers
ISBNs and copyright
We guide you through buying and assigning ISBNs for each edition, prepare your copyright page and help with copyright registration and Library of Congress details so your work is protected.
Print and ebook setup
Your formatted interior and cover are uploaded to Amazon KDP and IngramSpark for paperback and hardcover, and to the major ebook stores. We check every file in the retailer previewers before submission.
Metadata that helps readers find you
Title, subtitle, description, categories, keywords and author bio are written and optimized so your book appears in the right searches. Good metadata is one of the most overlooked drivers of book sales.
Pricing and royalties
We research comparable titles in your genre and recommend list prices for each format and market, so you earn well without pricing yourself out of readers’ carts.
Proof copy and launch
A printed proof is ordered for your approval. Once you sign off, we publish and confirm your book is live across every channel.
