The problem
Uploading a book is easy. Publishing one well is not
Anyone can upload a Word file to a self-publishing platform in an afternoon. The trouble shows up later: a cover that looks wrong as a thumbnail, margins that swallow words into the spine, an ebook with broken chapter breaks, a book description that reads like a back-cover blurb from 1985, and categories so broad the book disappears.
Each of those problems is fixable, but most authors only find them after the first reviews arrive. Our book publishing service exists to catch them before release, and to explain each decision so you understand your own book's setup.

How it works
Four steps from manuscript to bookshelf
1. Requirements
Share your manuscript and tell us your formats, your readers and any deadline. We send a written scope and quote.
2. Manuscript preparation
Editing if needed, then interior formatting and cover work, each signed off by you before the next stage.
3. Proof review
You review digital proofs, and a printed proof copy where the platform offers one, before anything goes live.
4. Release
We publish the book, check the live listing and help you share it with your readers and network.
Add what you need
Services that connect to publishing
Book writing
If the manuscript is not finished, our ghostwriters can write it with you from notes, interviews or a draft.
Book editing
Developmental, line and copy editing, plus a final proofread, depending on what the manuscript needs.
Cover design
A cover built for your genre that still reads clearly at thumbnail size on a retailer page.
Book marketing
Launch planning, author website, social media and outreach once the book is ready.
Choosing a service
How to compare book publishing services
Before you sign with any publishing service, ask four questions. Whose name is on the ISBN and the platform account? Who receives the royalties, and is any share taken? What exactly is included in the price, written down? And can you take your files and leave if you want to?
Be wary of packages that promise bestseller status, guaranteed sales or a set number of reviews. No service can honestly guarantee any of those. What a good service can promise is a book that is well edited, properly designed and correctly set up, which gives it a fair chance once readers find it.
Pricing
What book publishing costs
Our book publishing service starts at $250 for preparing and releasing a manuscript that is already edited. Editing, custom cover design, illustrations and marketing are priced separately because they depend on the length and condition of the book.
If you would rather have most of the work in one price, see our publishing packages. Either way, you get a written scope and a fixed quote before work begins.

Questions about book publishing
Still unsure about something? Talk to a specialist — no script, no sales pitch.
The publishing service starts at $250 for a finished, edited manuscript. Editing, cover design and marketing are quoted on top because they depend on the book's length and condition. We send a written scope with a fixed price, so you know the full cost before you commit to anything.
If it has been through at least one professional edit and a proofread, it is probably close. If friends and family are the only people who have read it, it likely needs editing first. Send it to us and we will tell you honestly which stage it is at and what that would cost.
Usually on Amazon in print and Kindle, and through wider retail and library channels if you choose them. Which platforms make sense depends on your genre and readers. We explain the trade-offs, such as Kindle exclusivity versus selling ebooks on every store, before you decide.
We recommend publishing through platform accounts and ISBNs in your name, so the royalties go straight to you and the book stays yours. Ask us to confirm the ownership terms for your project in writing before you start. It also means you can see your own sales reports and change the price whenever you like.
Each book is quoted with its own timeline. Preparing an edited manuscript is much quicker than a project that also includes editing and a custom cover. Platform review times and your own proof approvals add time as well, and we build both into the schedule.
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. We make sure the book is professionally edited, designed and listed, and we can plan marketing with you. Sales depend on the book, its market and the promotion behind it.
