Are you considering self-publishing your book but unsure of the process?

Our author services provide the help you need to publish your book and gives you—the author—all the rights, creative control and all the profits!

Your book, your way.

What is Self-Publishing

Today, publishing a book is a possibility for any writer. Although traditional publishing remains an option, it is highly selective and typically expects the author to already have a significant audience established. When they choose to invest in a book, they expect it to have a quick return on their investment. They also assume all creative control.

Self-publishing your book allows:

You, the author, retain all rights and ownership
You, the author, set the price and earn all the profits
You, the author, make all creative decisions
You, the author to publish your book on any distribution channel you choose

Setting the Standard for High-Quality Self-Publishing

Anyone can write a book, upload it to KDP, and have it published in a short amount of time. In theory, it’s easy, but that’s also why self-publishing can have a poor reputation. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. 😄

The author should write well and have their work edited professionally before it’s published.

The cover design and interior formatting should be of the same level of excellence, or even better, as those of a traditional publisher.

As graphic designers with over 30 years of experience in print design, we know how to create a well-designed book. We love creating beautifully designed books, inside and out. We know how to prepare the finished files for any printer and upload them without error to the POD (Print On Demand) distributor of your choice.

Our Self-Publishing Services

Our self-publishing journey began when our authors sought help with the technical aspects of uploading their book files. We stepped in to assist them, ensuring that the process was completed correctly and relieving them of the stress associated with uploads.

Now, we help self-published authors choose and set up accounts on various online platforms essential for their books to be printed and sold. Throughout this process, the authors retain full ownership of their accounts.

The Book Release
