The trade off is real. You pay for production up front instead of giving up rights and royalties. In exchange you set the price, you own the files, you keep every format, and nobody can take the book out of print because it stopped hitting a number. That's a good deal if the production is done properly. It's a bad deal if it isn't, which is the whole reason this page exists.
In addition to our publishing expertise, we also understand the importance of post-publication support. We offer a range of services including book signings, author interviews, and social media promotion to ensure your book continues to gain traction long after it hits the shelves. Our commitment to your success extends beyond the printed page, as we strive to create a lasting legacy for your work in the literary world. Let’s make your book a bestseller together!
Most authors know they want to self publish. Fewer know what they've just signed up for. Here's the honest shape of it.
There's the draft you finish. Then there's the draft a reader should meet. In between sit three different jobs that catch three different problems. Going straight to a proofread is the most common mistake in indie publishing, and the most expensive. A proofreader isn't looking for the stuff that makes people put a book down.
A print interior is locked to a trim size, with margins, gutter and a spine width that depends on your page count. An ebook reflows. The reader picks the type size, so your layout has to survive being rearranged. One file can't do both jobs. A print PDF uploaded as an ebook is the fastest route to a one star review about formatting.
Title, subtitle, series field, categories, keywords, description. That's what retail search actually reads. Two books of the same quality with different metadata don't sell the same. Categories matter most. You pick them once, they're awkward to change, and they decide which bestseller lists you're even allowed to appear on.
KDP gets you Amazon. IngramSpark gets you the wholesale channel bookshops and libraries order through. Going exclusive buys you promo tools and costs you every other retailer. Reach, bookstore availability, highest royalty per copy. Pick two, because you can't have all three.
None of this is trivia. Each one shuts a door if you get it wrong, and each one is cheaper to settle now than later.
Every month it sits in the drawer is a month nobody reads it. Tell us where the book is at and we'll give you a straight answer on what it needs.
Finished draft, half a draft, or an idea and a deadline. The answer changes what you need and what it costs, and you should know that before anyone asks you for money. Send it over and we'll tell you straight.
As a diverse publishing agency, we handle various genres and formats. Our unique, author-centric approach tailors services to your needs, from editing to marketing. We’re with you every step, turning your creative vision into a reality enjoyed by readers worldwide.
You've probably heard that publishing services take your money, take your rights and go quiet. The industry earned that reputation. So here's how we work instead.
Your rights, your royalties, your files. Nothing we make gets licensed back to us.
Scope in writing first. No work starts on a handshake and a number that moves later.
Source files, print ready files, accounts and logins. All handed over, all in your name.
If your book doesn't need a service, we'll say so. That's cheaper for you and better for us.
Real books we've worked on. Covers, interiors and distribution, all of them out in the world.
Every month it sits in the drawer is a month nobody reads it. Tell us where the book is at and we'll give you a straight answer on what it needs.
Five stages, and you sign off at every one. Nothing moves to the next stage until you've said yes to the last.
Tell us where the book is and what you want it to do. We'll tell you what it actually needs.
Scope and price agreed in writing before anyone starts. You know the number up front.
Editing, layout, cover, whatever the scope says. You approve each stage as it lands.
Final proof on the typeset pages, plus a physical proof copy before anything gets printed at volume.
Retailer setup, metadata, categories and keywords. Then the files and logins come to you.
We don't publish testimonials on our own site anymore. Ours live on Trustpilot, where you can check them yourself.
