Publishing

Publishing that keeps you in control

Publishing involves dozens of decisions: platforms, formats, ISBNs, categories, pricing and distribution. We guide you through each one and set up your book in accounts that belong to you, so royalties and sales reports come straight to you.

Whether you need ebook publishing, paperback and hardcover editions, wider bookstore distribution or a print run, you receive a written plan before anything is submitted.

Your accounts, your royalties

Books are set up in accounts in your name, so sales reports and royalty payments come directly to you.

Wide availability

We help you choose the right mix of Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and other channels so readers, bookstores and libraries can find your book.

Correct metadata

Categories, keywords, descriptions and ISBN details are prepared carefully, because they decide where your book appears in search.

No surprises

You receive a written plan with each step, cost and timeline before your book is submitted to any platform.

Yes. Books are published in accounts in your name, and you keep your rights and royalties.

Many authors use both. We recommend a setup based on where your readers buy books and which formats you need.

Owning your ISBNs keeps you in control as publisher of record. We can register them in your name.
