Self-Publishing

With our self-publishing services, we help you publish a professional, high-quality book; our editors dedicate their time to your book and work with you.

Choose the package that suits your book: The prices are based on the minimum number of words 20,000 (for fiction and non-fiction manuscripts) and 10,000 words for poetry; if your manuscript is less than the minimum words, the quote will be as indicated. Manuscripts above the minimum number of words will be evaluated first based on the number of words.
