self-publishing books

Thinking about self-publishing a book? We help authors turn manuscripts into professionally designed, print-ready books — without the confusion or guesswork.

Whether your project is finished or still in progress, we guide you through the design and printing side of self-publishing so you know exactly what to expect.

1 ]   Start the Conversation Early

You don’t need a finished manuscript to reach out.

Early conversations help:

  • Choose the right book size and layout

  • Avoid costly formatting changes later

  • Plan binding and page counts accurately

  • Answer questions before decisions feel overwhelming

 

If you’re unsure where to start, that’s completely normal — we’ll walk you through it.

2 ]   Book Layout and Design

We handle the full interior layout and design of your book, including:

  • Page formatting and margins

  • Font selection and consistency

  • Chapter and section styling

  • Image placement

  • Print-ready file setup

You provide the content. We make sure it looks polished, readable, and ready for production.

3 ]   Binding & Printing Options

We offer several binding styles depending on your project:

  • Softcover Perfect Bound

  • Saddle-Stitched

  • Spiral / Coil Bound

There is no minimum quantity required, making it easy to print exactly what you need.

4 ]  ISBN Barcodes

If you plan to sell your book publicly, you’ll need an ISBN.

In the U.S., ISBNs are obtained through Bowker
www.bowker.com

We do not handle ISBN registration or online distribution setup, allowing you full control over how and where your book is sold.

5 ]   What the Process Looks Like

  • Initial conversation (early is encouraged)

  • Manuscript finalized and edited

  • Layout and design

  • Proof review and revisions

  • Printing and binding

  • Finished books in your hands
