General FAQs

​​

​​

Q: What genres of books do you publish?

We also offer early readers, middle grade, young adult, children's books, poetry, and more. Our goal is to provide a platform for diverse voices and stories.

​

​

Q: What’s the difference between a traditional publisher and a publishing services company?

A: Traditional publishers take control of your book’s rights, make major changes, and take a large portion of the profits. In contrast, we offer professional services while you retain ownership and receive all royalties.

 

Q: How is a publishing services company different from self-publishing?

A: A publishing services company helps you professionally self-publish your book. We provide services like copyediting, formatting, cover design, and marketing for a one-time fee, so you don't have to handle the technical side of publishing. You maintain ownership and royalties, while we ensure a professional outcome.
