What Flex Publish Is
Flex Publish is a clear, one-package path to professional self-publishing.
You start at $1,888 for up to 50,000 words, keep full ownership, and select one print interior (Black & White or Full Color). If you later want both versions, each is a separate Flex package with its own ISBN and listing.
No tiers, no pressure, no confusion—just one structured process that takes your manuscript from finished draft to published book.
Most authors invest between $2,000 and $4,500 once they add copyediting or extra word count.
You’ll see your total in writing before we begin.

Kristi Blakway, Beyond Hello
Since becoming an As You Wish Publishing author, my life has changed in ways I never expected. We sold over 1,200 copies in the first three months, and I was able to give back to my community with donations from each book sold. Publishing opened the door to speaking engagements and opportunities I didn’t even know existed. If you’re unsure who to trust with your book, I can’t recommend As You Wish Publishing enough—they make the process clear, supportive, and genuinely empowering.
Janet Zavala, The Nature of Transformation
A huge thank-you to As You Wish Publishing for creating the path that helped me write, publish, and successfully launch my book. Their support made the process feel possible—and even enjoyable. If you’ve got a book in you, or you’re ready to get it out into the world, I can’t recommend As You Wish Publishing enough.
Alicia McBride, I Feel Too Much!
As a teenager, I used to dream about seeing my book at Barnes & Noble—and now here it is. I’m so grateful I chose As You Wish Publishing. They helped turn that lifelong dream into a reality with clarity, care, and support every step of the way.

Our Philosophy
Publishing should feel clear, structured, and sustainable—for both author and publisher.
We’ve refined a system that lets you express yourself fully while we handle the professional side with calm precision.
Here’s how we work:
-
Clarity first. We lead the process; you bring the manuscript.
-
Boundaries create care. Timelines and systems keep everyone supported and on track.
-
Professional standards. We follow publishing data, not guesswork, for category and layout decisions.
-
Process trust. Authors who respect the structure get the smoothest results.
If that sounds like your style, you’ll fit right in.
Here’s how it all comes together:
