The Secret to All Things Franchising
I’ve participated in several collaboration projects, and I loved the experience so much that I went on to create my own. As You Wish Publishing made the process both easy and genuinely enjoyable. Their team is highly knowledgeable and professional, and they work with authors across all levels of writing experience. As You Wish Publishing is a heart-centered business that creates meaningful opportunities for people to share their life experiences in service of others. Highly recommended.

BeLEEve
As You Wish Publishing has been an incredible partner on my writing journey. From the very beginning, their step-by-step publishing process was clear, organized, and easy to follow—something I deeply appreciated as a new author.
Now, as I write my first novel, after BeLEEve, there is no question that As You Wish Publishing is the publisher for me. Their guidance, kindness, and expertise make the entire process feel possible—and even exciting. I am grateful for their dedication to helping authors bring their work into the world with confidence.
I highly recommend AYWP!

🖋 No Finished Manuscript Required to Apply
Apply once your manuscript is nearly finished. You will need at least fifteen manuscript pages for the readiness review before your publishing interview.
💰 Author Ownership
Retain the copyright in your work and own your IngramSpark and Amazon KDP accounts. Each platform provides its sales statements and pays you directly under its terms.
📅 Flexible Timeline
Move through each publishing step within a clear, structured process.
🤝 Professional Team
Every stage follows a clear, proven structure from submission to finished book.
What Makes Us Different from Other Publishers
Many assisted publishers offer broad retailer access. We do too.
The difference is how it’s structured—and who controls it.
We publish through author-owned IngramSpark and Amazon KDP accounts, so the platforms provide sales statements and pay you directly. After our contracted publishing services are complete, you continue managing your accounts and published editions, subject to each platform’s requirements.
We focus on professional production and durable publishing infrastructure—not bundled marketing promises, ranking pushes, or hype-driven launches. The result is a clean, sustainable setup built for long-term availability, not a single moment.
Our Publishing Process
Choose your publishing package
Start with the base package ($5,776 for up to 100,000 words) and purchase the applicable excess-word enhancement if your manuscript exceeds 100,000 words.
Submit your manuscript within 180 calendar days of purchase
We’ll confirm receipt and begin the publishing workflow outlined in your checklist.
Formatting and cover design bring your book to life
You approve each stage before we move forward. Everything is handled professionally and in order.
Publish your paperback, hardcover, and eBook
AYW aims to publish your book within approximately 90 days after the interior and cover are finalized and the required files, publishing accounts, and platform verifications are ready. This is an estimated timeline.

Is This Publishing Process a Good Fit for You?
This publishing process is a great fit if you:
-
Have a finished or nearly finished manuscript and want to self-publish professionally.
-
Appreciate clear systems, timelines, and communication.
-
Prefer to keep ownership and creative control while letting a professional team handle the technical parts.
-
Can follow step-by-step instructions and value structure, clarity, and independence.
Not a fit if your book is any of the following:
-
Children’s books, audiobooks, erotica, cookbooks, coloring books, photo books, or any manuscript that requires indexing, including academic books. (Plain-text References, Resources, Bibliographies, Glossaries, and Appendices are permitted. Footnotes and endnotes are not supported.)
-
We do not accept books previously self-published or published by another publisher or publishing service. A revised edition may be eligible only when AYW published the first edition and expressly accepts a new publishing package for the revision.
If that sounds like you, this publishing process will serve you well.
As You Wish Publishing works exclusively with authors who reside in the United States and is vetted and approved by the Alliance of Independent Authors.
