What We Offer
Professional self-publishing under the As You Wish Publishing imprint
You start at $2,888 for up to 100,000 words, keep full ownership, and select one print interior (Black & White or Full Color). If you later want both versions, each is a separate publishing 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 $2,888 and $4,500 once they add copyediting or extra word count.
You’ll see your total in writing before we begin.
We do not accept second editions, revised editions, reissues, or republication of previously published books.

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, structured, and straightforward from start to finish.

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 clear process made each step manageable and well-organized. If you’ve got a book in you and you’re ready to get it out into the world, I can’t recommend As You Wish Publishing enough.

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 and a well-run publishing process.

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 consistency. 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.
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 Draft2Digital accounts, so royalties are paid directly to you, ordering access remains open, and your publishing setup stays active long after the project ends.
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.

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.
-
Are willing to set up and manage your own IngramSpark and Draft2Digital accounts, with guidance and support resources provided. Are comfortable managing your own IngramSpark and Draft2Digital accounts and communicating directly with those platforms if issues arise.
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. (References, glossaries, and end notes are fine.)
If that sounds like you, you’ll love how smooth the publishing process feels from start to finish.
