Since 1996, our full-service book production company based in Oregon has offered comprehensive services for authors at every stage of book creation, from writing to editing to publishing to marketing. Most of all, at Dancing Moon Press, we love stories and we love writers. We will treat your book with personal attention and collaborate with you to create a better book than you thought possible.
