Our team of proofreaders, book designers, graphic artists, eBook converters, website designers, and printers will transform your manuscript into a beautiful work of art. Authors retain full copyright, have final say over their cover design, and determine how many copies they want printed — from 25 copies to multiple thousands. Our books are printed on high quality paper stock, with scuff-free gloss or matte lamination on the cover. We can produce all types of books — fiction, nonfiction, poetry, children’s books, chapbooks.
