As the proud author of a new manuscript, you have undoubtedly explored ways to get into print. Perhaps you have submitted your manuscript to a number of publishers, only to receive one polite rejection after another. It is an unfortunate fact that if you are an unknown or first-time author, you are almost certain to encounter publishers who are unwilling to make any investment in your artistry, even if you have a well-written and marketable manuscript.

Or, perhaps you measure the rewards of your writing less by financial gain and more by the deep personal satisfaction and increased prestige of having written a beautifully produced book that will be read with respect and recognition by friends, family and professional colleagues. Either way, you have almost no opportunity to bring your work to public notice through traditional publishing means. However, there are ways for you to get into print. We believe that every author should have an opportunity to publish. We have several programs for you to get your work into print. One is sure to fit your particular situation and budget.

Whichever of our publishing programs you choose, your willingness to share in the costs of producing and promoting your book places you in good company. John Grisham, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allan Poe, George Bernard Shaw, Ernest Hemingway, Alexander Pope, Stephen Crane, Lord Byron, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Walt Whitman, Rudyard Kipling, Margaret Mitchell, Henry David Thoreau, and many other now-famous authors and poets all published initially at their own expense.

"Thank you all so very much for producing such a high quality book. Alexandra’s Rag-Time Band is a masterpiece from beginning to end. My cover, book structure, paper quality, artwork, back page photo, book review placements—all are stellar! . . . Thanks again for everything!"
