Self-publishing has had a long and distinguished history in this country. Some of our greatest writers—including Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Gertrude Stein, and Henry Miller—have subsidized the publication of their own books.

Authors do so because they can’t find a publisher willing to take a chance on their work or prefer to keep complete creative control of the publishing process in their own hands. For most authors, publishing a book goes beyond words. It embodies a dream that

has taken years, sometimes decades, to flower.

If you've finally reached the end of your long creative journey and you're ready to self-publish, we know you want to wrap your hands around a final product that you can truly take pride in—whether you plan to sell copies or give them away.

We want your book to make the impression that you want and it deserves. We want to make it a pleasurable experience from beginning to end for anyone who picks it up.
