As a boutique publisher, we can help you set up a point of sale online to distribute digital copies (ebooks) and physical copies via print-on-demand. At the moment, we cannot help you distribute the books to physical bookstores.
We don’t take royalties. You will keep 100% of the money you make by selling your book.

If we feel like your book is a perfect match for us, we can help you market it and create a great narrative around the USP.
