Publishing Your Book Yourself?

There are many reasons why you may want to publish your book yourself. More control, fewer expenses, and, if your book is successful, a higher return on your investment. But it’s not as simple as it seems.

If you aren’t going the full-service route like Quantum Discovery, your major options are Amazon Createspace and Kindle, Ingram Spark, Lightning Source, Smashwords, Bookbaby, or Lulu. There are many options for those who choose to go it alone.

But the do-it-yourself sites require you to do it yourself, i.e., they expect you to do all of the layout, design, and technical file preparation. You can’t just send them your Word document and expect a book in return. All of their detailed specifications can present a daunting hurdle even to authors with experience in Adobe InDesign or Photoshop.

Here’s where we can help.

Let us handle the setup as much or as little as you need. Do you already have a cover design but need it set up for a spark? We can assist. Need a professional-looking layout? We’re here to help. We can manage the entire process, from editing to delivering the final print-ready file.

Whether it’s a print or eBook, we do it all. Quantum Discovery is the only publishing services company in the industry to offer this feature. We serve as the ‘production department’ for more than a dozen small publishing houses. We do the work; they publish the books.
