 “Unbelievable!
That was the word-of-the-day for me the day my author’s copies arrived. I said the word 'unbelievable' so many times that day, I lost count.
The look of my book met every single one of my expectations and then some. I never realized that the vision for the book I had in my head since day one could be so fully and so easily realized.
A mere three months after initially contacting Outskirts, I’m a published author!
Unbelievable! With the help of my author rep, Michelle, and, of course, Chris (Director of Author Support), my book is an actual, three-dimensional object that others can buy. For anyone who wants to keep their manuscript exactly as they intended and have complete control over every aspect of the publishing process, Outskirts Press is your best option, too.”

TOP 4 PUBLISHING QUESTIONS
(AND ANSWERS)
-
How will people be able to buy my book once it is published?
Your book will be for sale online through many different book retailers such as:
- Amazon
- Barnes & Noble
- Borders
Additionally, you receive your own free webpage (don't worry, we design it for you, but you may modify it whenever you want without any programming).
Your book will be distributed through wholesalers and publication databases like:
- Ingram
- Baker & Taylor
- Bowker's Books-in-Print
- How do you help me market and promote my book after publication?
No other publisher offers what we offer. The exclusive Outskirts Press Marketing COACH offers Creative Online Assistance, Coaching, and Help by sharing marketing tactics, promotional opportunities, and general recommendations for years after your book is published.
Your free author tool kit inside your Author's Center allows you to manage your free Author Webpage whenever you want. And you can produce (and modify) professional sales sheets whenever you need them.
We offer all the marketing materials you will need, including bookmarks, business cards, postcards and two different sizes of posters. Whatever you order is designed and shipped straight to your house. Not just templates that you have to print elsewhere. These are the real marketing materials featuring your book that you can immediately start using.
Plus, every book we publish receives its own Internet webpage, which you can customize with your book synopsis, a sample chapter, and you author biography. You can even change the content of your webpage whenever you want, and your changes are made instantly.
- How do I get paid?
Every quarter Outskirts Press mails royalty checks via first-class mail ranging from hundreds to tens-of-thousands of dollars.
The royalty amount you earn is up to you. (Isn't that a refreshing idea?) Step 7 of your pre-production process allows you to set your own retail price, discount, and royalty in advance so you know all your pricing beforehand.
- How do I know I can trust you?
Outskirts Press is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.
We are active members of many large and reputable writing & publishing organizations throughout the country, including:
