Your Story Is Ready. Let’s Get It Published.
Publishing a novel begins with preparing your manuscript, then moving through editing, cover design, interior formatting, and distribution. Outskirts Press provides full-service novel publishing, guiding you through each step so your book meets professional publishing standards. Whether you write contemporary fiction, romance, thriller, literary fiction, fantasy, or sci-fi, our team ensures your novel is beautifully produced and ready for readers worldwide.
Novellas follow the same publishing steps as full-length novels but often require more attention to pacing, structure, and cover positioning. Outskirts Press offers editing, design, and formatting services tailored to novellas, helping authors publish shorter fiction with the same level of professionalism as any full-length book.
Our novel publishing services include professional copyediting, custom cover design, interior layout, book production, printing, and worldwide distribution. You remain in control of your text, characters, and creative direction, while our team handles the technical work required to publish a high-quality fiction book. This approach gives you the benefits of professional publishing without giving up your rights.
Self-publishing fiction does not have to be a do-it-yourself experience. Outskirts Press handles editing, design, formatting, and distribution while you stay focused on your story. Many authors choose our full-service model to avoid the challenges of learning publishing software, design tools, or distribution logistics.
You can publish novellas and short stories directly through Outskirts Press. Our team ensures your work is formatted professionally and presented with a cover that reflects your voice and genre. Whether you’re exploring where to publish a novella or where to self-publish short stories, we offer a simple, guided publishing process that results in a beautiful finished book.
