With the Economy Package, Outskirts Press will help you self-publish your book in paperback format (with the ability to add an optional eBook and/or audiobook format) allowing you to reach readers on every platform—because we know that more formats mean more readers which means more sales.
Published books for Economy authors will be 6x9 with a glossy cover and your choice of white or creme paper.
Several years ago when I decided to write my first book, I searched diligently for a company that offered the quality options and support that I felt I required. Coming from a background in advertising and public relations as well as being the owner of an antique business, I knew from personal experience and from the trade that a lot of the outfits calling themselves "experts" to self-published authors were anything but. The horror stories were abundant!
I decided on Outskirts Press partly as a leap of faith and partly from their excellent track record. I'm delighted to say that my decision to trust Outskirts with "my baby" has paid off many times over. I am currently writing my fifth novel and will once again put my manuscript into their hands. The customer service is excellent and I have never doubted the skills of the editors, proofreaders, cover artists and author representatives that I have been assigned to work with.
I have won two CIPA EVVY Awards which would not have been possible without Outskirt Press. Am I happy with Outskirts Press? You'd better believe it!

I felt that I was in the hands of a pro...
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.
— David Matityahu Ben Avraham, author of There's No Such Thing as Magic Blood
The entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional...
Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.
— Paneque y Diaz, author of More Than What They Seemed
I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates…
My representative Jamie was always extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my book publication. She always responded very quickly to requests and was always helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great role model and a great asset to the Outskirts Press family. I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates and also look forward to doing more business in the future. I am extremely pleased with my book publication and consider this a major milestone in my life . Thank you all very much...
— Lawrence N. Weston, author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
I'm delighted with the outcome...
I was very happy with my author rep's responses to me. She did a superb job of answering my questions and helping me through the editing process. She was always available when I needed her. I'm delighted with the outcome--my book looks good and it's selling! Thank you.
— Kathleen O'Brien, author of Reclaim Your Right To Grow Old
I have been very pleased with the way OP helped...
I have been very pleased with the way OP helped and handled the publishing of both my books. Tina was my first great agent and Dana continued that care and concern. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to all who are now asking "How can I get published? Please keep up the good work and the integrity you have with your company. May God bless you all for blessing your clients the way you do!
— Charlene Hendricks, author of Times of Refreshing
A great experience with Outskirts Press...
A great experience with Outskirts Press. I learned a lot in this process. I will do it all over again. Thank you so much.
— Esther A. Ota, author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality…
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
— Nancy L. Regas, author of The Art of Being a School Counselor
Thanks, Outskirts Press...
What a blockbuster learning experience I had being a part of self publishing with Outskirts Press! I felt empowered to the next challenge by both Allison and Dana. Their professional guidance and clear instructions when I needed help was crucial to feeling I could tackle the next step. I look forward to the experience with the marketing team. Thanks, Outskirts Press.
— Barbara Drinkwine, author of Lima Beans for Breakfast

Outskirts Press changed my life for the better. They turned my adoption memoir into a book that is not only beautiful to look at, it is pleasurable to read, easy to purchase online, and in less than a month already has had a profound impact on many people. A truly amazing company with a heart. Deepest gratitude!
— Paul Kimball, author of We Are All Human Beings
Everyone worked hard to create an awesome final product…
The Outskirts Press team was helpful, attentive, prompt and detail oriented during the publishing process. It really felt like a team effort, and everyone worked hard to create an awesome final product that was my fully published book!
— Eric B, author of Realm of the Invader
Thanks for a great job...
Having just published my eighth book with Outskirts Press, I can attest to it being a great experience, and I look forward to publishing number nine. Thanks for a great job.
— James A. Hunter, author of Soft And Gentle 8
I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press...
I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press for helping me getting my book (Storms of Jaycard) into print. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would write a book and have it published. Once again, I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press for making my book dream come true.
