Private Publishing Included Features & Optional Upgrades

For authors who have already formatted and designed their book's interior and cover files, our exclusive Private Publishing package offers EVERYTHING you need to print your full-color book in quantities as low as 5 books per order.     

Outskirts Press can print author's color interior and cover print-ready files in paperback, casebound hardback or dust-jacketed hardback format. Outskirts Press books are printed in paperback (softcover) and/or hardback (hardcover) format, so you can get just the right presentation for your book—whatever your needs. 

A paperback edition is included with your publishing package with the option to upgrade to a casebound or dust-jacket hardback edition (either in addition to your paperback or instead of a paperback).







We offer premium glossy or matte covers in a wide range of book trim size to fit every kind of book—from vivid hardback children’s books to image-rich memoirs.  You will be able to choose exactly how your book looks and feels—from the cover finish to the binding style.  See details on all available binding, paper and cover finish options for each book size.

9 (nine) trim sizes are available to self-publishing authors providing their own print-ready book files when printing full-color books.

Every Private Publishing package comes with:

  • Support from our prepress specialists
  • 1 free author copy (to verify before placing a larger order)
  • Book order volume discounts up to 20%
  • A customizable, mobile-friendly webpage for your book that you control access to


A book is only as good as the files used to print it.  That’s why our prepress team works with you to ensure your book’s files are perfect.  You’ve formatted and prepared your manuscript and book cover to look exactly how you want them—so we want to make sure your book is perfect when it’s printed.   

A print-ready file specialist will be assigned to ensure your book's interior and cover files are set up properly for our presses—before we send them to print.  If your files need adjustment that you aren't sure how to handle, your specialist will assist you in bringing your file in line with the necessary technical specifications (additional fees will apply). 

To see if your book is press-ready contact your Publishing Consultant for a copy of our Print Ready File Creation Guide.


High-Quality Print-on-Demand Printing 


Our print-on-demand book printing means you can order your book in quantities as low as 5 or as high as you can imagine, depending on your needs.  Each book is printed when it’s ordered and shipped directly to your selected destination.  

The cost of printing your book will depend on several things, including your trim size, paper quality and your choices of book binding (paperback/hardback).
