Collaborative Independent Publishing is …

Co-Creative

The author is invited to collaborate with experts in editing, design, and independent publishing.

Empowering

The author participates in all aspects of the independent publishing process, retains full copyright, and owns all the files.

A Unique Journey

The process is specific to each author and each book–it is an adventure with a roadmap.

Rewarding

With full control over the final product, the author feels ownership of the content and design.
