Publish Your Book With 100% of Your Rights and Royalties, Still Intact
Partnership publishing means you get a publisher's editing, design, and distribution without signing away what a traditional deal takes. You keep 100% of your rights and 100% of your royalties. We handle the editing passes, cover design, formatting, ISBN and metadata, and distribution to the retailers readers actually use. Most manuscripts move from final draft to published book in 3 to 5 months.
This is for you if
- You have a finished manuscript, or one close to finished, and want it published properly.
- You want your name on the cover and your rights in your own hands, not a publisher's.
- You want a book that looks and reads like it came from a real publisher, not a print-on-demand shortcut.
This isn't for you if
- You're looking for a traditional deal with an advance. That path exists, but it isn't this one.
- You want to skip editing entirely. Every book here gets a professional edit pass before it ships.
- You want someone else's name to carry the book. Every published author keeps their name, their rights, their royalties.
Exactly what's included
- A full editing pass: developmental, line, and copy edit, in that order
- Professional cover design, with your input and approval at every round
- Interior formatting for print and ebook, built to retailer specifications
- ISBN registration and metadata setup, done once and done correctly
- Distribution to major retailers and library and wholesale channels

This is the core offer: the Ignite stage of the EPIC Publishing Path, where a manuscript becomes a real, distributed, professionally produced book, under your name, with your rights and royalties intact.
Partnership publishing sits between two extremes. Self-publishing alone hands you the rights but leaves every piece of production and distribution on your desk. Traditional publishing hands you a team, but takes your rights and often years to say yes. This is the door in between.
Frequently asked questions
Do I keep my rights and royalties?
Yes. 100% of both, always. That is the difference between partnership publishing and a traditional deal: you get the reach of a publisher without signing away what a traditional contract takes.
How is this different from self-publishing on my own?
Self-publishing alone means you do the editing, design, formatting, and distribution setup yourself, or hire each piece separately. Partnership publishing bundles a professional team around a manuscript you already own outright.
How is this different from a vanity press?
A vanity press profits from selling you services regardless of the book's quality, and some quietly take rights too. We publish our contract highlights in plain language and our process in public. Read the full answer at /trust.
How long does publishing take once the manuscript is done?
Most books move from a finished manuscript to publication in 3 to 5 months: editing, design, formatting, and distribution setup, run in sequence with your review built in.
What if my manuscript needs heavy editing?
That's normal, not a problem. The developmental edit exists for exactly this, and it happens before line and copy edits so structural issues get fixed once, not three times.
