Once you’ve written the book, you have an important decision to make. Here’s why self-publishing trumps traditional book publishing — particularly for entrepreneurs:
Writing non-fiction books is a rewarding way to share your knowledge with other people. If you’re an expert on something, you can write a non-fiction book explaining it. Examples of some excellent self-published non-fiction books include:
If you’ve written a non-fiction book, the next step is publishing it. For many authors, self-publishing their non-fiction work is the best solution. When you self-publish, you’ll see benefits like:
Self-publishing is a fast, effective way to take your book from a file on your computer to a physical object you can sell without giving up your rights to a publisher.
Once you’ve decided to publish your book, it’s time to find the right self-publishing platform. Books Publishing Company is a top-tier self-publishing service that will support your book every step of the way from conception and publication to marketing.

Once a book is written, it’s time to polish it up. Editing your work can be
difficult. You may be too attached to your work to edit it effectively, or you may have spent so
much time working on the book that you’ve become blind to typos and mistakes.
That’s where Books Publishing Company’s book editing services can help. You can work with one of our experienced
book editors to polish and prepare your book for publication. Whether you need simple line
editing to spot mistakes or in-depth developmental editing to tighten up your book, Books Publishing Company’s
book editors will help you make your writing the best it can be.
Books must be carefully formatted to create a cohesive structure before publishing;
specific formatting depends on your preferred publishing method(s) and how you want the final
product to look.
Non-fiction books often require in-depth formatting. For instance, cookbooks, art books, and
self-help books all need specific book layouts to make them legible and functional. Work with
Books Publishing Company book design services to format your book for your chosen publication method.
Many people do judge a book by its cover. You need a high-quality cover to make your
book appealing to your target audience.
The graphic designers at Books Publishing Company provide top-tier book cover design services for
non-fiction books like yours. This service ensures that your book makes a great first impression
on potential readers.

publishing services can help you get your book into physical form.

used, so your final product will always live up to your expectations. Plus, you can order
hardcover books, softcover books, or both.
Printing your books isn’t the end of the story. The final step is book marketing.
You’ll need to get the word out about your book, so potential readers know it exists.
With Books Publishing Company’s book marketing services, you can start spreading the word about your new book
and winning sales. These services include PR tools, marketing copy, and an author website
designed to get your book in front of the people most likely to buy it.

Antonio Lopez is a fantastic project manager. This is my first experience with publishing although I have written many newsletter articles. Antonio's patience and support have been instrumental in me wanting to write more. As an 85 year old retired educator, I have acquired many ideas through the years for children's books and teacher training support which I am enjoying to share through publishing. Please extend my compliments to the entire support staff. Illustrations are fantastic and the proofing is outstanding. Thank you.

My experience with Emma Felix as senior project manager was great ! Her team was responsive, detail-oriented and open to comments. I got to work at my pace. That made a huge difference. The typesetting was perfect. The team produced my eye-catching book cover in a flash ! I had a great manuscript to start with. Now, I have a fantastic book to sell. All the best to Emma and her team.

I had been thinking about publishing my shocking diary experiences with my ex-wife & browsed on self-publishing in mid October 2024. Having clicked on the page, Zach Francis popped up on a chat box “how can I help you?”. I told him my thoughts & we chatted for maybe an hour? I sent my (very) draft WORD file & at the end, I agreed to sign up. Next up, I was contacted by Cheryl Ann who has been my contact & constant companion throughout the process of cleaning up the document into a 500 page book. Daily “pings” on the dedicated platform to communicate & send document updates, book cover, video trailer etc. Cheryl must work long hours & is dedicated.

I have been very impressed with Amazon publishing services. Felix Larsson was fantastic at the commencement of the program. He clearly explained the cost and processes and they have reflected my experience so far. Incredibly reasonably priced and has helped me fulfil my publishing dream. He also checks in and is super helpful. Harvey West then took over and has been working hard to get the illustrations completed and the project finalised. I have appreciated their commitment and attention to my needs as an author. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with the team on future publication projects.

Contact our dedicated team, and let’s embark on this exciting Amazon publishing journey together. Your story deserves to be shared with the world, and we’re ready to make it happen.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your project and the services required. However, Books Publishing Company offers streamlined publishing solutions designed for efficiency without compromising quality. If your manuscript is already refined and near publication-ready, we can have it available in the marketplace in as little as 7–10 business days. Need a faster turnaround? Connect with a publishing consultant to explore expedited options tailored to your timeline.
The key distinction lies in durability and presentation. A paperback features a flexible, lightweight cover bound with adhesive, making it more portable and cost-effective. A hardcover, on the other hand, is bound with a rigid, cloth- or paper-wrapped board, offering greater longevity and a premium feel. While paperbacks are ideal for casual readers, hardcovers elevate the reading experience, making them perfect for collectors and high-end releases.
Absolutely. Every detail is yours to decide. At the outset of your publishing journey, we provide a curated selection of premium options for ink quality, paper weight, and book dimensions. Once your book is formatted, the size is locked in, ensuring a seamless final layout. However, you retain the flexibility to adjust paper weight and ink quality at any time via your personalized author dashboard.

You maintain complete creative control throughout the publishing process, with our expert team offering guidance and strategic direction. Every final decision, down to the smallest detail, is yours to make.
Your royalties are deposited directly into your bank account—100% yours, always. Books Publishing Company does not take a percentage of your earnings. Your royalties will be net of the distribution platform’s fees (such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers). Every sale is yours to keep, ensuring that your hard work is rewarded in full.
Your book’s reach depends on the publishing plan you select. With our most comprehensive package, your work is integrated into one of the industry’s largest global distribution networks, spanning 40+ leading platforms.

Amazon Optimization is a pivotal stage in the publishing process, ensuring your book reaches its intended audience. At Books Publishing Company, we go beyond basic keyword selection—we conduct in-depth market research using advanced SEO tools to strategically position your book within Amazon’s search ecosystem.
By leveraging carefully curated keywords and phrases, we enhance your book’s discoverability on major search engines, including Amazon, Google, and Bing. Our expertise eliminates the guesswork, allowing your book to organically attract readers without relying on costly advertising campaigns.
Keywords are the gateway to your book’s visibility. The most effective keywords are short, targeted phrases (typically 2–3 words long) that align with what readers are actively searching for.
Amazon enforces strict guidelines for keywords—violations can result in rejection. To ensure compliance, avoid:
1. Mentions of other authors or books
2. Sales rank claims (e.g., "bestselling")
3. Promotional terms (e.g., "free" or "discounted")
4. Irrelevant keywords that do not directly relate to your book
At Books Publishing Company, we handle this process meticulously, utilizing advanced keyword research tools to pinpoint the most effective terms—so you don’t have to navigate the complexities alone.
Print-on-demand (POD) is a game-changer in modern publishing. No longer must authors order books in bulk, risking storage headaches and upfront costs. With POD, your book is printed and shipped only when a reader places an order, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal waste.
Your book will be available worldwide through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and countless other retailers—without you having to manage inventory or fulfillment. It’s cost-effective, sustainable, and hassle-free.
Want to see a physical copy before full distribution? Our press proof service allows you to review a printed copy before committing to larger print runs.
Print-on-demand offers authors unparalleled flexibility:
✅ No upfront bulk printing costs – Print copies only when there’s demand.
✅ Global distribution – Your book is available across major online retailers.
✅ Zero storage hassles – No need to warehouse or ship books yourself.
