Why authors choose us
You bring the book. We bring the production team.
Publishing a book well takes editors, designers, formatters and people who understand how retailers work. Finding and managing each of them yourself is a project in its own right.
We put those specialists behind a single point of contact. You make the creative decisions; we make sure they are carried out properly, in the right order, with nothing left to chance.
- Plain-language guidance at each decision
- Scope and next steps explained before work begins
- Honest advice, including when a service is not needed
FAQ
Questions authors ask us
Can I publish on Amazon myself?
Yes. Amazon KDP is free to use and you can publish there directly at kdp.amazon.com. We are an independent company, not affiliated with Amazon, and we charge only for the editing, design, formatting and publishing support you choose.
Are you affiliated with Amazon?
No. Self Publishing Excellence is an independent publishing-services company. We are not owned by, endorsed by or officially partnered with Amazon or Kindle Direct Publishing.
Do I keep the rights to my book?
Yes. Authors retain ownership of their work, and any agreement we make should say so clearly.
Can I choose individual services instead of a full package?
Yes. You can hire us for editing only, a cover only, formatting only, or any combination your book needs.
How long does it take to publish a book?
Timelines depend on manuscript length, editing needs and how quickly feedback is returned. We will give you a realistic estimate after reading your project.
Do you guarantee sales or bestseller status?
No. No honest publisher can. We focus on producing a professional book and giving it a well-prepared launch.
What do I need to get started?
A manuscript or an idea, plus a short description of what you want to achieve. Fill in the inquiry form or call us and we will take it from there.
