Three levels of publishing support

Choose how much help you want.

Choose the level of support that fits how you want to publish. You keep your rights, royalties, and Amazon KDP account.

Maurice Johnson, founder of Self Publish Me

I've spent my whole life as a working creative — as a musician, an author and a publisher. Over the years I've worked with scores of authors, and I still work with each one personally.

Publishing a book together is an intimate journey. There are a lot of moving parts, and every project gets my full attention. You're proud of what you've written — and we're just as proud of what we do. The bottom line: we won't put out anything that would embarrass you, or us.

Whichever path you choose, you keep your book, your rights, your royalties and your Amazon account. My job is to make sure you don't have to figure this out alone.
