Answers to a few of our most common questions
How do I know Publish Pros is legitimate?
Publish Pros has been a registered South Carolina business since 2012. We hold a registered trademark on the name "Publish Pros" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and we're a proud member of the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA).
Our reviews are public, verifiable, and written by real authors—with high ratings on Google and Trustindex.
We’re real people, with a real office, helping real authors publish real books, and we're happy to jump on a video call so you can see our smiling faces.
Do you take royalties or control my book in any way?
Nope. None. Zero.
You own your book, your ISBNs, your accounts, and your payouts. We don’t take a percentage of sales, we don’t collect your royalties, and we don’t sit between you and your money.
We also don’t act as a gatekeeper.
You’ll set up your own Amazon and Ingram accounts, and your sales reports and payments go directly to you. When it’s time to upload files or communicate with a distributor, we simply “borrow” access so we can do the work on your behalf — then hand everything right back.
That way, you always have full visibility, full control, and full ownership.
What does it typically cost to produce a book?
Projects with Publish Pros typically start around $3,500. That covers a professionally produced paperback through Amazon KDP, plus an alternate paperback through IngramSpark for broader, global distribution.
From there, pricing adjusts based on your book. Editing needs, illustrations, and additional formats can increase the investment, while having pieces already completed may bring it down.
We’re often told our pricing is lower than other publishing companies. That’s intentional. We keep overhead lean so more stories can be told—without cutting corners.
Would Publish Pros be the registered publisher of my book?
No. When you self-publish, you are the publisher.
Publish Pros is not a publisher or a press. We don’t own your book, control your rights, or take a percentage of your sales. We serve as your publishing assistance team — the editors, designers, and production professionals who help you bring your book to market professionally.
If you’ve ever heard the phrase “have your people call my people,” that’s us. Your people.
What happens after I submit my information?
After you submit the form, our team reviews what you’ve shared to understand your goals and where you are in the process. If it looks like a good fit, we’ll follow up with the best next step for your project. If not, we’ll still point you in a helpful direction. There’s no obligation at this stage.

Publish Pros has been an answer to prayer. A few years back I felt God leading me to write a book. To say I was clueless about how to begin the process would be an understatement. One day I made a call and got Publish Pros by mistake, only it wasn't a mistake. It was the hand of God redirecting me to the right path. I could tell right away that they truly cared about helping me fulfill the call of writing a book. They have been informative, patient, detailed, encouraging and the list could go on. I want to give them a HUGE thank you!!!

I am especially grateful to Tiffany and Rich for their support throughout the journey. I highly recommend them to any author looking for a knowledgeable and supportive publishing partner.+0

Working with Publish Pros has been such an incredible experience from start to finish. As a brand-new self published author, I came into this process with just a vision and a dream, and their team helped guide me through every single step with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. From the initial consultation, they were responsive, encouraging, and extremely thorough in reviewing my content and helping shape my ideas into something truly special. Their communication was always fast and detailed, and I always felt supported throughout the entire process. Rich, Tiffany and Mary were amazing, working in their own expertise throughout the process made the project seamless. I'm very thankful to each of them. I must say Rich is as determined and motivated to push through obstacles throughout this process as I was, so that was really nice to have someone working on my team with the same mindset and ultimately be successful breaking down those barriers. They helped bring my immersive world to life through beautiful illustrations, marketing materials, promotional items, and even coordinating my Amazon blitz launch. One of the things I appreciated most was how they acted as a liaison between me and my illustrator, making sure every detail matched the vision I had imagined for Mermaid Elise and her world. They didn’t just help me create a book, they helped me build a brand and an experience that I’m incredibly proud of. I’m so excited for everything we’ve created together and I truly look forward to continuing my future early reader book ventures with them. I highly recommend Publish Pros to any aspiring author looking for a team that is creative, supportive, organized, and genuinely invested in helping bring your vision to life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!+0

Self-publishing a book can be a daunting undertaking for a 77-year old first-timer. So many websites to navigate, rules of the road to master! The pros at Publish Pros guided me every step of the way with patience, smarts and tender loving care ---- from turning my manuscript into a book, to coming up with a great cover, to making sure I was marketing it in a way that gives me my best shot at finding an audience. Thanks, guys -- couldn't have done this without you!

I always dreamed about publishing my book. After looking at all my options I chose to self-publish. I chose Publish Pros over other publishers because they were very personable and were straight forward with the cost, timeline and what steps I needed to take. Once I submitted my manuscript, Mary spent several weeks going through it finding all my mistakes and listing several suggestions that were very helpful. Once the manuscript was set, Rich blew my mind with a cover that went far beyond my expectations. Lastly, the book was posted on Amazon and IngramSpark. There were a couple of problems on Amazon's end in terms of delaying the hard cover copy to be put on the site and having other writers' information where mine should be. Rich continuously checked the site and saw what was happening; he then stayed on top of Amazon until they corrected the problem. He saved me from a giant headache if I had done this myself. All I can tell you is that I have had nothing but a great experience at Publish Pros. I will continue to use them in the future. Thanks again to Rich, Mary and the gang at Publish Pros. Sincerely, Art L.

Publish Pros, I know it’s been a journey in 2025 and now in 2026 it is all about marketing our daughter’s book. I really Appreciate the Hard Work and Support. It was Meant to Be to find you. You immediately responded with professionalism and industry knowledge. Rich & Tiffany suggested, added, and corrected our original book files to finalize an exciting publication. Publish Pros is dependable and dedicated to their clients. Making your dreams become a reality to own and control your own books. Barry and Cathy Thomas, Proud Author Parents

Rich and Mary truly helped birth Divine Arise as God led me personally. I’m grateful for Rich’s direct, sincere care and publishing expertise, and for Mary’s nurturing yet firm, highly skilled copy editing. Together, they made a complex and emotional process feel enjoyable, meaningful, and special — we did it!!! — Tia (or should I say, Amazon bestselling author Tia 😉)

Publishing my book The Modern Viking Diet with Publish Pros has been an amazing experience! They are incredibly professional, attentive, and truly go above and beyond. The editing, formatting, and overall production were done beautifully and always delivered on time. I am absolutely in love with my book cover — they created several versions for me and patiently worked with me until it felt perfect. As a first-time author with a LOT of questions, they were so kind, patient, and supportive every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, and I could not be happier with the final result. I highly recommend Publish Pros to any author looking for a trustworthy and talented publishing partner!+0
