Book editing and publishing services

What do book publishing companies typically offer?

Most book publishing companies offer some mix of editing, interior formatting, cover design, distribution, and marketing. What separates them is who does the writing, who owns the rights, and who keeps the royalties. Defining Moments Press is paid a fee for its service, authors keep all rights and royalties, and authors can order their own books at cost directly from the print provider.

Defining Moments Press, Inc. is a US-based company in Fresno, California, and works with authors all over the world online. If cost is your first question, read how much publishing a book costs, or see the full list on the Defining Moments Press services page.
