Alternative to Christian Vanity Publishing

iStock_000019010276SmallWe help Christian authors get their books self published. Do you want to see your novel or non-fiction book in print, but not sure how? Do you want to do it yourself through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, Family Christian Stores, and other retailers but don’t know where to get started? Need someone to format your book for publishing or a professionally designed book cover?  Do you want to do all this without spending thousands of dollars at a vanity press like Xulon, Westbow, Crossbooks, Author Solutions, Creation House, Believers Press, Xlibris, Redemption Press, and all the others who want to suck your wallet empty?

At Public Author, we offer many publishing services and we offer them as affordable package deals and as a-la-carte items, so you don’t have to pay for more than what you really need. See us and you will save thousands of dollars. Let us repeat that, Public Author will SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS when compared to vanity publishing. Everything we do is for one-time fees.

What is self publishing? When an author self publishes, he or she is the one who is publishing a book, instead of going through a publisher. The author is printing the book and providing an e-book version to all the major retailers. The author is also keeping the lion’s share of all sales (often 60-70%), instead of a publisher taking it. At Public Author, we help Christian writers to self publish. With our expertise, self-publishing becomes much easier. We do the tasks that you can’t do yourself. Your book is still published by you, we just help you through the process.

Hire us for what you need: Not everyone needs help with everything, which is why we offer our publishing services both in Package Deals and à la carte. You only pay for what you need; there is no reason to hire us for any unnecessary extras.

Great alternative to a Vanity Press: A Vanity Press is a company that charges its clients thousands or ten of thousands of dollars to do many of the things we do. Adding insult to injury, they often take a percentage of your sales profits too. We are the smarter choice. At Public Author, we charge only one-time fees and our pricing is reasonable.

Where will my books be available? Christian Authors who use Public Author’s services have self published books through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Createspace, Kobo, Apple, Scribd, and Draft 2 Digital. Some have sold their books through independent bookstores and Christian bookstores; others have had their books placed in public libraries. Our authors have their books available for sale in both Print and E-book editions. So can you. Contact us and learn how we can help you get your book published.

How much will it cost? We charge only one-time fees for our professional services. We never charge a percentage of your royalties. We never charge outrageous fees for “marketing packages” that vanity presses charge. Instead, we charge fair rates for the professional author services that you need, and only for those services you need. Learn more at ourPricing page.
