Publishing Services

IndieReader, the essential guide to self-published books and the people who write them, is now offering a full range of publishing services.

Utilizing a team of professionals–from editors and cover designers to printers and publicists–IndieReader’s publishing services assist authors who want to retain control of their work and independently publish in the smartest, most creative and cost-effective way possible.

IndieReader’s publishing service will essentially walk you through every detail that a vanity press handles.  The differences?  CONTROL, COST, CUSTOMER SERVICE and PRESTIGE.

With IRPS, authors will be able to make—and discuss—the decisions that will affect the final look and cost of their books.

Our standard publishing services will take your work from manuscript to printer.
