The many decisions
required to publish a book

can leave even the most knowledgeable
author feeling overwhelmed:

How do you get
reputable feedback
on your manuscript?

Where can you get a
professional copyedit that
enhances your writing?

How do you create a
front cover that beckons a
reader to open your book?

How do you ensure the
interior design makes
reading your book easy?

“This is my first effort to publish, and you
made it both easy and a learning experience.”

Heidi Efros-Affrime, Author of Our Heritage Haggadah

You need seasoned guides

who will partner with you in the
book publishing process.

Traditional publishing requires you to write a book and relinquish control to a publishing team for the final
           decisions.

Self-publishing requires you to figure out every step of the process, even when you’re uncertain which decisions you
           need to make and whether or not they’re the right ones.

A hybrid publisher brings together the best of both worlds, so you get the expertise you need, when you need it, and
maintain control where you want it. We look out for your
best interests on every decision and keep you moving
bravely in the direction of a finished project.
