For writers who want to publish a book and keep 100% of the royalties.

Do you love writing books?

Have you written a book but need help bringing it to market?

Have you tried to get published traditionally but found it difficult to get a contract?

Would you like to work with a reputable and known publisher who will take care of the production work and while you enjoy the benefits of owning your own imprint?

Dudley Court Press’s Assisted Self Publishing Program is for you if:

  • You’re not sure if you can learn everything you need to know to get your book done right
  • You want our help but know that our VIP Publishing Program isn’t right for you
  • You don’t have access to professional proofreaders and book designers
  • You don’t have access to professional proofreaders and book designers
  • You don’t want to wait for an elusive traditional publishing contract

When you invest in our Assisted Self Publishing Program, we will ensure that:

  • Your manuscript is professionally proofread

  • Your cover is designed by a professional book designer

  • Your interior is designed and typeset by a professional book designer

  • You’ll provide guidance for the look and feel of the cover (with your preferred title) and interior layout; while we work to ensure that design options are premium quality and meet industry print standards

  • Your ISBN and Barcode will be purchased on your behalf

  • Your book is set up on Amazon with appropriate keywords, description and categories

  • You get the guidance you need to know how to your Amazon page in the future to improve your marketability

After we create your book and set you up on Amazon with your book’s product page and your Author page, we turn it over to you.

You are free to market your book however you’d like and retain 100% of the royalties.

You can even buy low cost copies and sell them directly to buyers at book fairs and other in person venues.

Our Assisted Self-Publishing Program allows you to keep all your publishing rights.

When you’re ready, we provide additional services as well.

  • We can convert your book to an ebook (Kindle edition and/or ePub)

  • We offer guidance to help you list your book on other online bookstores

  • You can book a Marketing Strategy Session with our Marketing Coordinator
