An open letter to the author who was told no.

To the author who has heard "no"

Waiting on replies and collecting rejections is exhausting, and it is not a reflection of your book.

At Kingswell Publishing, we help turn your manuscript into a professionally published book from editing and design to distribution.

You write the story.
We help you bring it to readers.

Parker ReidSenior Success Manager, Kingswell Publishing

Everything your book needs, handled by one team.

A finished manuscript is not a finished book. Between the last page you wrote and the first copy in a reader's hands, there is editing, design, formatting, distribution and marketing to get right.

We take on all of it. Choose the services you need, or let us manage the whole process under one flat fee.

What authors say once the book is out and the rights are still theirs.

01 / 05
I used to chase five different people for answers. Here I had one contact who knew my book inside out, and every question got a real answer.
Colin Reardon Full package
I expected delays and surprise fees. Instead every step landed on the date they promised, and my book was live before I finished worrying.
Marcus Delgado Publishing
My editor cut what was slowing the story and kept my voice. Then the team handled formatting and distribution, and I approved proofs.
Rebecca Lindqvist Editorial
I cannot draw a thing, but the illustrator turned my rough notes into pages my daughter asks for every night. The characters look exactly how I pictured.
Jolene Maddox Illustration
Publishing went smoothly, and the launch plan did the rest. Reviews, a newsletter push and podcast spots took my first month past my goal.
