Byblio Press is a non-profit self-publishing company designed by authors for authors. Our entire publishing process, production partnerships, and business systems were designed with the client experience in mind to help authors learn about their options, choose what path is best for them and their work, and be supported by the entire Byblio Press team every step of the way. Our tax-exempt status provides evidence that we are devoted to meeting the interests of our clients in a transparent and cost-effective way.
Our Authors Have The Final Word
As a self-publishing company, Byblio Press gives authors the freedom and control to produce the book they want to release to the public. All of our authors:
- Retain full ownership and rights to all versions of their book as we guide them through the publishing process
- Review all of our work before we move to the next step in the process
- Have the final say about the book’s content and design
- Receive 100% of the royalties generated from their published works
- Can freely publish their book with another publisher, sell the rights to the book to a movie company, or do anything else they want with the material.
Publishing Perks
At Byblio Press, we use IngramSpark to produce print-on-demand (POD) copies, which boasts the following benefits for our authors':
- Books can be printed and shipped almost anywhere in the world within a few days
- Book production avoids large initial printing costs — authors don’t need to pay any printing costs or store books in a warehouse
- Shipping costs are reduced as is the time it takes for customers to receive a book.
