How It Works

We are a boutique hybrid publisher. That means we are a small company that offers full publishing packages and à la carte services, such as book formatting and press kits, for purchase.

We partner with authors one-on-one to help transform their books from documents on computers to published books available for sale around the world.

At The Nook Press, you write the book; we do the rest.

Please note that The Nook Press will never use generative AI in any of our services. We are a company of humans whose work is done with human hands and human minds.
