Publish your book on your own terms
Many authors discover too late that publishing with certain presses means earning less, deciding less, and staying stuck in that situation for years.
With us, you decide how, where and when your book is published. No minimums, no strings attached, and your income stays yours.
Before making a decision, it’s worth understanding the differences clearly.
The difference that matters
With many other publishing-print houses
- They require you to buy copies. Often a minimum of 100.
- You earn royalties of 15% or less. Your income passes through middlemen.
- You don’t control the publishing account, or the price.
- Making changes to the book is difficult or slow.
- Publication is usually limited.
At Wordcraft Press
- You have no obligation to buy any copies, though you can if you want to.
- You get paid directly by Amazon KDP: around 66% on digital and 35% on print.
- You keep your own login and full control of your account, your work and its sale price.
- You can change the content whenever you want.
- We publish your book in ebook and print from the start.
We also offer the other services every author needs to make sure their book is genuinely ready to publish with confidence.
Publish on Amazon
We publish your book on Amazon KDP so you have real control over your work and your income from day one. Our job is to guide you through the process and set everything up correctly, so you can focus on what matters: your book.
We also include the ebook edition at no extra cost if you publish in print, so your book is available in both formats from the start. You can order author copies whenever you need to, with no purchase obligation or minimums.
What about traditional bookshops?
Many publishers present bookshop distribution as a big advantage, but it’s worth understanding what it actually means. In most cases, it’s print-on-demand distribution: your book isn’t physically stocked in bookshops, but can be ordered if a reader requests it.
We offer this option too, but we prefer to explain it clearly from the start. Besides Amazon, we work with international platforms that extend your book’s availability to channels like Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Tolino or Scribd.
Still, our experience shows Amazon usually accounts for most sales. That’s why we prioritize it as the main channel, without stopping you from expanding distribution if it fits your project.
The idea is simple: get your book as far as possible, while always making informed decisions as an author and without cutting into your earnings.
Publish your audiobook
Turn your book into a new source of income. We produce your audiobook with professional narrators and genuine technical quality, meeting all of Amazon and Audible’s requirements to avoid blocks or rejections. We handle the whole process: recording, editing and mastering.
We publish your audiobook on Audible and, if you want, on more than 15 additional platforms to maximize its reach. Your work, now in audio too, ready to reach more readers.
Legal registration of your work
Your book is yours. And it should be protected from the very start. We offer copyright registration so you have legal proof of authorship and legal security over your content. A simple step that gives you peace of mind.
ISBN
Publishing your book doesn’t need to be complicated. We work with Amazon’s self-publishing ISBN because it is:
- Fully legal
- Valid for all purposes, worldwide
- Free
- Enough to publish in print and ebook
In most cases, it’s the best option. If you’d still rather have a traditional ISBN, we can arrange that for you too.
Note: an ISBN does not prove copyright ownership of your work. That’s what legal registration is for.
Clear pricing. No surprises.
Every project is different, but one thing never changes: total transparency from day one.
