Own Publishing treats each book not as a one-off print job, but as a living intellectual-property system—built to scale, be measured and move into new formats.

ExploreOWN&PUBLISH / PUBLISHING PRINCIPLE
“Good publishing does not change a book’s voice; it makes that voice heard in the world.”
FROM IDEA TO MARKET
Every stage stays visible; files, rights, versions and deliveries live in one project flow.
AUTHOR-OWNED
Wherever practical, publishing accounts, final files, reports and creative decisions stay with the author. We build the production system, manage quality and guide the release.

CLEAR ANSWERS
Short, honest answers to the most common questions—without sales guarantees.
View all questionsIn the Author-Owned model, rights, final files and usage permissions are defined clearly in the agreement and remain with the author to the broadest practical extent. Platform terms and third-party licences still apply.
Where suitable, the account is opened in the author’s or rights holder’s name; we support setup and uploads transparently. Tax and payment details belong to the account holder.
No. The 70% option depends on territory, price band, rights and other conditions; delivery cost and tax may be deducted. Non-eligible sales may use 35%.
For standard distribution, 50% or 60% is applied to the tax-exclusive list price and printing cost is deducted. Expanded Distribution may use a different rate.
Traditional publishing usually places investment and commercial risk with the publisher; in exchange for selective acquisition and contracted royalties, control may be more limited. Our primary model is author-funded professional production with more control over account, files, price and platform income.
No. We provide professional production, a transparent process and publishing infrastructure; we do not guarantee sales, ranking, reviews or press coverage.
