Though a lot of small publishers are going the way of the eBook and print on demand website like Createspace, there is still a market for getting printed copies of your book made at an affordable rate.

POD services are cool and convenient -- I've used them for a few products in the past. But the per-book rates are high, especially when you factor in their book design services.

Some people want an affordable package deal for printed books so that they can sell them hand to hand at a profit instead of online. I also have business customers who use their books for promotional purposes, to gain new clientele.

My service is simple -- you send me your finished, edited manuscript in Microsoft Word, and two or three months later you will have 500 to 1000 finished books or more sitting on your doorstep.

One Stop Books is a simple solution for busy self-publishers on a budget. I have hands on experience in the self-publishing industry dating back to 2002. I'm also a book designer (10 years experience), typesetter (8 years), web designer (10 years), book doctor (5 years) and copywriter (8 years).

Basically, I am a book-making machine!

You will quickly learn that writing your book is the easy part.

Next to promoting it, transforming it into a hard copy book is also a bit complicated. You have to individually hire a book cover designer, a typesetter, and a printer to make it happen. You have to buy ISBN blocks from Bowker, bar codes, and memberships to trade organizations. And it can all become very expensive.

You have to hire about three or four people to do what I'm going to do for you in One Stop!

Finally, finding and dealing with a book printing service can be an epic adventure. Some will quote you ridiculous prices and some will give you very attractive low prices but a poor product (loose binding, cheap paper, bad color). I have arrangements with some of the best and most affordable printers who are very responsive to my needs and requirements. By brokering your print job, I will be saving you a lot of headaches, phone calls and emails about your book.

In addition to printed books, I also help you convert your book to eBook format for distribution through Kindle, Nook and other eReaders. If you need a book website to help promote your title, ask about that when submitting your quote request.

So let me help you start up your small self publishing company with your first book and you take it from there!

Email me your finished manuscript, and weeks later (the exact timeline varies depending on each project) you will have finished books at your door!

I am sincerely looking forward to working with you on your book production project. Feel free to contact me with questions.
