General Questions About The Publishers Crew
What is The Publishers Crew?
The Publishers Crew is a professional self-publishing service provider that helps authors bring their books to life. We offer complete support — including editing, illustration, design, printing, distribution, marketing, and audiobook production — while you retain full ownership and rights to your work.
How is The Publishers Crew different from a traditional publisher?
Traditional publishers buy the rights to your book and control the publishing process. At The Publishers Crew, you stay in charge. We provide all the professional services and tools you need to publish successfully while you keep 100% of your rights and royalties.
Who can work with The Publishers Crew?
We work with authors worldwide — from first-time writers to experienced professionals — across all genres, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry, children’s books, and educational works.
Do I need a finished manuscript to get started?
Not necessarily! Whether you have a completed draft, an outline, or even just an idea, our editorial and publishing team can guide you through the process and help you prepare for publication.
Does The Publishers Crew own my book?
No. You keep complete ownership and copyright of your work. Our role is to help you publish, distribute, and promote it professionally.
Book Publishing & Author Rights
What are the main steps in the publishing process?
Publishing typically involves editing, design and formatting, ISBN registration, printing, distribution setup, and marketing. The Publishers Crew manages each stage for you, ensuring your book meets global publishing standards.
Will I receive royalties from book sales?
Yes! Since you retain ownership, all royalties go directly to you. We simply help facilitate your distribution setup through platforms like Amazon, IngramSpark, and other online retailers.
Do you help with ISBN and copyright registration?
Absolutely. We assist with ISBN assignment, barcode creation, and copyright registration to ensure your book is properly catalogued and legally protected.
Can I publish my book in both print and digital formats?
Yes, we produce and distribute in all major formats — paperback, hardcover, eBook, and audiobook — so you can reach readers everywhere.
Can I republish a book that was already published elsewhere?
Yes, as long as you own the rights. We can help you rebrand, redesign, or relaunch it under your name or your publishing imprint.
Editing, Illustration & Design
Do I need professional editing before publishing?
Professional editing is essential for readability, flow, and quality. Our editors perform structural, copy, and proofreading services to ensure your book meets industry standards.
Can you design my book cover and interior layout?
Yes. Our in-house designers create professional covers and interior layouts that reflect your genre, tone, and personal brand.
Do you provide custom illustrations?
We do! The Publishers Crew offers professional illustration services for children’s books, fiction, and nonfiction projects — tailored to your vision and audience.
Can I request revisions to designs or illustrations?
Of course. We work collaboratively with authors, allowing rounds of feedback to ensure the final design perfectly matches your expectations.
Printing & Distribution
What printing options do you offer?
We provide print-on-demand (POD) and offset printing options in various sizes and finishes. You can choose paperback, hardcover, or both — depending on your goals and audience.
How does print-on-demand work?
With POD, your book is printed only when an order is placed. This eliminates the need for large upfront inventory and helps you sell globally through online retailers.
Do you handle book distribution?
Yes. We set up your book for global distribution on platforms like Amazon, IngramSpark, Google Play Books, Barnes & Noble, and others.
Can I order printed copies for personal sale or events?
Absolutely! You can order as many author copies as you like at a discounted author rate, perfect for book signings and direct sales.
Marketing, Promotion & Audiobooks
Do you help authors market their books?
Yes, we offer book marketing services including author branding, press releases, social media promotion, book reviews, and targeted advertising campaigns.
Can you turn my book into an audiobook?
Definitely. We handle narration, production, and distribution of audiobooks across platforms like Audible, Spotify, and Apple Books.
Do you promote audiobooks too?
Yes. We help authors develop launch strategies and marketing campaigns specifically for audio audiences, including social media snippets and listener outreach.
Do you help with author websites and branding?
Yes! We design and build professional author websites that highlight your books, collect reader leads, and boost your online presence.
