BookBaby
Self publishing has never been easier

BookBaby is a full-service self-publishing platform that helps independent authors edit, design, print, distribute, and market their books. Authors can access services ranging from manuscript editing and cover design to global eBook distribution and print-on-demand fulfillment. The platform also operates BookBaby Bookshop, a dedicated storefront where authors sell directly to readers and earn higher royalties.
Authors choose a publishing package, work with BookBaby's team of specialists for editing, cover design, and formatting, then BookBaby handles printing and distribution to global retailers including Amazon and Apple Books.
