Publishing your book alone can be overwhelming, so we are here to make it easy. We seek to remove the hassles that are associated with typical publishers: paying a literary agent, losing the rights to your books, risking the integrity of your manuscript after submission, and having to wait excessive periods of time just to find out whether or not the publisher wants your work.
Coffee Seed Books® Publishing offers a full-range of publishing services with our team of professional graphic designers, editors, and illustrators. We will connect your book to large book distributors and retailers such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books A Million and more, making your book available worldwide in print or eBook formats.
