How to get your novel published

Many dream of writing their own novel, releasing the stories trapped within their minds. But you, you actually ran the gauntlet and made it from the first sentence, to the first draft, through endless revisions, all the way to the final manuscript.

Was it painful? Yes. Was it demanding? You bet. Was it worth it? Absolutely! And now that you've done the hard part, we'll show you how to bring it on home and get your novel published.

When you print and publish your novel with BookBaby's book printing service, you'll have every tool you'll need to bring your story to life. From editing to marketing, we make self-publishing simple.

I was so glad that BookBaby was willing to work with me and really listen to my ideas.

Lauren Lynne, Young Adult Author

What is perfect binding?

Perfect Binding is the adhesive-based book binding style of choice for most softcover books. After the back folds have been cut off, the pages are bound by gluing, instead of stitching or stapling, like in a magazine. BookBaby requires a minimum of 40 pages for perfect bound book printing or hardcover book printing.
