Talk to a Publishing Specialist

Diving into self publishing can be scary.
That's why authors need a trusted publishing partner.

As a four-time science fiction author, BookBaby is my go-to for publishing. I have been very pleased with the way they can enhance the wording into something I never would have thought of. The ads they create are great and have enhanced the sales of my books. Foremost, however, are their cover design artists. I just provide a description of how I want it to look, and they create the attention-getting cover I hope for. They nailed the covers on the first go-around. Additionally, I have to mention the excellent quality of their printed books.

There's a better way to publish your art book

As a visionary writer with a vivid imagination, you're looking to connect with readers who share your zest for adventure. Whether it's a story of mythical dragons, a peek into a dystopian society, or an exploration of paranormal activity, a science fiction novel takes its audience on a thrilling quest. But self publishing a sci-fi book shouldn't have to involve traveling through intricate portals to reach the end result of publishing a book. When you publish with BookBaby, becoming a self published author isn't a fantasy at all — it's a reality.

To bring your sci-fi book to life, every tool you need is here at BookBaby. Our specialized book cover designers will create a custom book cover for your sci-fi novel, ensuring that it stands out on the shelf and entices readers to explore your otherworldly story. Remember, no fantasy novel is complete without interior book formatting for an easily readable layout. Our expert formatting specialists ensure your sci-fi or fantasy novel has a professional layout that enhances readability, keeping readers engaged from start to finish.

If you need help editing your manuscript, our book editors are here to edit your sci-fi or fantasy book with everything from a quick proofread to a line-by-line edit, making sure your curious characters and imaginative settings are presented clearly. Plus, BookBaby's Print On Demand distribution service makes it easy to sell on Amazon, so your fantasy novel won't just explore imaginary places — it'll make a real impact worldwide.

BookBaby's Publishing Specialists will support your science fiction book for its lifetime, and whenever you need help, you can give us a call. It's never been easier to get your sci-fi novel published, and thanks to our comprehensive self publishing services and reliable support from experts who care, it'll all feel like a pleasant fairy tale.

eBook retailers give you global digital access
BookBaby Bookshop gives you ownership, customer data, and higher margins
You're not chasing every store — you're focused on the ones that actually move indie books

Marketing & advertising

Take your book to infinity and beyond by hiring professionals to create digital and social media ads. We'll target new readers who are interested in exploring the fantasy genre.
