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

The reason why I chose BookBaby was because of their great customer service and their vision of helping new writers become authors. Their quality of books is second to none. It's fantastic — from book designers and editors, all the way to the ink and paper quality.

1. Get your book polished and ready for publishing

Professional editing

Our skillful book editors will refine your manuscript to absolute perfection. We'll match you with a professional editor who specializes in the nonfiction book genre.

Interior formatting for eBooks

To expand your audience, your self published novel should be available in many formats. Broaden your impact and reach more readers with an eBook that can be enjoyed on any eReader.

Book cover design

Telling a remarkable story starts with an eye-catching book cover. Our seasoned book cover designers will help entice readers before they begin chapter one.

Metadata optimization

Give your nonfiction book its best shot at being discovered by new readers. Metadata introduces your book to the world, and our professionals will make sure your listing gets noticed.

Interior formatting for printed books

A well-formatted book is critical to your success as a self published nonfiction author. Our expert book designers will ensure that you create a professional-quality book that gives readers the best possible experience.

2. Make your book available in every format

Printed books

Print a nonfiction book that you'll be proud to call your own. Whether you're printing a softcover book, a hardcover book, or perhaps both formats, we offer any trim size or finish you may need.

Audiobook recording

As a nonfiction writer, you're a storyteller. Sometimes the most-captivating way to tell a story is in your own voice (or with the help of our voice talent or AI). Audiobooks allow your story to be read anytime, anywhere.

eBook conversion

Count on our digital book producers to guarantee that your nonfiction book is enjoyed on all popular reading devices worldwide. Our hands-on approach allows for precision and quality.

3. Sell your book in stores and market your book worldwide

Where your book actually sells

Your book doesn't need to be "everywhere." It needs to be where readers actually buy. With BookBaby, that means three powerful channels working together:

Amazon for print — Where the majority of printed books are discovered and purchased
Wide ebook distribution — Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Vearsa, and more
BookBaby Bookshop — Your own direct-to-reader store where you keep the most money

Amazon gives you reach for print:

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

Increase your presence as an author by promoting your self published book through digital advertising, social media, and more. We'll help target new readers who are interested in reading nonfiction books. Boost your book's visibility with nonfiction book marketing services and reach more readers.

Direct-to-reader sales

Sell your nonfiction book directly to readers with the help of the world's most author-friendly bookstore: BookBaby Bookshop. Earn the highest possible royalty rates, get paid weekly, and track your book's performance when you sell with BookBaby Bookshop.

ISBN assignment

Track your book sales by obtaining a number, barcode, and metadata registration. Having an ISBN is a crucial step in selling your nonfiction book and keeping tabs on its success.
