Layout check

We check your text for readability and printability (Are the margins sufficient for printing? Is the font size easy to read in print? Is the line spacing right? Is the resolution of the illustrations sufficient for good print quality?), embed the fonts if necessary and take care of automatic page numbers and a table of contents.

Publication as e-book and ISBN

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book.

Worldwide distribution

With each publication, you will receive an ISBN number for your e-book and print book. We deliver your book to our worldwide distribution network: over 300 online shops.

Appealing blurb

We will write you a blurb that arouses curiosity and emotions – and convinces readers. Perfectly tailored to your genre and target audience.

Personal contact

Benefit from our many years of publishing experience: We support you with our know-how from upload to finished book. With us, you will get a personal contact person, we will guide you step by step through the entire process and are there for you.

Cover Service

Do you already have your own photo or motif or at least a very concrete idea of how you imagine your book cover? Perfect! We will take care of the creation and send you two to four drafts, from which you can choose one.

You don’t have a cover idea yet or would like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem. For an extra charge of €50, our graphic designer will search for motifs and design your individual book cover including an author’s photo on the book cover – creatively, professionally and matching your story.
