Creating, writing, refining, recruiting publishers or agents, self-publishing, listing and marketing your work on the internet and out in the real world.

How do we know about book publishing?

30 years in the print/publishing business has given us a clear overview. This would take years of research on your own, and we are glad to share.

Why are we offering this free?
•  To help you get started, clearly understand your options, and directions you can go for successful publication. We take NO COMMISSION on your book profits - so you have the opportunity to make the most profit possible.

•  To prevent authors from getting "ripped off" by some of the unscrupulous subsidy publishers, paying much more than necessary to self-publish, thus providing the greatest profit to those companies, while getting the least for themselves.

(A comparison chart of subsidy publishers is in process - it will be up on our web site very soon!)

•  If you purchase our eBook Guides or printed Booklet Guides, or choose to have us work with you on your project, then we'll make some money. But you don't have to buy anything to access the FREE information here.


(NOTE: Some of our eBooks have been pulled out for updating. They'll be back on the web site soon. Bookmark us and check back.)


•  We are already doing fine, consulting with authors to work through the steps publishing their work. See some of the books we've worked on. We charge for each job - by the hour, or by the job. So the book profit is yours!

•  All we ask is if you can add some information for us to include which would make a writer's job easier, please share it with us. We will continually update our booklets making this site the BEST it can be.         THANKS for visiting us here!

Touchstone Consulting
Support and Guidance through the paths of publishing. Understand all the ways you could find an agent or publisher, or publish and reproduce your work yourself, for profit, to break even, or share for free. We also show how and where to list, market and sell - that part of the project often the least understood, but the most needed. The first 30 minutes is FREE, so you can decide if you'd like to continue. Email us with your questions.

Touchstone Graphics
Excellent cover design, attractive type layout, is so important, and it should be done well. It will reflect the quality of your writing. Web page design and setup also available. See examples of our work. And once you've chosen your printer, we can prepare your book to exactly their specifications, eliminating those costly problems and errors novice preparers often encounter. We prepare digital books as well.

Touchstone Press
With our 30 years of print/publishing experience, we locate for you several options to reproduce your books. Short run, long run, large and small, full color or black and white, soft or hard cover. We will get you FREE quotes from several production sources, and can show you their examples. YOU PICK your printing source, so you get the best option for you at the most reasonable price.
