The Simple Path to Self-Publishing: Just Send Us Your Files

Book Publishing

Updated: 2/Feburary/2026

You’ve reached the final, frustrating paradox of self-publishing. You chose this path for its simplicity and control—yet the process itself has become anything but simple. Between account setups, formatting rules, and platform-specific requirements, the “self” in self-publishing has come to mean “doing everything alone.”

But what if the simple path still existed?

What if self-publishing could actually be simple? Imagine this: you finish your manuscript, you send your files to someone you trust, and your book appears for sale everywhere. No learning curves, no technical hurdles, no multi-week delays.

This isn’t a fantasy. It’s our service. We restore the simplicity to self-publishing by handling everything that comes after “The End.”

Why Self-Publishing Became So Complicated

Somewhere along the way, “self-publishing” became synonymous with “becoming a full-time publishing technician.” The simplicity was lost to:

  • Platform Proliferation: What was once “just Amazon” is now a dozen different retailers, each with unique rules.
  • Technical Debt: File specifications have multiplied—what works for print fails for digital, and requirements differ by platform.
  • Administrative Overload: Tax forms, banking details, metadata, pricing strategies—the business side has overshadowed the creative.
  • Quality Expectations: Readers now expect professional-level formatting and presentation, raising the technical bar.
  • Time Investment: The average author spends 40+ hours just learning and executing the publishing process.

The result? Authors with finished books stuck in “publishing paralysis,” overwhelmed by the very process meant to empower them.

The Simple Path Restored: How Our Process Works

True simplicity means fewer steps, not more explanations. Here’s our entire process:

Step 1: You Send Your Files

  • Your finalized manuscript (DOC or PDF)
  • Your completed cover (front, spine, back for print)
  • That’s it. No forms, no accounts, no technical questions.

Step 2: We Handle Everything Else

  • Account creation across all platforms
  • Formatting for paperback and ebook
  • Metadata optimization and pricing
  • Upload and quality assurance
  • Publication and distribution

Step 3: You Become a Published Author

  • We deliver all your account credentials
  • Your book goes live everywhere
  • You focus on being an author, not a publisher

What Simplicity Actually Looks Like: A 7-Day Timeline

Day 1: You contact us and send your files. We confirm receipt and begin.
Day 2-3: We create your accounts and format your files for all platforms.
Day 4-5: We upload everything and perform quality checks across all retailers.
Day 6: You review digital proofs and give final approval.
Day 7: Your book publishes simultaneously everywhere. We send you all access information.

No complications. No surprises. Just a straight line from your files to “Published Author.”

Where Your Book Will Appear (Without You Lifting a Finger)

Your book automatically becomes available on:

  • Amazon (Kindle & Paperback)
  • Apple Books (iOS ecosystem)
  • Barnes & Noble (Nook & Print)
  • Kobo (International & library)
  • Lulu (Extended print distribution)
  • Everand, Thalia/Tolino, Bolde, Fable, Vivlio, Smashwords, Palace Marketplace (Specialized networks)

Wide distribution handled simply.

The Benefits of Choosing the Simple Path

  • Time Reclaimed: Get back the 40+ hours you’d spend navigating publishing complexity.
  • Stress Eliminated: No more worrying about technical requirements or platform rejections.
  • Professional Results: Your book meets all industry standards without you learning them.
  • Complete Control: You maintain 100% ownership, rights, and royalties.
  • Focus Preserved: Keep your energy for writing and marketing, not technical details.

Who This Simple Path Is For

This service is perfect for authors who:

  • Have a completed, proofread manuscript
  • Have a finished cover design
  • Want both paperback and ebook available
  • Value simplicity over DIY complexity
  • Want professional results without becoming an expert
  • Believe their time is better spent creating than administering

No, Amazon handles printing, inventory, and shipping directly to the customer.

No, there’s no limit. Your book is printed on demand, which means it can be sold and printed as many times as customers order it.

Once the setup is complete and the book is submitted for publishing, it goes live within 48 hours.
Q: Can I sell my book worldwide? +

Q: Can I set my own book price? +
Yes, you can choose your own pricing for both ebook and print book.

Q: How do customers find my book? +
Your book will be listed on Amazon and can be found through search or by sharing your direct link.
Q: Where will I receive my book sales payments? +

You earn 60% of the book price, minus the printing cost. The remaining 40% goes to Amazon.
Q: How often will I get paid? +
Amazon pays royalties every month, approximately 60 days after the end of the month in which the sale occurred.
Q: What if no one buys my book? +
You won’t be charged anything. You only earn when someone purchases your book.
Q: What if I want to make changes to my book later? +
After your book is live, you can update anything — the cover, manuscript, or price — as many times as you want. The new changes become live within 24 hours.
Q: After the setup is complete and the book is live on Amazon, do I need to manage anything monthly or later on? +
No, once your book is live, nothing further is required. Everything works automatically. Your book will continue to be printed on demand whenever someone orders it, and payments will be sent directly to your bank account.
Q: Can I order "author copies" of my book? +
Yes, since it’s your book, you can order author copies at the printing cost only — not the full retail price. For example, if your book is priced at $10 and the printing cost is $3, you’ll pay just $3 per copy (plus shipping and taxes, if applicable), while customers will pay the full $10.
