Book Publishing and Design Services

Our À la carte services are the best choice for experienced authors who know how to publish and market their work, or for publishers who need high-quality, professional design for their clients.

Our publishing packages are the preferred choice for first-time authors and for book series authors who need to focus on writing and marketing their books, with the assurance that all publishing aspects are professionally done and taken care of.

With all publishing packages, authors keep control of the process, publishing, and design aspects.

No matter what package your choose, you’ll get professional book design from Luminare Press. If you are willing to learn or already have some experience with publishing, our Essentials package is the most affordable solution that balances quality and accessibility. With our Boutique and Premium packages, you will not only get the book design but a project manager and a team of book professionals who will assist you every step of the way and ultimately assure the publication and distribution of your book on all major online platforms and retailers.

Most of our clients opt for the turn-key solution we are able to provide with our Boutique package, however, if you know you need editing and even more assistance with your book project our Premium solution gives you the absolute best you can get on the market.

You can schedule a free consultation to discuss your project and evaluate if Luminare Press is the best publishing partner for your book.

Absolutely! With our Boutique and Premium package you’ll have a level of flexibility that allows you to review your project and add elements as you need. We’ll be always ready to help you choose and understand the different options, with the pros and cons of each. Our goal is to guide any author toward a successful publication.

On average we are able to publish a finished manuscript within four to six months. The exact timing depends on the complexity of the project and if the author is able to provide all assets (complete manuscript, images, footnotes, index, etc.) in the requested format in a timely manner. We know that publishing is often not a linear process, that’s why a project manager is key to assure all parts keep moving forward. After we evaluate your project and you sign a contract, we’ll be able to give you an estimate on timing based on the complexity of the work and your goals.

With our Essentials package, you are on your own timeline for publishing. We strive to deliver cover and interior files within 30 days of receiving all the materials we need, and encourage you to use this time to work through our online publishing class.

An editing sample is always included when you sign a contract for copy editing or line editing. It gives you a chance to see what the editor is focusing on and address any concerns before the whole work is completed.

Luminare Press can design and assist with publishing almost any fiction, non-fiction, or illustrated picture book. However, as hybrid publisher, we reserve the right to decline work on books whose content we find objectionable, for whatever reason. Our core packages are limited to the formats available through POD, but we can work with you on formats for non-POD printing for an additional fee.

As a hybrid publisher and boutique book designer, we don’t print or sell books. We do set your book up for wide distribution through online retailers and brick-and-mortar bookstores.
