What Happens After You Write "The End"?

Writing a book takes everything you've got, the late nights, the self doubt, the endless edits. Now your manuscript is done and waiting for someone to believe in it. Collingwood Press offers book publishing services that take your manuscript from “the end” to successfully published, with a dedicated team of industry experts handling book editing, cover design, and distribution. Once your book is live, our book marketing finds the readers your story was meant for.

Remember, your book could be the next New York Times bestseller. But only if it leaves that folder.

The Internet Is Full Of Promises. Not All Of Them Are Real.

The internet is crowded with scams disguised as help. Writers lose money, time, and sometimes years of work to companies that disappear after payment.

At Collingwood Press, things work differently. Our team is trained in work ethics from day one and regularly monitored by expert managers to ensure every client gets real attention during business hours.

Your dedicated project manager isn't just there to handle your book publishing service tasks. Want to tell Jessica about your day? Call her.

Want to share how your pet Daisy did something ridiculous this morning? Call her. She's not just managing your project, she's your friend throughout the journey.

We're one of the top book publishing companies because we don't just publish books, we build human connections. That's what makes us different from the best book publishing companies you'll find anywhere else.

Your Book Is Ready. But Does It Look Ready?

FAQ's

Find answers to common questions about our publishing process

Great question! The cost of manuscript editing varies based on word count, depth of edit (like copy editing/ line editing vs. developmental editing), and the editor's experience. We offer transparent, project-based quotes so you know the investment upfront. A typical full edit can take 2-4 weeks, ensuring your story gets the detailed attention it deserves. You can learn more about our book editors for hire on our services page.

Think of it like building a house. A writing a book template is a helpful blueprint; it gives you structure and steps to writing a book. Hiring a book ghost writer is like hiring a master architect. They don't just follow a plan; they collaborate with you to construct the entire manuscript from your ideas, which is ideal for memoir writing or when you have the vision but not the time to write. We offer both ebook ghostwriting services and templates to suit your needs.

Absolutely. Book illustration is more than just pretty pictures; it's visual storytelling that brings your narrative to life for young readers. A professional illustrator understands page turns, character consistency, and how art interacts with text. We work with a curated network of talented artists, including specialists like comic book writers and children's genres, to create captivating visuals.

A solid book marketing plan is your launch roadmap. Effective book marketing services for indie authors should include a pre-launch buzz strategy, targeted social media campaigns, securing reviews, and building a dedicated author website as your home base. Many authors find partnering with a specialized book marketing agency provides the expertise and focus needed to stand out.

You have two main paths. The first is to submit your work to traditional children's book publishers. The second is a guided self-publishing partnership, like the one we offer, which provides full support while you keep creative control. Your essential first step for either option is a polished manuscript and illustrations.

Your cover is your #1 marketing tool; it needs to stop a scroll. A great cover involves captivating imagery (make a front cover that pops), strategic typography designs for the title, and professional layout. We create custom book covers that are genre-specific and market-tested, and we can produce both hard cover and paperback formats.

Publish an ebook by first ensuring your manuscript is professionally formatted for digital reading (we handle this!). The process is simpler than print as there's no physical inventory. We distribute your ebook globally to major platforms like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo, making it accessible to readers worldwide instantly.

It's simple! Start by using our "Free Manuscript Review" form on this page. This lets our editorial team assess your project's fit. We review all genres and provide clear, straightforward feedback on the next steps, whether that's a publishing offer or developmental guidance.

We offer an end-to-end solution. This includes professional Book Editing and Book Cover Design, securing an ISBN, global print and digital distribution, book marketing services to build your launch, and ongoing sales support. We explain the process, answering questions like "which companies offer self publishing book printing services" by managing those vendor relationships for you.
