Many writers are very creative when it comes to storytelling, yet many have no idea how to format manuscripts for print, epubs, get books up online, or track sales, The name “Left-Hand Publishers” comes from the idea of publishing options writers may have “on the other hand.”

Publishing – Don’t have to learn how to format your book for…Publish your book, easily and no up-front cost

Publish Quality First

Our reputation as publishers and your reputation as a writer far outweigh any income received from an inferior publication. It’s possible that after we have mutually discussed any issues, either of us still may have concerns about the quality or terms of the project. In that case, we shake hands and part friends. Since we did not publish your book, you owe us nothing. We will release and return your manuscript.

Submission Example:

For example, if you submit a manuscript and book cover for consideration to be published, we do a very brief, cursory review.  (We get a LOT of submissions.) After the review, a variety of things could happen.

  • PUBLISH AS-IS: We could love it, and are willing to publish it at no up-front cost to you.
    • We then contact you and discuss a customized contract for publishing – where we make our money from a commission on sales.
    • Consequently, after we agree on terms, we format, publish, and sell your book.
  • RETURN & DISCUSS: We could see that it needs editing and return it to you (at no cost at this point). You are encouraged to take it elsewhere and get it edited. We can also recommend our sister company for editing assistance – Typically, our copyediting costs range between $4 and $6 a page, but prices vary greatly.
  • RETURN & DISCUSS: Maybe it doesn’t need editing, however, the submitted cover design needs improvement. A poor cover design will negatively impact sales. You are welcome to take it to an outside designer. We just need to make sure it fits our technical design specs. Typically, our cover designs start at about $500-$600, but that varies greatly.
  • RETURN: We may discuss with you that your project needs some serious work and just isn’t suitable for Left Hand Publishers’ needs at present.

Protecting Everyone’s Reputation

The bottom line is: we want to publish only the best book so we can maximize profits. Profits that benefit you AND us. Putting out an inferior book hurts everyone.

We want you to focus on what you do best: writing.

Publishing, Independent, Writers, Authors, Manuscripts, marketing, EditingLeft Hand Publishers is NOT a vanity press. We will never ask the writer for an investment or to pay any part of the cost of being published. We provide our publishing services as a percentage of revenue which we participate in, once the work sells. Optional Services are available to writers who need assistance in getting their manuscripts and/or their marketing tools honed for a successful and profitable publishing experience. For various consulting services, outside of publishing, we will provide an estimate in advance at no charge. For more information, contact us at .
