01 / Publishing

Give your manuscript a thoughtful digital beginning.

Free e-publishing, with no upfront fee for that service. We work toward a digital release with a clear scope, an understood audience, and agreed terms before publication.

Start with the work itself.

A strong release begins with an honest look at manuscript readiness. Tell us whether you are developing an idea, writing a draft, revising, or preparing a completed manuscript. That context helps shape a useful conversation about what comes next.

Our e-publishing offer does not automatically include comprehensive developmental editing, every production service, or work in every format. We discuss the manuscript’s needs and confirm the scope before a project moves forward.

The details that make a book ready to meet readers.

Ebook preparation

Discuss the digital format, the materials available, and the preparation needed for the agreed release.

Book information

Bring your title, author or pen name, description, genre, and any existing publication information. Clear information helps readers understand the book.

Release planning

Coordinate readiness, presentation, and the marketing approach. Timing and available channels are discussed for the individual title.

A publishing relationship you can understand.

AuthorUpside’s compensation comes from an agreed revenue share on copies sold. Your written agreement sets out the work to be done and the commercial and rights terms. Submitting an inquiry does not publish the book, grant a publishing license, or transfer ownership.

Already published? Start with the context.

An existing title can be the beginning of a new conversation. Share its current links, available formats, and any publisher, platform, or distribution commitments. We review those details before discussing what support may be possible.

Your next step starts with a conversation.
