About BookPublishersNYC.com
BookPublishersNYC.com is a professional book publishing services provider based in New York City. The company helps authors turn manuscripts into professionally prepared books through individual services: editing, proofreading, formatting, cover design, publishing setup and distribution assistance, book marketing and audiobook production.

Audiobook Production Services

Not every author needs every service. The author decides which services the book needs, and no service is mandatory.
A Publishing Services Provider,
Not a Publisher
BookPublishersNYC.com sells publishing services. It does not select manuscripts for publication, pay advances or offer publishing contracts, and it does not take a percentage of an author’s royalties for providing its services.
The difference matters when authors compare options. Here is how the three main models differ:
Traditional Publisher
A traditional publisher acts as an investor. It selects manuscripts for publication, pays for all production costs, and publishes the book under a contract. In exchange, the publisher takes ownership of the publishing rights and keeps the majority of the royalties.
Hybrid Publisher
A hybrid publisher also acts as a gatekeeper but typically charges the author an upfront fee for a publisher-style package. They often retain a percentage of the royalties and may exert control over the book’s pricing and distribution rights.
Publishing Services Provider
A publishing services provider sells individual editorial, design, and marketing services. The author pays for the exact services their book needs, keeps 100% control of the book, retains all publishing rights, and collects all their own royalties directly.
How BookPublishersNYC.com
Works With Authors
Four principles guide how each project runs.
The author decides
The author chooses which services to buy and approves the work. Not every book needs every service, giving you complete flexibility and control over your publishing journey.
Everything is agreed in writing
Every quote states the deliverables, the billing basis, and the exclusions. A service agreement and a confidentiality agreement are signed, and the advance payment is received, before work begins.
Authors can reach us directly
Authors work with BookPublishersNYC.com by phone and email, and they can call directly during our standard working hours, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM EST.
Support continues after delivery
Authors who buy cover design or formatting can ask for help with sizing or bleed problems in the delivered files, whether they publish independently or through another company.
Authors Keep Ownership of
Their Books
Authors keep ownership of their manuscript, title, characters and original content when they use BookPublishersNYC.com. Providing editing, design, formatting, marketing or production services does not transfer ownership of a book to the company, and the company does not take a percentage of royalties for its services.
Royalties come from the sales platforms under their own terms, fees and payment policies. Third-party fonts, stock images and other licensed materials remain under their own licence terms. The written service agreement states the exact terms.

Request a QuoteWhat BookPublishersNYC.com
Does Not Promise
BookPublishersNYC.com does not guarantee sales, reviews, rankings, bestseller status or advertising returns. It does not guarantee that a platform accepts a book, because each platform decides under its own requirements. Estimated turnaround times assume complete files, payment and approvals.
What We Do Commit To
What the company does commit to is a written scope for every project, confidential handling of every manuscript under a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and the high-quality delivery of the agreed services.
