INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING SERVICES FOR BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS

From manuscript to published book…

Editing, proofreading, formatting, styling – your manuscript is in safe hands.

We have extensive experience of working with: fiction and non-fiction books; children's and other picture books; academic, business and professional documents.

NOTE: InRoad is not a vanity publishing service nor a publishing house.Most of our commissions are from authors preparing books for publication or submission to a publisher/agent.Publishing a book consists of a number of steps, and we can take care of ANY or ALL of those – including setting up your publication with vendors and distributors.The end product is your independently published work.

We also work with technical, academic and other forms of non-creative writing.Not sure what you need?No problem! Contact us for a no-obligation consultation.Likewise, we are happy to provide a no-obligation estimate of costs.
