What we do...

Indie Artist Press is one of a growing number of hybrid publishers in the new world order of book publishing. We treat our books exactly the same way that traditional publishers do in that we edit, copy edit, proof and format each title we contract to create the most marketable product possible. We vet each submission for content and quality to preserve our brand not only for our benefit, but for the benefit of every author who is contracted with us. Before you submit your work to us for consideration, and to make the process run more smoothly, there are a few things you should understand.
We meet all 9 of the criteria recently set for a reputable hybrid publisher by the IBPA!

We aced the Social Media Course at Ingram Spark!

The Contract Offer and Project Plans

We have three packages available that depend upon the state in which we find your book. If we offer a contract, we choose which package we will offer. Because we are not a vanity publisher, the selection of the package is determined by how much work your submission will need.

Author Investments

If you are serious about publishing your work, you are probably already investing in your work financially. At IAP, we offer three methods for you to continue that investment, one of which is completely contingent upon sales of your book after it is released. If you choose this option, we acquire exclusive rights to publish your work for the investment period at a 50% royalty. We retain the right to market your book and make it available on various sales channels after the investment is complete, but the royalty percentage you earn jumps to 100%.

Pre-Production 

Publishing a quality book takes time. If you accept a publishing contract with IAP, we will set the publication schedule to allow for pre-production and pre-release publicity. 

We have final approval of covers, whether you are bringing a cover with you or we are designing them in our art department. Our imprint will be displayed on the cover and therefore we have a vested interest in the quality of that cover.
