WHAT SETS US APART
ONE
Standard of Writing.
Our team reviews each manuscript submission. To be accepted and enter the publishing process, it must demonstrate strong writing, effective storytelling, alignment with our values, clarity of message, and marketability. To put it plainly, we don't publish every manuscript for money.
TWO
Author Maintains Rights.
With ZPH, the author is part of every step of the process. Our authors retain the full rights to their book and are fully involved in the decision-making process throughout all 12 stages. They have direct contact with our team throughout the journey!
THREE
Comprehensive Services.
Line + Structural Editing. Cover Design. Book Formatting. Website Development. eBook + Audiobook Creation. Copyright & ISBN Registration. Film Trailer Production. Proven Launch Strategy. We have expertise in every aspect of your book’s journey, ensuring a unique, professional outcome at every step.
FOUR
Timeline to Publication.
Sometimes, our authors need to hit a specific launch date. Other times, authors don't have a preference. Regardless, we aim to hit those target dates.
FIVE
Cost.
Every author has unique goals, which is why we have pre-built packages designed to meet your specific needs. Our costs are competitive. Numerous options are available to each author, ensuring they only pay for what they need!
SIX
Royalties.
ZPH receives $1.00/book in royalties. The author gets the rest!
SEVEN
Author Education.
We clearly lay out your publishing roadmap, explain the investment + royalty math upfront, clarify realistic marketing expectations, reveal an honest distribution outlook, and teach the many different print options. This is crucial because the author remains the decision maker with every step.
EIGHT
Long-Term Relationship.
Once your project is complete, we love to stay in your corner, helping you succeed at every step. According to the package selected by the author, we can stay in your corner anywhere from launch day to 12 months and beyond.
NINE
Premium Offset Printing + POD Options
Thanks to the relationships we've built with some of the top printers in North America, our authors have premium access to all interior + cover print options at the best prices. We also have print-on-demand access for authors wanting shorter runs.
