Question 1

How much does it cost to publish a book?

Accepted Answer

Publishing costs vary by project, because no two manuscripts need the same work. Price depends on your word count, which services you select, whether you need print, digital, or both, the complexity of design or illustration involved, and how much editing your manuscript requires. Liberty Book Publishings prepares a written estimate after reviewing your manuscript, so you see the full scope and cost before committing to anything.

Question 2

What services does Liberty Book Publishings provide?

Accepted Answer

Liberty Book Publishings provides book publishing, editing, design, and marketing services for authors. That includes proofreading and copy editing, cover design, interior formatting and typesetting, illustration, publishing setup for print and digital editions, printing, distribution, and launch and promotional support. Authors can use the full process or select individual services, depending on what their manuscript already has and what stage they have reached.

Question 3

How do I get my book published?

Accepted Answer

The typical path is: finish your manuscript, have it edited, get a cover and interior designed, prepare files to platform specification, then publish and distribute. Most authors publish independently through platforms like Amazon KDP or IngramSpark rather than seeking a traditional publisher. Liberty Book Publishings handles the technical and creative stages for authors who would rather not manage each step alone.

Question 4

Can you help me publish my book on Amazon KDP?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Amazon KDP is one of the platforms Liberty Book Publishings works with regularly, for both eBooks and print-on-demand paperbacks and hardcovers. Our team can format your files to Amazon's specifications, prepare your cover to the correct trim size, set up your listing and metadata, and complete the upload. Your KDP account and royalties remain entirely yours.

Question 5

Do I keep 100% copyright ownership of my book?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Authors retain 100% copyright ownership of their work. Liberty Book Publishings provides publishing services and does not acquire, share, or claim any rights to your manuscript at any point. This differs from traditional publishing, where a publisher typically licenses rights in exchange for advances and royalties. Here, your book remains your property and you control how it is published, priced, and sold.

Question 6

Does Liberty Book Publishings take any of my book royalties?

Accepted Answer

No. Liberty Book Publishings does not take a percentage of your book royalties. Payment is for the services you select, quoted upfront. Once your book is published, royalties from Amazon, IngramSpark, or any other platform go directly to you under your own accounts. There is no ongoing revenue share and no back-end claim on your book's earnings.

Question 7

How long does it take to publish a book?

Accepted Answer

Timelines depend on your manuscript and the services involved. A book needing full editing takes considerably longer than one arriving print-ready and only needing a cover. Design revisions, your own review and approval time, illustration work, and each platform's own processing and review periods all affect the schedule. Liberty Book Publishings provides an estimated timeline in your proposal, based on your actual project scope.

Question 8

Can you help if my manuscript still needs editing or proofreading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many authors arrive with a complete draft that hasn't been professionally edited yet, and that is a normal starting point. Liberty Book Publishings offers proofreading, copy editing, and grammar and consistency review. Our team can assess your manuscript first and tell you what level of editing it actually needs, so you are not paying for a deeper edit than the work requires.

Question 9

Can you publish both print books and eBooks?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Liberty Book Publishings supports print and digital editions, including paperback, hardcover, and eBook formats. Print and digital require different file preparation, including trim sizes, bleed, and typesetting for print and reflowable formatting for eBooks. Each edition is built separately to the correct specification.

Question 10

Where can my book be distributed?

Accepted Answer

Distribution depends on the platforms you choose. Options include Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, and, through IngramSpark, bookstores, libraries, and wholesalers internationally. Liberty Book Publishings can set up distribution across print and digital channels. The best combination depends on your format, your readers, and whether retail and library availability matters to you.

Question 11

Is my manuscript protected before publication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NDA protection is included automatically on every project, with no request or extra fee required. Your manuscript, notes, and any material you share stay confidential and are not used, shared, or shown to anyone outside the team working on your book. Copyright in the work remains with you throughout, before and after publication.

Question 12

Do you guarantee book sales or bestseller rankings?

Accepted Answer

No. Sales figures, rankings, and bestseller status cannot be guaranteed by any publisher or publishing service. What can be controlled is the quality of your book and how well it is presented, including professional editing, a competitive cover, correct metadata, and a coordinated launch. Liberty Book Publishings focuses on those areas rather than making outcome promises.
