How our End-to-End Packages work
We publish beautiful, bestselling books and we take none of your royalties. From manuscript to publication, we can look after it all.
Unlike other publishing companies (often calling themselves “hybrid publishers”) who charge you to produce and publish your book then rake off a hefty proportion of your royalties forevermore, we claim none of your royalties. Your published book is totally your property. Because 100% of the royalties go straight to you, you should quickly recoup the cost of professional publishing with Ant Press.
