Anchor Book Press

Anchor Book Press, Ltd is an independent hybrid publisher with an author centered approach to publishing. Because we are a small publishing house, we can provide the individual attention required to successfully publish your book.

Traditional Publishers: These are the big 5 publishers. Writers submit manuscripts. Publishers accept manuscript and offer a contract. However, as most writers know it is very difficult to get someone to even read your manuscript, much less offer you a contract. It is a very long process. These publishers offer:

Advance (though it may be small)
Auto-Listing on Amazon and Barnes and Noble
Market Support (often not what is expected)
Wholesale distribution
Orders for wholesale are filled for you
Accept risks of publishing
Editor changes your book to control risks
Publisher owns your book and copyright

Self-Publishers: Writers who are going through Amazon or a similar company to publish their book.

Retain 100% of rights to your book
Control the content of your book
Set retail pricing
Higher royalty rates
Listed on Amazon or Barnes & Noble
Obtain editing services on your own
Format document and create cover independently

Independent Publishers: Otherwise known as indie publishers. This is the most rapidly growing type of publisher in the book publishing industry. As a matter of fact, some indie publishers are now so large they do not take unsolicited manuscripts.
