Authors keep 100% of their rights — and we take 0% of their royalties.

Is Open Page Publishing one of the best book publishing companies?

Yes. Open Page Publishing is rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot and has helped 500+ authors publish professionally. Unlike traditional publishers, we offer transparent pricing, no rights grab, and full author ownership. We are based in Dallas, TX and serve authors across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

Do authors keep their rights when publishing with Open Page Publishing?

Yes — 100%. Authors retain full ownership of their manuscript, cover, and all publishing rights. Open Page Publishing is a service provider, not a publisher that takes ownership. Your name is on every ISBN, every KDP account, and every publishing record.

How long does it take to publish a book with Open Page Publishing?

Most books are published within 4-6 weeks from manuscript submission. This includes editing, cover design, formatting, ISBN registration, and global distribution to Amazon and major stores.

What book publishing services does Open Page Publishing offer?

Open Page Publishing offers: book publishing and distribution, ghost writing, proofreading and editing, book cover design, interior formatting and layout, audiobook narration and production, book marketing and promotion, children's book publishing with custom illustrations, and author website design. All services are available from a single team in Dallas, Texas.

How much does it cost to publish a book with Open Page Publishing?

Pricing depends on the book's length and the services required. Open Page Publishing provides a detailed, itemized quote before any work begins — no hidden fees, no surprises. Contact us for a consultation and quote.

What platform do you build on?

We build on WordPress or Webflow depending on your needs — both offer easy content management. We discuss the best fit for you during the discovery call before any design begins.

How long does it take to build?

Most author websites are completed within 3–5 weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly you provide content (bio, photos, book covers) and how many revision rounds are needed.

Do you help with the domain and hosting?

Yes. We guide you through purchasing your domain (yourname.com) and setting up hosting. We recommend reliable, affordable options and handle all technical configuration — you just pay for the domain and hosting directly.

Can I see examples of author websites you've built?

Absolutely. Book a consultation and we'll share relevant portfolio examples from your genre. We'll also show you mockup directions so you can picture your own site before committing.

What if I want to add more books later?

All our websites are designed to grow with you. Adding a new book page or updating your catalog is straightforward — something you can do yourself or we can handle for you as part of ongoing support.

Can you integrate my email list and social media?

Yes. We connect your site to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or any major email platform and add social media links, sharing buttons, and embed options. Building an email list of readers is one of the highest-value things an author can do online.

The Process

Five Steps from Brief to Live Author Website

Discovery & Brand Brief

We start with a conversation — your genre, audience, style preferences, colors, and what you want readers to feel when they visit your site. No forms, no guesswork.

Style Direction & Wireframe

You see a visual layout of your site before any design work begins. You approve the structure, content flow, and feel — we don't build what you haven't confirmed.

Custom Design & Development

Your site is built from scratch — no generic templates. Every font, color, and layout decision is made for your specific author brand.

Content Loading & Review

Your book covers, bio, links, and copy are loaded in. You review the full live preview and request any changes before launch.

Launch & Handover

We launch your site and walk you through how to update it — add a blog post, change a book link, upload a new event. You're fully in control.

Excellent work

I am extremely pleased with the service so far, the consistent review, and follow-up on projects are commendable. I am also pleased with the finished product that I have received. The book project I am sure will receive great reviews, because it was well-managed and published, by Openpagepublishing!

Seamless — even when things went wrong

My illustrator disappeared halfway through my children's book. Open Page Publishing found a replacement within a week. They studied the previous sketches to keep the same style. The transition was seamless.
