Self-publishing is the process by which an author independently publishes their work without relying on a traditional publishing house. In self-publishing, the author retains full control over the entire publishing process, including the creative, financial, and distribution aspects. This means the author is responsible for everything from writing and editing to cover design, formatting, and marketing.

PurposePals publishes a variety of book genres including, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Check out our writer guidelines for more information. We do not publish manuscripts containing excessive profanity, sexually explicit content, or horror.

Yes, with self-publishing, you keep full ownership of your manuscript and can decide on its distribution.

In self-publishing, royalties are the earnings you receive from the sales of your book. The percentage of royalties you earn depends on the platform you use to publish and the pricing structure you choose. For example, if you publish through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), you can earn royalties ranging from 35% to 70% of the book's sale price, depending on factors like the book's price and the distribution territories you select. PurposePals does not collect royalties from published work.

If you have a completed manuscript and are ready to get started, we recommend you submit your manuscript for review and acceptance by our team.
