Your manuscript. Your decisions. Our craft.

Publishing Core offers optional writing, editing, design and production support for a separately agreed service fee. You choose the services you need. Third-party publishing platforms have their own accounts, eligibility rules, fees and royalty terms; our service fee does not buy platform access or guaranteed sales.

Your publishing accounts should be registered in your own name or business, with your own contact and payment details. You retain control of those accounts and receive platform payments directly under the provider's terms. Any assistance and access must be agreed with you; do not send passwords or payment credentials through this website's forms or chat.

No. The covers labelled Studio concept are original design demonstrations created for this website. They show approaches to typography, layout and genre; they are not presented as published books, client commissions, sales results or endorsements. Cover design projects are identified separately and credit our design work. A portfolio entry is not a claim that Publishing Core published the book.

Royalties are the earnings a retailer or publishing platform pays you for eligible book sales under its terms. They are not necessarily the full selling price: the platform's royalty rate, printing costs and other applicable charges affect the amount you receive.

No. Publishing Core takes no agency share of your book royalties. You keep 100% of the author royalties paid by your chosen platforms. Our agreed service fees are separate; retailer royalty rates, printing costs and third-party platform charges still apply. Keeping your royalties does not mean receiving 100% of a book's retail price.

Self-publishing means you arrange the preparation and release of your book rather than relying on a traditional publisher to select and fund it. You can commission support for writing, editing, cover design, formatting and publication tasks. We agree on the work, responsibilities and author approvals before your project begins.

Sharing your manuscript for an inquiry does not transfer its copyright to Publishing Core. Before paid work starts, we agree on the rights to completed work, the files you will receive, account access, author approvals and any third-party licenses. These details belong in your written proposal or project agreement.

No. You can begin with an idea, an outline, a partial draft, or a completed manuscript. Tell us what you have and what you want to achieve so we can discuss a suitable starting point.
