Self Publishing Made Easy

We collaborate with authors on all aspects of self-publishing their work – obtaining an ISBN, copyediting proofs, choosing a bind – because we know book production. Southwestern poet Burgess Needle, author of Faded Photo Brings it Back, captures the close-knit style of AlphaGraphics self-publishing: “Working with Kevin and Lisa on my poetry manuscript was a pleasurable learning experience.” When our self-published authors finish their work, we start ours.

As Pizza Memoirs author Linda Groves believes of her book design, our visual creativity meets our authors’ creative expectations: “I like to say Anthony designed the cover of my book through osmosis.” Along with text, writers may bring our design team photos for their book’s cover and interior pages, or simply provide a few keywords and color preferences. From that material, we create a show-stopping cover. From an array of options – full-color cover, embossing, original graphics and logos; we create exquisite designs for all genres of books.

2012 Best of the Southwest author Lorna Kraemer, co-author with RaMar Gorby Orgeron of Javelina on Her Doorstep, believes in self-publishing: “Kevin works closely with you to provide a product you like.” Choosing self-publishing affords you control over your book – its content, cover design, marketing; all aspects are in your hands with our expert assistance. More and more of our authors are publishing both print and e-books, and we guide those who want to control their books’ online presence.
