About Award-Winning Book Publisher Seacoast Press

Welcome to the home of Seacoast Press. As an award-winning book publisher, Seacoast Press provide authors with one of the most author-friendly experiences in the industry, offering top-notch book publishing services; Best Seller campaigns; and 100% royalties through our Best Seller publishing service package. Our services are “traditional-quality” — in other words, we provide you with the support of a professional team and, as a result, your published book will look and feel like a top-notch traditionally published book. But our business model is considered “non-traditional” or “hybrid”– and preferred by many — because of the following reasons:

• You, the author, retain all publishing rights when you publish with Seacoast Press (instead of transferring your rights to a traditional publisher).
• You keep control over the content of your book as well as the book design (vs. traditional publishers that generally want final say over the book design and content of your book).
• You do not need a literary agent in order to work with us (most traditional publishers require that you contact them through an agent).
• You are able to get your book published in about 3-6 months (instead of over a year through a traditional publisher).
• You receive 100% royalties when you publish with us (vs. an average of about 10% via traditional publishing).
• We offer a Best Seller Campaign via our Best Seller service program to help authors become bestsellers.

Our Famous Traditional-Quality Book Publishing Services

Sure, the Seacoast Press publishing model is “non-traditional,” but we pride ourselves in supplying authors with traditional-quality services such as…

• Top-notch custom cover and interior book design.
• Project manager working with you one-on-one throughout the publishing process.
• First-rate book printing: softcover and hardback in black and white or full-color (dust jacket option available for the hardback format).

We are not affiliated with any of those major traditional publishers, but we take printing quality just as seriously as they do.
• Book distribution through Ingram, the largest book wholesale distributor in the world.
• Access to world-class marketing and publicity services.
• Order fulfillment and quarterly sales reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I become a bestselling author?

The proven way to become a bestselling author is to write a great book; get the book professionally edited and designed; assign a book category with low to medium competition to your book on Amazon and then run aggressive ad campaigns for your book. Companies like Seacoast Press can help you with all of the above.

Do I need a literary agent to get published?

Many of the largest publishing houses in the USA require authors to submit their work to them through literary agents. So if you want to publish with any of the Big 5 publishers, the answer is yes, you need a literary agent. However, there are plenty of independent book publishers that do not require an author to be represented by a literary agent. Self-publishing is also a viable option for those who want to get published without going through a literary agent.

How do I copyright my book?

Technically speaking, your book is copyrighted the moment you create the work. However, you can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office (www.copyright.gov) in order to give yourself added protection.
