Text only book publishing
For first time authors who want real people, not platforms.
At Tricorn Books we do not use templates, we do not automate your book and we do not send you to a dashboard. We answer the phone and emails, we meet you in person and we treat your novel as a unique creative work.
This service is designed for authors with completed works who want their book professionally published as a high quality, text only edition. We take care of the formatting, internal layout, ISBN, front and back cover designs, plus online retail setup so your book is ready for sale worldwide.
