Why not have a big New York publisher publish my book?
We believe your story is worth telling. The reality, however, is that most of the manuscripts people write never get published. Out of the estimated two million book-length manuscripts circulating each year to publishers, roughly 100,000, or 5%, will be published. Of these 5%, only about 30% sell enough copies to make money. Therefore, less than 2% of the manuscripts sent to publishers yearly will actually be published and make a profit. If you do make money, typical royalties run from 7-10%.

At DeForest Press, we'll help you beat the odds by publishing the book you want at an affordable price, while you keep control of your book and keep 100% of the profits.

How much will it cost to publish my book?
Because we work with the latest technology in terms of page layout, printing and binding, self-publishing with DeForest Press is surprisingly affordable. We'll help you decide what is the most cost-effective way to publish your book before you pay a penny. Five hundred copies of a professional-looking book of 150 pages with a four-color cover can cost as little as a few thousand dollars.
