You don’t need all the answers to reach out. In fact, most of the authors we work with are still figuring things out when they first connect with us, and that’s perfectly okay. Whether you’ve got a full manuscript, a half-finished draft, or just a title scribbled in a notebook, we’ll meet you where you are and guide you from there.
Feel free to choose whichever strategy works best for you. Our courteous and educated staff is available to answer your inquiries and give the information you want.

“When I first approached Barnes and Noble Self Publish, I was just another writer with a manuscript and a dream. I didn’t expect a team that would treat my book like their own life’s mission. My book is making waves. Thank you for believing in writers who have something real to say.”
“I’ve been in the corporate world for 20 years, and I thought writing a book would be like another business project. But this team showed me that publishing is an art form.

All thanks to Barnes and Noble Self Publish.”
“As a first-generation immigrant, my story felt too complex, too nuanced for traditional publishing channels. Barnes and Noble Self Publish saw my manuscript as a cultural bridge. Their sensitivity to my narrative, combined with their aggressive marketing strategy, turned my personal history into a bestselling memoir that’s now being translated into three languages.”
“Writing was my therapy, my secret weapon against years of personal struggle. I never imagined my journal entries could become a published book that helps thousands. Barnes and Noble Self Publish excavated the power within my words. Their approach is part publishing, part psychological insight. My book is now a beacon of hope for survivors, and I owe that entirely to their incredible support.”
“I’m a technical professional who thought writing was just a side hobby. Barnes and Noble Self Publish showed me that technical expertise and storytelling aren’t mutually exclusive. They helped me transform complex technological concepts into a narrative that’s both accessible and compelling. My book is now recommended for reading at three major tech conferences. Who would have thought?”
