Welcome to the World of Book Publishing!

So you wanna know about book publishing and getting your words into print? Tight finances are often a problem for new authors. Traditional Publishers take all the risk. Print-On-Demand Publishers give you several choices and each added increment costs you more money. Traditional Publishers make decisions to print your book based on how many they can move out the door. Print-On-Demand Publishers make most of their money from an author at the beginning of the relationship.
At Harmon Press, we want to help you get your words into print as painlessly as possible. So we have one small setup fee of $399.00*. That’s it. Of course, there are other upgrades that you might consider, but you surely don’t have to purchase them. This low fee will get your book into print and offer you the following publishing commitment as an author:

5 FAQs
Here are five very important questions that are often asked about Harmon Press:
Why Are You Doing This?
We believe at Harmon Press that everyone should have a fair opportunity to have their work published into a book. However, we recognize that traditional publishers make decisions on who they will publish by how many books they can sell. Some Print-On-Demand Publishers charge you a huge fee up front to get you off and running. Harmon Press, however, only charges you a small fee to get your book into print while giving you all the services that other Print-On-Demand publishers offer you (some of them at an extra fee above their setup fee). We take the best of the technology of Print-On-Demand and offer it to our customers. In the final analysis, publishing with Harmon Press is a win-win situation for the author.
Are There Any Strings Attached?
Good question. There is one. You are obligated to purchase an initial 50 paperback books at 50% off the Suggested Retail Price. This is beyond the initial setup fee of $399.00. That’s a one time requirement. You don’t ever have to purchase another book from us, although we hope you will buy hundreds or even thousands.
Will Harmon Press Market My Book?
Not in the traditional sense of ongoing marketing. We will provide you with a resource that will help you market your book. After all you are the best sales person for your own book. We do, however, place your book on Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, in Books in Print, and on Google Books. All at no cost to you…That’s right…Free!
What About Proofreading?
No, We will print your book the way you send it to us. However, you may purchase our Editorial Services at a per word cost. Harmon Press offers Authors a fresh set of professional eyes. Proofreading, using the industry-standard rules, includes punctuation usage, grammar, and spelling. We will show you how much it costs in advance.
Is There Anything Else?
Yes, we will give you some suggestions of how to set up your Word document for our publishing process, so it will meet our basic publishing requirements.
