SELF-PUBLISHING, YOUR WAY
Your Book. Your Vision. Your publishing journey
Self-publishing gives authors more control over how their books are created, published, and promoted—but doing everything yourself can quickly become overwhelming.
That's where Kunz Publishing can help.
We work with local authors and publishing professionals to provide the services needed to transform a manuscript into a professionally prepared book.
You can choose only the services you need while maintaining your creative rights, staying involved in the process, and keeping 100% of your royalties.
EVERYTHING YOUR BOOK NEEDS
Self-Publishing Services
Whether you need help polishing your manuscript or support throughout the entire publishing process, we'll build a plan around your book.
Manuscript Assessment
Not sure whether your manuscript is ready to publish?
A manuscript assessment provides professional feedback on your book before you move into editing, design, and production. We'll help identify opportunities to strengthen your manuscript and determine the best next steps toward publication.
Editing & Proofreading
Great ideas deserve a polished final manuscript.
Our editing and proofreading services help improve grammar, clarity, consistency, readability, and flow while respecting your individual writing style and voice.
Whether your book needs a thorough edit or a final proofread before publication, we'll help prepare it for readers.
Interior Book Formatting
How your book looks on the inside matters just as much as the cover.
Professional interior formatting creates a clean, consistent reading experience and prepares your manuscript for print or digital publication.
From chapter headings and page layouts to margins, spacing, and typography, we'll help give your book a professional finished appearance.
Children’s Book Illustration
Have a children's story that needs to come to life?
We can connect your words with engaging illustrations that complement your story, characters, and creative vision.
From individual illustrations to complete children's book layouts, we'll help create a visual experience young readers and their families can enjoy.
Book Cover Design
Readers really do judge books by their covers.
A professionally designed book cover can help your title stand out online, on a bookstore shelf, or at a local book signing.
We'll help create a cover that reflects your book's subject, personality, and audience while meeting the technical requirements needed for publication.
Publishing & File Assistance
The technical side of self-publishing doesn't have to be intimidating.
Kunz Publishing can help prepare your files and guide you through the publishing process, including uploading properly formatted book files and navigating the requirements of self-publishing platforms.
You remain the author and maintain control of your work—we simply help make the process easier.
Book Marketing & Multimedia Promotion
Publishing your book is only the beginning. Readers still need to discover it.
We offer custom multimedia promotional services designed to help authors introduce their books, build awareness, and connect with potential readers.
Your promotional strategy can be tailored around your book, audience, and goals rather than forcing every author into the same marketing package.
Book Sales & Signing Events
Meet your readers and celebrate what you've created.
Kunz Publishing can help authors explore opportunities for book sales, signings, promotional events, and other ways to connect with readers throughout the Northern Kentucky community.
