A finished manuscript deserves more than an upload.
Regency Press is an author-brand strategy and self-publishing support company for authors with a completed, professionally edited manuscript or an already-published book.
What We Are
THE MOST EFFICIENT SELF-PUBLISHING
AUTHOR RESOURCE EVER!
Why People Need Self-Publishing Support?
Self-publishing gives you control, but it also makes you responsible for every publishing decision. ISBNs, metadata, categories, keywords, pricing, file requirements, platform setup, proofs, and distribution all matter.
You can have a beautifully written book and still make costly mistakes during the publishing process.
Regency Press helps publication-ready authors navigate that final stretch with clear guidance and experienced support. You keep your rights, royalties, and final approval while making informed decisions about how your book enters the marketplace.
How Do I Know If I’m Ready for Regency Press?
Regency Press is the right next step when your manuscript is complete and professionally edited or when your book is already published but needs stronger positioning and a clearer connection to your brand.
For Self-Publishing Support, your manuscript and cover files should be finished and publication-ready. If you are still writing, organizing your ideas, working through writer’s block, or need accountability to finish, Lead & Thrive Co. is the better place to begin.
Lead & Thrive helps you develop the author and the work. Regency Press steps in when the book is ready for the marketplace.
Why Would I Choose Regency Press Over Doing It Myself?
You absolutely can self-publish on your own. The real question is whether you want to spend your time learning the entire process through research, trial and error, and avoidable mistakes.
Regency Press gives you structured guidance without taking control of your book. You remain involved, keep access to your publishing accounts, retain your copyright and royalties, and make the final decisions.
You are not paying someone to simply upload a file. You are paying for clarity, a guided publishing process, careful proof coordination, and another experienced set of eyes before your book becomes public.
You keep the ownership. Regency Press helps you move forward without having to figure out every step alone.
Why Are My Prices So Affordable?
I built Regency Press to be focused, not bloated.
You pay for the support you need at your current stage without being forced into an expensive package filled with services you may not need. Editing, cover design, custom interior design, advertising, and marketing implementation are not automatically added to your price.
Affordable does not mean casual or low quality. It means the scope is clearly defined, the business model is lean, and the pricing is not padded with unnecessary extras.
Some current prices are also limited founding rates. As Regency Press completes its first round of client projects, those rates will increase.
