Self Publishing Studio

Self Publishing Studio, a self-publishing studio for Canadian authors

Self Publishing Studio is a self-publishing studio based in Canada that works with independent authors throughout the entire book creation process. Its offering spans writing and editing to design, illustration, publishing, printing, and audiobook production, with the goal of ensuring the author retains ownership of their work at all times.

Writing and editing services

The studio offers ghostwriting services to turn ideas, notes, or outlines into a complete manuscript. Among the genres and formats it works with are business books, fiction, memoirs and biographies, as well as landing page copy. Editing is offered at different levels depending on the stage of the manuscript: editorial assessment, developmental editing, line editing, and copy editing. The stated approach is to improve structure, flow, and clarity without replacing the author's voice.

Design, illustration, and printing

The graphic section includes cover design for print and electronic editions, with typographic, illustrated, minimalist, and upscale options, as well as custom illustration services. The company also handles book printing and the preparation of files for print and digital formats.

Publishing and distribution

Self Publishing Studio assists with traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing, as well as representation before literary agents. Support includes formatting, file preparation, compliance with platform requirements, and distribution, so that the book is ready for sale in physical and digital stores. The company states that the author maintains control of their accounts and rights, and mentions that it prepares listings for major print and online retailers, citing Indigo among the platforms used.

Promotion and audiobooks

For book promotion, the studio offers press releases, video trailers, podcast interviews, and promotional articles, with tactics aimed at helping readers discover the book organically. It also produces audiobooks.

Work method and target audience

The company presents itself as a studio focused on the Canadian market and local authors, and maintains that it brings under one roof the tasks usually divided among writers, editors, designers, and printers. Its method is described as a process organized in stages, with clear communication and no pressure, in which the author decides which services to hire. Its clients include both those publishing their first book and authors with previous works.

Frequently asked questions and contact

The site includes a frequently asked questions section in which it confirms that it regularly works with first-time authors and offers them step-by-step support. The company provides a customer service phone number and an email address, and offers a free content consultation in which the author can send their website link to receive suggestions.
