About us
Built for authors who aren't willing to wait for permission.
LaunchPad Books grew out of a simple frustration: writers and editors watching extraordinary manuscripts vanish into agent slush piles. So we assembled a full production studio — editing, design, print, eBook, audio, worldwide distribution and marketing in one place — letting independent authors publish to readers across 180+ countries as fast as their ambition demands.
The author comes first.
We take no royalties, no sub-rights, no equity — ever. Your book, and everything it earns around the world, stays entirely yours.
Pricing you can trust.
Every quote is broken out line by line before a single task begins. No inflated estimates, no surprise charges, no creative math.
Craft before haste.
We work quickly, but we won't release anything we wouldn't be proud to display ourselves. Editors who know your genre. Designers who choose every typeface deliberately.
How we got here.
It began with helping a few friends — and their friends — bring books into the world. Word spread. A studio took shape. Two thousand titles on, the mission hasn't changed; only our team and our tools have grown sharper, and our reach has gone global.
If you're writing something, we'd be glad to read it.
