Most printing problems start in the files. Images saved at screen resolution, text too close to the edge, fonts that are not embedded, or a spine a few millimeters off will all show up in the printed book. The prepress team at The American Book Services checks your interior and cover files against the printer's specifications before anything is ordered. If something needs fixing, we either fix it or explain exactly what has to change.
We work to your quantity and timeline. A run of 50 copies for a launch event is printed differently from 2,000 copies for a distributor, and we recommend the method that keeps your cost per copy sensible.
You get the editors, designers, and publishing know-how of a traditional house, but your book stays under your name and your control. You decide on the cover, the price, and where it sells.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation about your story, your readers and your goals. We get to know the book properly before writing, editing, or design begins, so the finished work reflects what you set out to say.
We do not take a share of your sales, and we never ask for your copyright or publishing rights. Every platform account is set up in your name, and the earnings go straight to you.
You see the cost of each service before work starts. You approve every file before anything is published, and you always know what stage your book is at.
A dedicated project manager keeps your schedule on track and replies when you have a question. If something on our side runs late, you hear it from us first.
We publish your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Kobo. We also set it up with IngramSpark, so bookstores and libraries in many countries can order copies.
We can help build your author brand and plan your launch. That covers social media, Amazon ads, A+ Content, author pages, and press features, all aimed at the readers most likely to buy your book.
These are the practical commitments behind every print order we arrange.

Start ProjectA digital proof shows layout. A printed proof shows color, paper, and binding. We recommend checking a printed proof for any sizable run, especially for books with color images or dark covers, which can print differently from how they look on screen. We arrange the proof, collect your feedback, and only release the full run once you approve it. For reprints, we keep your settings on file so later orders match the first.

The physical feel of a book matters to readers. We walk you through the options: cream paper for novels, white for nonfiction and illustrated books, coated stock for full color pages, matte or gloss lamination for covers, and perfect binding, case binding, or saddle stitching depending on page count. If you are not sure, we can arrange printed samples so you can feel the difference before you decide. Call The American Book Services for a printing quote.

Our writers, editors, proofreaders, and designers have worked on novels, memoirs, nonfiction, children’s books, business titles, and academic writing. Every project is different, and we treat it that way, matching each book with people who know its genre and its readers. On the visual side, our illustrators and cover designers make sure each book looks as good as it reads, in print and online. Take a look at some of the books we have worked on.
Most authors end up juggling an editor, a designer, and a publisher, each with their own timeline. At The American Book Services, one team handles it all. That covers writing support, editing, proofreading, covers, illustrations, formatting, publishing, and promotion. You pick what your book needs and skip what it does not. You approve every step; your book is published under your name, and every royalty it earns goes straight to you.
Let’s Get Started
Before contacting us you might want to check whether your question is one of our FAQs.
At The American Book Services, we offer a complete range of writing and editing services, including book writing, ghostwriting, fiction writing, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. Our writers and editors work closely with you at every stage, from the first outline to the final proofread, so your manuscript is polished, consistent, and ready for publication.
At The American Book Services, our design and illustration services include custom cover design, full print wraps with spine and back cover, interior formatting for print and eBook, and original illustrations such as character art, maps, and graphics. Every design is built to your genre and prepared to the exact specifications of your printer and retailers.
Yes. At The American Book Services, you keep 100% of the rights to your book, including your manuscript, cover, and artwork, and you make the final decisions on content, pricing, and distribution. We do not take any share of your royalties. All earnings are paid by the platforms directly into your own account.
At The American Book Services, timelines depend on the services your book needs.

Before any work begins, we give you a clear schedule with a date for every stage.
At The American Book Services, pricing depends on the services you choose, the length of your book, and the level of work involved. We do not force you into fixed packages, so you pay only for what your book actually needs. You receive a detailed written quote before work begins, with no hidden fees.
Yes. At The American Book Services, nothing is published without your approval. You review and sign off on your outline, edits, cover design, and final proofs, and a dedicated project manager keeps you informed and answers your questions throughout the process.
