There are many ways to publish a book.
We’ll help you find your way.
Self-publishing your own book can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but understanding the process can be daunting.
You could spend days reading blog posts about cover designs and Amazon optimization and still not know where to start. Spoonbridge Press helps new authors make sense of the wild world of self-publishing by assembling a custom publishing plan for every book, working with vetted literary professionals, and offering insight and guidance every step of the way. We offer a host of self-publishing services and can work with a variety of budgets to produce a book you’ll be proud of.
“Sarah is an exceptional, diverse editor with an attention to detail that every project needs.
She helped me research, compile, and edit the fourth and fifth editions of my book, The Fine Print of Self-Publishing. This book is directly responsible for a significant amount of business for my company. Sarah was my first and only choice for this editing assignment.”

We pride ourselves on working with authors of all experience levels and offering a personalized plan for success with the best customer service available.
There are no “hard sells”—we let your true needs and wants dictate the process, whether that’s connecting with readers through optimized listings or using your book as an extension of your existing business or speaking career. Whatever your goals, our combined 20 years of experience in editing and publishing and 15 years in education make us the right team to transform your knowledge and insight into a professional book you’ll be proud to share with clients, loved ones, and the world.
“I don’t see Sarah as an editor.
I see her as a book shepherd.
I’ve written three other books, and I’ve had other editors, but what Sarah offers is the whole package. She’s a project manager, a cheerleader, an accountability partner, a liaison to book designers and marketing folks, and an extraordinary strategic partner in bringing your project to life. I would highly recommend Sarah Kolb-Williams and Spoonbridge Press for your next book project if your intention is to bring something important and meaningful to the world.”

“After researching and interviewing several publishers, one of the best decisions I’ve made is to select the great team at Spoonbridge Press.
Sarah Kolb-Williams was an outstanding coach, listening to my intentions and suggesting edits that improved the quality of what I was trying to convey. Britt Peterson was a master conductor of details, steps, tasks, and handoffs that produced a wonderful edition. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
