Free Author Consultation
To discuss how self-publishing can help support your goals, schedule a free author consultation with Spoonbridge Press and let’s explore your options.
We get it: self-publishing can be overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it alone.
Self-publishing offers incredible freedom. It also comes with high stakes.
If you’d like to discuss the publishing and distribution decisions that work best for your book—or if you just need help understanding your options—schedule a 30-minute exploratory call with our lead editor, Sarah. She will listen to your goals for your book and outline what a professionally guided publishing project could look like for your project.
If you’re serious about publishing a book that builds credibility and impact, this 30-minute call will help clarify your best next step. We typically begin by talking through your priorities and scope before recommending any services, and this conversation helps ensure we’re the right fit for each other.
(Not ready to schedule a call? You’re welcome to start with our Project Questionnaire instead. This gives us the same background information we use to evaluate projects and tailor our recommendations, and it’s a helpful first step if you to prefer to begin in writing before scheduling a conversation.)
How Does Spoonbridge Press Help Independent Authors?
We’re a small publication management team that guides independent authors through the self-publishing process with clarity, structure, and expert oversight. We’ve been doing it for years, we care deeply about the work we accept, and we take an intentional, hands-on approach to every project we accept.
We manage a carefully vetted team of editors, book designers, and distribution specialists. Our full publication management is designed around our core publishing plan and offers high-touch guidance and professional oversight throughout the process. We’ll educate you on editing, design, and distribution, provide rigorous quality control along the way, and help you understand the choices that shape your book and author career.
When you work with Spoonbridge Press, you own your ISBNs. We never mark up the cost for author copies. All publisher royalties are deposited directly into your bank account. And while you remain in charge of all editorial and design decisions, we guide you toward the publishing and distribution strategies that support your long-term goals.

“Sarah had a gift for keeping me on track without micromanaging me.
She listened to my ideas, and we talked a lot about my vision for the book. Her goal was to make my book the reality I wanted it to be, even when we needed to stray a little from the original proposal to get it done. Never once did she drop the ball on managing the publishing process. The final outcome: the book is beautiful! If you are shopping for a publisher that honors and represents your vision of your book, look no further. If I write a second book, there would be no way I could complete it without Sarah!”
