FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Austin, Texas — July 30, 2026 — The Author Verse today announced the launch of its professional book publishing service, a program that walks authors through editing, cover design, formatting, and distribution after a manuscript is finished. The company built the service for writers who complete a draft and then get stuck figuring out how to turn that draft into a published book. The service is available now through the company's website to clients in the United States and abroad.

Finishing a manuscript is only part of the job. Authors who reach a completed draft often run into a second wall: they don't know which editor to hire, how to format a file for Kindle or print, how to secure an ISBN, or how to get their book listed on major retail platforms. Many independent writers end up piecing together freelancers on their own, with no one checking that the final product meets industry standards. The Author Verse built its publishing service to close that gap with one team handling every step.

"A finished manuscript and a published book are two different products," said David Reyes, Head of Publishing Operations at The Author Verse. "Authors come to us after months of writing, and they don't want to spend the next six months learning file formatting and metadata rules. We handle that so they can focus on the next book."

The professional book publishing service includes:

A dedicated project manager assigned to each title
Developmental and line editing before formatting begins
Custom cover design with two rounds of revisions
Interior formatting for print, Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo
ISBN registration and metadata setup
Distribution setup across major retail and library platforms
A final proof review before the book goes live

Authors keep full rights to their work and set their own retail price under the service agreement. Project timelines run six to twelve weeks from signed contract to publication, depending on manuscript length and the number of revision rounds a client requests.

The Author Verse reports steady growth in publishing clients over the past year, with a large share coming from authors who used the company's writing or editing services first and returned to finish the job.
