SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON
MAJOR DIFFERENCES
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Acorn Publishing is a highly selective independent imprint that uses a unique publishing model to combine the best elements of traditional publishing with the biggest benefits of self-publishing.
This means you publish a quality book in only 6-8 months under a respected imprint with the same high-end cover design, customized interior, and polished content as the "Big 5" publishing houses,
AND you have collaborative input and creative participation in every step of the process.
If your book is accepted into the imprint we will provide two paths for you to choose from:
THE INDIE AUTHOR EXPERIENCE or PUBLISHING DRIVEN EXPERIENCE
We also provide a concierge service for those looking for a seasoned ghost writer for their story.

INDIE
AUTHOR EXPERIENCE
The Indie Author Path is for authors who want to maintain full control of every aspect of the publishing process. The author will have a hand in each of the necessary steps, whether it be working directly with your formatter, or uploading and managing their own content. This grants the capable author a greater sense of freedom to promote and market a product crafted specific to their liking.

PUBLISHER
DRIVEN EXPERIENCE
The Traditional Publishing Path is for authors who would rather have all the steps involved in publishing taken care of for them. Much like with a traditional publisher, authors can concentrate solely on their writing. With this package everything from cover design to content management, formatting, distribution, etc. is handled by Acorn Publishing allowing the author the freedom to write that next book.

Our seasoned professionals will not only take on the role of crafting your story, but all the steps involved in publishing as well.
