Reputation

Decent Hill is a reputable, traditional publisher of critically acclaimed titles. As such, we will publish your book to the same high standards as we do our traditionally published books. Your book will have the same quality of design and the same distribution reach as any other books we publish, and there will be nothing to identify your book as being self-published. You can be proud to have a reputable publisher standing behind you as you market yourself and your literary accomplishment to the world.

Speed

Go from final-edited manuscript to fully published book in about six to eight weeks. Your book can be categorized and made available for sale on DecentHill.com and on other retailer websites like Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Diesel eBooks, etc. within two to three weeks after we publish it. We then make it available for acquisition by libraries, retailers, and bookstores worldwide within 1 month after publication.

Print-On-Demand Convenience

We manufacture your book using a state of the art, print-on-demand manufacturing process that produces only the amount of your book that has been ordered, ensuring that you don't have a warehouse full of unsold books. Our manufacturing process can produce 1, 100, 10,000, or 100,000+ copies of your book on demand, ensuring that any size order can be filled in short order. Your book will always be in stock and available to purchase forever.

eBook Publishing and Distribution

Our AuthorDeluxe and AuthorGold service levels offer full eBook production and distribution. We format your book appropriately and make it available on the Kindle platform, as an Adobe Digital Editions eBook on Nook, Kobo, iBookstore (iPad, iPhone etc.) and other portable readers, and as a DRM-free, device-independent PDF eBook on DecentHill.com readable on any platform that can display PDF files. Your eBook will be carried on all the major online eBook retailers like Diesel eBooks, Books on Board, and hundreds of other reputable eBook retailers.

Personal Service

In addition to publishing your book, we offer personalized client support, including a toll-free number that gets you through to a live human being. Our unparalleled customer service is available to you before, during, and after publication of your book. You will have the support of our trained and highly qualified staff throughout your book project as you benefit from our experience as a traditional publisher.

High Quality Book Design

We not only design an attractive and suitable cover for your book, we also professionally layout and format your book's interior pages using state of the art book design applications and software according to the ideas and guidelines you provide. We will design and publish a book that will be truly yours and that will reflect your vision and style.

Copyrights

You own 100% of the rights to your book before, during, and after publication. U.S. Law automatically awards you copyright over your work as soon as you complete it.
