Self-publishing, reimagined
Your book.
Actually
PublishD.
Five steps from manuscript to bookshelf. No design skills, no agents, no compromises. Just your words in print.
The process
Five steps to
your spine.
We've stripped away everything that isn't essential. Publishing should feel like writing, not accounting.

Choose your design
Pick from 40+ typeset layouts designed by real book designers. Preview instantly, no InDesign required.
Fine-tune & proof

Go live on Amazon, Bookshop.org, and independent retailers in 48 hours. Your name on the spine.
Author stories
Words from
the shelf.
I'd been sitting on my memoir for six years. PublishD got it into readers' hands in two weeks. Two weeks.
The Long Way Home
As a designer I was skeptical about automated layouts. The templates are genuinely beautiful — I'd have charged a client £3,000 for the same output.
Grid Systems for Everyone
My small press has published 14 books through PublishD. The royalty structure alone has changed how I think about indie publishing economics.
