We recommend a publishing path or service by matching where your book is today and how much you want to do yourself against five stated criteria.
Defining Moments Press writes every recommendation on this site. We sell the services we recommend, so we say so, we use the same criteria for every option, and we quote market numbers only from named, linked sources.
We start with two questions: is your manuscript written, and do you want to write it yourself? Then we compare options on upfront cost, royalties kept, time to publish, launch and marketing support, and who each suits.
We apply them to every option, including our own, and we name the cases where another option fits better.
Market ranges come from published pages we link to, including Manuscript Report, Reedsy and Writer Cosmos. We quote whole ranges and do not present them as our own results. Defining Moments Press facts, such as service inclusions and the $1,997 Author Blueprint price, come from its own published pages.
We do not invent prices, reviews or results. Client results we mention are reported by Defining Moments Press and are not guaranteed or typical. Our comparisons are not independent and no third-party audit was performed. We do not promise sales, rankings or bestseller status for any individual book.
Each page shows the month it was last updated. When a price, service or market figure changes, we update the page and its date together. If you spot something out of date, tell us on a discovery call. See our comparison of publishing paths for these criteria in use.
