A LA CARTE
STANDALONE SERVICES

This option is designed for authors, businesses, and publishers who don’t need a full publishing package but still want access to professional expertise. Whether you’re producing a family history book, a company report, or managing a DIY publishing project with independent suppliers, you can pick and choose exactly the services you need — from editing and design to printing, distribution, and more. It’s flexible, professional, and tailored to fit your publishing goals.

Your rights, your control

Our model is built on transparency, fairness, and complete author empowerment and control.

  • When you publish with Quickfox or Yes!Press, you remain the full copyright holder of your manuscript and the sole owner of all production files. You are free to republish your content in other forms and products. 
  • Local and global distribution accounts are opened in your name, with royalties paid directly to you. Apart from the standard retailer discounts charged by distributors, nothing is withheld — no publisher commission, no hidden fees.
  • You also remain free to resell your publishing rights, license translations, or pursue additional publishing opportunities at any time.
