Professional service all the way

Yes!Press Publishing is an imprint of Quickfox Publishing, South Africa’s trusted, award-winning publishing brand. Yes!Press Publishing brings to the table Quickfox’s professional resources and expertise, which means you get the best services possible for your book publishing. You’re also assured design and production quality that exceeds that of other service providers in the package-based publishing market. We do not run a sausage mill. Our team is hands-on with every project and we provide excellent customer service just a local or online call away.

Publishing packages for better cost management

Yes!Press Publishing offers straightforward package-based book publishing at competitive rates. Our aim is to remove the ‘overwhelm’ from publishing and help authors who have a polished manuscript get to market quickly and easily. Yes!Press package fees are a once-off cost to perform the services needed to get you published and make your book available to buyers worldwide. We can also refer you to our trusted editors if your manuscript is not yet ready for publishing.

Full ownership and publishing freedom

With Yes!Press Publishing you enjoy full ownership and control of your distribution account. We also publish what YOU want. No rejections and no pushy salespeople trying to upsell, cross-sell or oversell you services. You retain full copyright of your manuscript and you own the print-ready PDF and ebook files that we produce.

Once your global distribution account has been set up, you can access your sales and royalty data any time you wish, change your book price, tweak your keywords for better SEO, run promotions, and more.

Maximum earnings

With Yes!Press Publishing, you keep 100% of net profit on every book that sells, in perpetuity, because you own your distribution account and are paid directly by the distributor for all sales.

Local bulk printing at the print manufacturing cost 

Order books in bulk for your local sales and pay only the print manufacturing cost, plus local delivery. Don’t pay thousands of rands extra in hefty delivery costs by publishing overseas and shipping books back to South Africa.

If you are a non-South African author, you can also order books in bulk at the print manufacturing cost, with local or regional delivery, through the international author account portal we set up for you.

Either way, Yes!Press has local and international authors covered in the most cost-effective way possible.

Print-on-demand sales 

Don’t want to print in bulk? No problem. Sell your book on a print-on-demand basis through Amazon.com and Publisher.co.za. No capital outlay. No piles of stock. And no unnecessary warehousing costs. We set up your title – you drive customers to either store.

Hardcover printing

Certain book sizes are available in hardcover format. This is the perfect option for limited or special edition books. Simply activate the hardcover add-on service.

Editorial services

Still need editing or proofreading? No problem. Yes!Press Publishing offers editorial options to suit your budget. Drop us a line to get connected with an editor.

Quick turnaround for eager-beavers

Don’t wait months to see your book on Amazon. If your manuscript is polished and ready to go, Yes!Press’s straight-to-market model will see you up and running in as little as 10–12 working days for ebooks, and roughly two months for paperbacks. If your book still needs editing or proofreading, it will take longer.

DRM-protection for your ebooks

DRM involves locking a digital file so that only the person who purchases your ebook can view it. DRM-protected ebooks are usually read on dedicated devices or by using DRM-enabled apps.

DRM-protection is automatically applied to all ebooks published through Yes!Press Publishing; however, you are given the opportunity to choose your DRM preference when you complete our customer onboarding form.

Author earnings paid directly to you

Once your book is available for sale, you can access your author account at any time to track sales and earnings, adjust your pricing, and more. You receive payments directly for all sales, with distribution costs deducted upfront – Yes!Press does not take a penny from your earnings. You keep 100% of what you make, unlike most package-based publishing models that deduct a percentage of sales before paying you.

We’ll assist you in setting up a royalty-receiving account, from which you can transfer funds to your local bank whenever you choose. There are no minimum payout thresholds, so you get paid as soon as a sale is made, regardless of the amount.

Excellent author support

Receive excellent service and author support for the duration of the project as part of the package cost. If you require additional, high-level advice and specialised consulting, enjoy easy access to the Quickfox Publishing team of senior publishers at a discounted rate.

Publish under the Yes!Press imprint, or your own brand

As a Yes!Press client, your book will feature the Yes!Press logo on the spine. However, you can publish under your own brand if you prefer.

This full paperback publishing and global distribution solution turns your edited manuscript into a beautiful, high-quality book that can be purchased through the world’s largest stores.

We set up global distribution for sales through all Amazon marketplaces, and local print-on-demand sales through Publisher.co.za, with access to South African bookstores for qualifying titles, offered through our local distribution partners. You also receive 10 printed promotional copies of your book to get you started. One of these copies is used for legal deposit, which we submit on your behalf.
