Transparency First
Scope, price, and timeline in writing before we start — and an honest read even when the answer is 'not yet'.
Who we are
About Publish Spark
We are a publishing studio for authors who take their work seriously — and expect the same in return.
Publish Spark is a professional author-services studio. You retain 100% of your rights and royalties, and remain the sole Publisher of Record.
Our mission
- 100% ownership — your manuscript, cover files, ISBNs, and royalties stay yours.
- Transparent pricing — written scope and cost before any work begins.
- Professional quality — editorial, design, and production standards that hold up beside trade titles.
- A communicative partner — clear timelines, real answers, no disappearing act.
Publish Spark works out of Randolph, New Jersey — a short drive from New York's publishing houses, and far enough away to keep our attention on the author in front of us rather than an acquisitions calendar.
We started because too many capable writers were handed confusing packages, padded invoices, and contracts that quietly took a share of their work. Our answer is simple: read the manuscript first, say what it needs, quote it honestly, and leave every right with the author.
Whether you need a single round of copy editing or an end-to-end launch across five platforms, the process and the paperwork stay the same — plain, documented, and yours.
