MuirWood Publishers was founded on a simple idea: self-publishing should feel empowering, not overwhelming — and the author should never have to give up their royalties or their rights to get there.
Like the forests our name is drawn from, MuirWood was built to grow slowly and hold up over time. Since 2015 we've guided thousands of first-time and returning authors from a rough manuscript to a finished, distributed book — without asking them to sign away their royalties or their copyright to do it.
Every book that comes through MuirWood is assigned a single project manager who stays with it from the first edit to launch day, coordinating our editors, designers, and marketing team so the author never has to chase down five different vendors.
An A+ rating and hundreds of five-star author reviews back every promise we make.
Every cover, layout, and edit meets a bar high enough to be proud to hold and display.
A dedicated team guides you through each step, empowering you with real resources.
As a self-published author, you keep full copyright and creative control of your work, always.
MuirWood is one of the few publishers in the country offering authors 100% of their net royalties. We charge a flat, transparent fee for our publishing services — never a cut of your book sales, this year or in ten years.
That's paired with full copyright ownership, print-on-demand and digital distribution to over 45,000 booksellers, and flexible printing for everything from a single author copy to a bulk event order.
A small, senior team of editors, designers, and publishing directors — not a call center.
