Self-Publishing with Professional Guidance

For writers seeking the best that self-publishing can offer, Archway offers the highest quality design, formatting, editorial and marketing services, provided by a team of specialists at Author Solutions. Simon & Schuster has provided guidelines on book design, introduced certain unique self-publishing services and designed packages tailored to meet specific author objectives, and will keep an eye out for titles that perform well in the marketplace.

Best-Selling Author Lisa Genova got her Start by Self-Publishing
As a first-time novelist, Lisa Genova struggled to find a publisher, so she decided to self-publish her book Still Alice. The book was later acquired by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, and published in 2009. She landed a multiple-book deal, made The New York Times Best Sellers List and now has more than 2 million copies in print.
