About / Who we are

We're a publishing
house that works
like a studio.

Our story

Founded in 2007.

Author Prime was founded by editors and designers who kept meeting authors with good books and bad publishing experiences. We built the alternative: one accountable team, senior people on every project, and no surprises in the invoice.

Mission

Craft, without the trade-off.

Every serious manuscript deserves the same craft the big houses reserve for their lead titles — and the author should keep the rights, the royalties and the final say.

Expertise

Senior people, every project.

Nineteen years, 480+ published titles, and editors and designers who came from trade publishing, academic presses and national newspapers. Your book is never handed to whoever is free.

03 / Vision

The world's most trusted publishing
and author growth company.

To become the world’s most trusted publishing and author growth company, empowering authors to transform their ideas into impactful books, build powerful personal brands, connect with global audiences, and create lasting legacies. Through innovation, publishing excellence, strategic book marketing, and author branding, we aim to redefine how authors bring their stories to the world and achieve long-term success.

“
A book only gets one first impression. Our job
is to make sure it's the one the author intended.
