Book publishing services for authors who refuse to look self-published.
Ghostwriting, editing, covers, formatting, translation, marketing, and audiobooks, handled by a real publishing team. Most work delivered in 3 business days to 2 weeks, not the months other houses make you wait.

Your book, published everywhere readers buy
A few of the books we've brought to life.
Readers judge your book before they read a single word.
A brilliant manuscript wrapped in an amateur cover, clumsy formatting, and uneven editing gets treated like an amateur book. Reviewers skim past it. Bookstores will not stock it. Readers click away in seconds. The work that took you years to write loses to books that read worse but simply look the part.
You do not have a writing problem. You have a presentation problem, and it is quietly costing you readers, royalties, and the authority a published author is supposed to command. We fix the part of publishing that decides whether your book gets taken seriously.
Seven book publishing services. One house that owns the whole result.
Choose a single service or hand us the entire book. Every price is right here on the page, because you deserve to know what publishing costs before you ever book a call.
Ghostwriting
No manuscript yet? We write your full book from your idea, outline, or notes, in your voice. Completely confidential, and you are the only author on the cover.
Book Editing
Line editing, copyediting, and proofreading up to 90,000 words. You get back a clean Google Doc, pre-formatted to book size and ready to publish. Delivered in 3 business days.
Book Cover Design
Three distinct cover concepts designed from your brief or summary, all pre-formatted to book size. The cover that makes a stranger pick up your book. Delivered in 3 business days.
Book Translation
English to Spanish or Spanish to English, with full line editing, copyediting, and proofreading included, up to 90,000 words. Reach a whole new market. Delivered print-ready.
Book Formatting
E-book from $450, e-book and print bundle for $690, or premium complex layouts for cookbooks, textbooks, and illustrated books at $2,100. Delivered in 7 days.
Book Marketing
Social media creatives, animated book videos, paid advertising, and a dedicated author landing page. Everything built to actually move copies, not just look busy.
Audiobook
Your book produced as a professional audiobook so you earn from the fastest growing format in publishing. Delivered in 14 days.

Authors who stopped looking self-published.
“I've published two books with Barker, in both English and Spanish, and my experience has been wonderful. My books are now available worldwide, everything was delivered on time, and the translations are flawless.”
Excellent service. They helped me publish my book 500 Anécdotas del América as quickly as possible, and in its entirety.
Héctor HernándezAuthor, 500 Anécdotas del América
This is the second time I've trusted Barker to publish my novels, and both experiences have been very rewarding. Generous, well-prepared, and always willing to help new writers.

Excellent editor. He was fully committed to bringing the edition of my novel to life. A great job.
