Affordable, credible Hybrid Publishing
Finally — a publishing partner you can trust.
If you’ve ever Googled “book publishing help” or visited r/selfpublish, you’ve probably seen the horror stories.
Authors charged thousands by “vanity publishers” who promise the world — then disappear once your book is printed, or even worse, as soon as the contract is signed. Hidden fees. Lost royalties. Poor design. No marketing support.
At Stacks Publishing, we’re rewriting the story.
We offer affordable, transparent hybrid publishing that combines professional expertise with author empowerment: so you keep control of your rights, royalties, and creative vision while gaining the strategic, done-for-you support of a credible publishing house.
