A publishing house that keeps authors in charge
Barnes and Noble Publication brings writers, editors, designers, narrators and marketers together under one roof, so authors get the support of a publishing house without giving up ownership of their work.
Our story
Why we started Barnes and Noble Publication
Too many authors finish a manuscript and then get lost in a maze of freelancers, platforms and technical requirements. Others sign away their rights just to get help. We built Barnes and Noble Publication to offer a better path: professional publishing services where the author keeps the rights, the royalties and the final say.
Based in New York, we work with authors across the United States on fiction, memoir, business books, self-help and children’s books.
How we work
One team, one project manager, one clear plan
Every author is paired with a project manager who coordinates the whole team and keeps you informed at each stage. You see drafts, proofs and designs before anything moves forward, and you always know what comes next and what it costs.
Because writing, editing, design, publishing and marketing all happen in one place, nothing falls between vendors and your book keeps moving.
Our promise

Author reviews
What our authors say about working with us
I came in with a messy draft and a lot of doubts. The team walked me through every stage, the edits were thoughtful, and the cover was better than anything I had imagined. Holding the printed copy was a proud moment.
What I valued most was the communication. I always knew what was happening next and what it would cost. My eBook and paperback went live on schedule and looked completely professional.
Our children’s book needed illustrations that felt warm and playful. The illustrator nailed our characters on the first round of sketches and the final pages are beautiful.
The marketing plan was realistic and clear. They focused on the readers who actually buy books like mine instead of throwing money everywhere, and the monthly reports were easy to follow.
