Mermaid Cove Publishing

It all begins with a thought or idea. The perfect character, plot or scene. Maybe you want to turn that idea into something more. Or you just want to tell your own story. Wherever your creative flow has taken you, we can help you achieve your dreams.

  • Our aim is the same as yours.  A book you will be proud of. As your partner in publishing, we will help you to achieve this goal. We will guide you through the sea of book creation while providing you with high-quality and affordable services.

    Mermaid Cove Publishing is not a traditional publisher or a vanity press, but an independent hybrid publisher.   As an independent hybrid publisher, we apprise ourselves as the “other” way for authors, proudly offering the alternative in a fast-changing publishing scene. Learn more about Hybrid Publishers here.

    We partner with authors offering them a full range of professional publishing services while allowing authors to retain copyright, intellectual, and creative control over their work. We personally walk with you through the steps of publishing your book, making sure your book has the attention it deserves. The publishing process can be intimidating but, in the end, we KNOW you’ll have a great book you (and we) can be proud of.

  • Our aim is the same as yours – a book you will be proud of.  We know every situation, book, and author will have different needs, so we customize a publishing package and contract unique to every author we vet. To offset any upfront investment by authors, as independent hybrid publishers we offer a higher royalty rate than traditional publishers. Learn about publishing your book with us here.
