What started as a one-author publishing company is about to get much bigger.

We are an independent book publishing company dedicated to author success. We are not a vanity press or subsidy press where you are the customer. We will never charge fees or require book purchases. Our success is married to your success: profits come from selling books to eager readers, not from your wallet.

Our Vision

Modern technology has never made publishing a novel easier. But that doesn’t mean the process is easy. New authors who independently publish quickly learn that writing the novel is the easiest part of their journey. Then comes book cover design, finding a good editor, formatting for digital and print, and marketing to prospective readers. It’s a lot of long hours, trial and error, and a steep learning curve. Some authors accept that challenge. Others begin wondering if there is a better way.

Enter Warrington Publishing.

Our Services

Today’s publishing landscape is ever-changing. Small press publishers are emerging as enticing alternatives to traditional publishing, self-publishing, and vanity presses. By offering a combination of services, including professional editing, cover design, and non-traditional business models, they empower authors to bring their first novel to readers.

Independent publishing is rewarding but a lot of work. Traditional publishing means ceding control over the creative process. Is there a solution that helps authors bring their work to the world while preserving their creative vision and goals?

Warrington Publishing seeks to bridge the gap between traditional publishers and self-publishing. Authors maintain ownership of their work while leveraging our team of cover designers and editors. Marketing becomes a joint effort to maximize readership.

Best of all, authors benefit from a higher revenue share than most small presses offer.
