Acanthus Publishing
Creating Career Advancing Publications for Experts

Acanthus Publishing approach offers you a third party solution so that your book does not have the taint of "vanity publishing," while allowing you to maintain control of the manuscript, layout, and design of your book, as well as the distribution and marketing of the finished title.
Acanthus works with authors seeking to publish on topics relating to business, professional development, self-help, and other nonfiction specialty areas. We do not publish fiction, children's works, or biography at this time.
We will work with you to create and produce articles, chapters, newsletters, workbooks, or complete texts. We can also help you create audio and video or Internet-based electronic products to expand beyond your print offerings.
We collaborate with you in furtherance of your professional objectives to help you advance your business, consulting, training, or coaching practice or professional speaking career. You can delegate as much or as little of the creation and production process to us as suits your schedule and interest.
Publishing with Acanthus allows you to remain in the driver's seat and publish the content you intend, in the format you choose, with the look you envision, and in the timeframe you define.

Once your manuscript is finalized, our graphics design department can help you lay out the manuscript in book format to the printer's specifications, design cover art, and create or acquire appropriate illustrations.
