Where bold writers become published authors.

If you're looking for professional help to self-publish your book, while ensuring that you keep the creative vision, legal rights, and 100% of the royalties from your book sales, you've come to the right place.

Who We Are

Paper Raven Books is a small self-publishing services team that loves great books.

We were founded in 2015, we've published 300 books, and we're setting the standards for what it means to self-publish high-quality, professional books as an independent author.

What We Offer

Manuscript Review Process

One of our senior book coaches who has expertise in your book's genre or topic reviews your full manuscript, beginning to end, and offers high-level feedback about what's working well and what will need to be revised before you publish. Our goal is to offer helpful suggestions and to make sure we're aligned with your vision for your book before we commit to a publishing project together.

Custom Publishing Packages

After a manuscript review, we put together a custom publishing package the includes the editing, cover design, interior design, and formatting so that your book will be available for sale as an ebook and a physical book in the Amazon bookstore. All of our work is fully custom, done by humans who love books, and tailored to your vision for your book. All royalties flow directly to you, never through us.

Amazon-Optimized Launch

We research the keywords, categories, and metadata that will increase your book's discoverability in the Amazon bookstore. We manage a five-day launch promotion to ensure that your book gets a boost of downloads and sales, ranks #1 in your best categories, and gathers reviews that will help your book to be introduced to the right type of new readers, going forward.

Why We're Different

We work with authors who have a vision for their books—a nonfiction book that will grow a business or start a movement, a novel that is the foundation for an author career, a memoir that is the culmination of a life lessons and wisdom.

When you work with us, you know you're working with humans, who are experts in the crafts of editing, design, and marketing, who are invested in creating your vision for your book with you, and who love books as much as you do.
