The ABP publishing team
Traditional publishers accept a tiny share of manuscripts and keep most of the royalties. We offer another path: the same professional editing, design and distribution, while you stay the publisher of your own book.
Your name, your rights, your retailer accounts and 100% of your royalties.
Editors, designers and illustrators who have worked across every genre.
A fixed quote up front and a project manager who explains every step.

We prepare your files to each retailer's spec, set up your listings and release your book in print and ebook, in Australia and worldwide. You keep 100% of your rights and royalties.
Share your idea, notes or recordings. A professional writer interviews you and drafts the book chapter by chapter, with your approval at every stage.
Our editors strengthen structure, pacing and clarity while keeping your voice. Every edit arrives as tracked changes, so you stay in control of the final text.
A last, careful pass over your typeset pages to catch typos, spacing issues and inconsistencies before your book goes to print.
Our designers research the best-sellers in your genre and create an original cover that looks right on a shelf and as a thumbnail online.
Professional interior layout for print and ebook: chapter openings, fonts, margins, images and tables, built to each platform's requirements.
Illustrators who specialise in picture books create characters and full-page spreads in the style that suits your story and your young readers.
Choose from professional narrators, including Australian accents. We record, edit and master your audiobook to Audible and Apple Books standards.
Copies are printed only when a reader orders them, so there is no upfront print run. Order author copies any time for launches and events.
We register your ISBNs with Thorpe-Bowker, Australia's ISBN agency, create your barcode and help you meet National Library of Australia legal deposit.
A launch plan built around your genre and readers: Amazon listing optimisation, ads, social media, reviews and media outreach across Australia.
A clean, fast author website to showcase your books, collect newsletter sign-ups and link readers straight to the stores.
A dedicated project manager guides you through every chapter, and nothing moves forward without your approval.
We talk through your book, your goals and your budget, then recommend only the services you actually need.
Editors work on structure, flow and accuracy, in Australian English, with every change tracked for your approval.

I had a finished manuscript sitting in a drawer for six years. Within four months it was on Booktopia and my local Dymocks agreed to stock it.
