What is Gatekeeper Press?

Gatekeeper Press is a premium publishing service provider for independent authors. 

Our authors and publishers earn 100% of their royalties and retain 100% of their rights. They have full control over the design and layout of their books, and they receive worldwide distribution for life with no annual fees and no caps on sales. All of our Authors receive concierge attention and support from an Author Manager, and they work one on one with the editors, designers, and formatters throughout the process.

Our priority is quality, and our quality of process, product and business model for authors is unmatched in the industry. 

How long does your process take?

This is dependent on which service(s) you sign up for and whether you've chosen our expedited option. Please see this article for a full breakdown of how long it takes to create, design, edit, publish, and update books.

Will I maintain the rights to my book?

Yes. You will retain all of the rights to your manuscript and book, including all digital and print rights.

Do you accept books with images or graphics?

Yes, and at no extra charge. Please see Cover, Images & Illustrations for information about publishing books with photos, illustrations, charts, and other graphics.

Who determines my book's price and other metadata?

You do. Authors set their book's price, description, keywords, genre, and other metadata information before publishing. (You have the ability to make changes to your metadata after publishing, too.) 

Where will you sell my book?

Gatekeeper works with all of the major eBook and print distributors (including Amazon and Barnes & Noble) as well as library wholesalers. You can see a more detailed list of our retail partners here.

Can I review my book before it's published?

Yes. Once your eBook and/or print interior has been created, you can review it and note any required changes.
