How We Publish
How We Publish at Burton Press International
Burton Press International follows a transparent, author-driven publishing model designed to give writers professional results—without sacrificing control or clarity.
This page explains exactly how our process works, how it differs from traditional publishing, and why many authors choose this path.
Our Publishing Model
We are an assisted-publishing and author services company, not a traditional royalty-based publisher.
That means:
- We do not acquire manuscripts
- We do not pay advances
- We do not take ownership of copyrights
- We do not control pricing, distribution, or future use of your work
Instead, we partner with authors to professionally prepare and publish their books using industry-standard platforms.
How the Process Works
1. Strategy & Planning
We begin by understanding your goals, audience, and vision. Together, we determine the best publishing approach and create a clear roadmap.
2. Editing & Refinement
Your manuscript is edited and refined to ensure it meets professional standards while preserving your voice.
3. Design & Production
We create a custom cover and interior layout that meets retailer requirements and presents your book professionally.
4. Publishing & Distribution
Your book is published on platforms such as Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, enabling global print-on-demand and ebook distribution.
5. You Retain Ownership
You own the book. Always. Royalties are paid directly to you by retailers.
