Barringer Publishing provides opportunities for talented writers who want their books to reach a broad, mainstream audience. Because only a small percentage of submissions are accepted by traditional publishers, many exceptional books never reach the public. Barringer Publishing helps bring these deserving works into the spotlight.

Why Barringer has a One-time Fee. 

Barringer Publishing creates a high-quality, professional product and delivers outstanding service, giving authors a clear path to bring their books to the public. Like any business that provides specialized products and services, we are paid for the time, expertise, and effort invested in each project.

​

This one-time fee model allows authors to retain the lion’s share of their royalties, offering a fair and transparent alternative to traditional publishing structures.

A hybrid publishing package is a professional partnership.

A hybrid publishing package is a professional partnership, not a transaction. In Barringer Publishing’s model, the author shares in the financial investment while the publisher provides selective acceptance and professional publishing services, mirroring the standards of a traditional press while offering greater transparency and collaboration.

Every book is customized, no two books are alike.

We do not use cover templates. Every cover is designed from scratch, and we provide as many design options as needed until the author is fully satisfied. Our fee range is listed below. If each service we provide were priced individually at the same professional level, the total cost would be significantly higher. In addition, all services are completed in-house, ensuring consistency, quality, and accountability.
