InsideOut Press
Do You Have a Book in You?
Have you ever thought about writing a book, or have others encouraged you to? You’re not alone. Many people dream of becoming an author, and for good reason—being an author places you as an authority in your field. And that’s a powerful position to be in.
But writing a book is only the beginning. The real challenge begins when you realize that there’s much more to publishing than simply putting words on a page. The old model—submitting your manuscript to a major publisher and getting picked up—is no longer the norm.
Today’s publishing landscape is highly selective, and even if you land a traditional publishing deal, you’ll likely lose creative control and earn very little from each book sold. In fact, as of January 2023, 300 million self-published books are sold each year, with self-publishing growing by 264% since 2017 (according to Nicholas Rizzo at WordsRated).
That’s where InsideOut Press comes in. We help you navigate the complexities of self-publishing, so you can take full control of your book and your career as an author.
Self-Publishing Made Simple
Are you wondering:
- How do I organize my book so it flows naturally?
- How do I find and select the right editor?
- What makes a great book cover, and how do I design one?
- How do I format my manuscript to look like a professional book?
- What should go on the back cover and the copyright page?
- What’s the best way to market and sell my book?
- Should I print my books or use print-on-demand services?
- Do I need a website and a plan for book tours?
At InsideOut Press, we simplify the process. Our team of experts can guide you step-by-step through your publishing journey, whether
you need full support or just help with specific areas. We offer consultation, referrals, and full-service packages, so you can move
from aspiring author to published authority.
Writers Group
If you’re in the early stages of writing or just need a little motivation, consider joining our Writers Group. This supportive community meets on the last Monday of each month from 7:00–9:00 PM CST.
In our Writers Group, you’ll learn how to craft a book that aligns with industry standards—so your work is read by more than just family and friends. Plus, you’ll receive guidance on critical elements like:
Research
Research is used to fill the gaps in your knowledge of the topic, learn what others have already said in order to embolden your unique voice in the field, and to determine the physical characteristics of books similar to yours. You don’t want to stand out as a self-publishing author; you want to fit in. What section of the library or bookstore would you find similar books in? What are the physical dimensions of the books, number of pages, types of covers, etc.? How is your work different from the work of others in your same category? Research is easy when you know what to do and where to look.

Interior Design
Most new writers are unaware of this piece of the process, despite it being the heart of what you’re selling. There are professionals who work to make the inside of your book comply with industry standards. This includes chapter titles, subheadings, font that aligns with the cover font, margins, page numbers, illustrations, and Library of Congress blocks. Beyond standards are the style choices that give your pages a fitting personality. Leave that to us.
