McCracken Book Company is an independent book publisher founded by Marisa McCracken. Our approach to publishing is different from hybrid or traditional publishers. We assist authors in every step of the process from writing to marketing. Unlike most publishing companies we help authors build their platforms and backlist rather than expecting them to figure it out themselves. We do not give advances, and we do not charge for publishing services for authors under a publishing contract with us. We also offer affordable services to new and established self published authors who do not require publishing services. Most of our paid services allow for flexible payment plans to make them more accessible to lower income authors. Our goal is to help all authors build successful careers.
