All Blythe Press titles are published in paperback and ebook as standard. Limited edition hardcovers are considered for select titles based on performance.
Blythe Press does not charge authors for editing, formatting, or marketing. These are costs we absorb as your publisher because we are invested in the success of every title we take on.
We do ask our authors to make a one time contribution toward cover design and print setup, as we work exclusively with professional freelance designers to ensure every title meets the highest standard of presentation. This is a production contribution, not a publishing fee.

Our titles are available through major online retailers including Amazon, Booktopia, and can be ordered through most physical bookstores.
