Soleil Book Design and Production Services

There have been many famous self-publishers in the past. Today self-publishing is a good option for many authors. For family historians, self-publishing provides access to professional design and production; for one-time authors, self-publishing offers full control of the look and budget of the project. For first-time or experienced authors, self-publishing means cutting out the middlemen and moving the project to completion on your own schedule--no large corporation to bog down the process.

These authors--and many you will never hear of because they publish for their families, friends and communities--have self-published in order to reach their audiences directly.
