Welcome to Smooth Sailing Press...
Smooth Sailing Press fills a very unique niche in the publishing industry in that we are both a "traditional" publishing house and a "vanity" publisher.
Like any other traditional publisher, authors that are desiring to sell their manuscript may submit a proposal or a completed manuscript by following the guidelines on our submissions page. A standard publishing contract will be presented to authors who's books are selected for publication.
For authors who choose to retain their copyright, Smooth Sailing Press offers vanity publishing services that are unequaled in the publishing industry. These authors have the choice of publishing under the name of Smooth Sailing Press or Tadpole Press...4 Kids (our children's division) or under Blue Crab Press Epicurean (our publishing arm for cookbooks and books for the home) or we can publish your book in your name alone. We offer a unique menu of services for the self-published author desiring short-run printing in paperback and hardcover as well as full color children’s publishing.
We are aware that there are many publishing opportunities for authors like you. However, as you have found, there are very few that offer the assistance and expertise found at Smooth Sailing Press at such an affordable price. With so many options and services to choose from, you can now publish your book within your budget and make your dream a reality!
Let Smooth Sailing Press help navigate you toward your goal of being a published author! We look forward to hearing from you.
