GET STARTED
After researching dozens of publishing services, I chose Donahue because they actually took the time to understand my book. Three years and two successful publications later, I couldn't imagine working with anyone else.
I was skeptical about working with any publisher I found online, but Donahue's patient approach and willingness to answer all my questions won me over. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and my novel has now sold over 5,000 copies.
As a first-time author in my 60s, I worried the publishing world had passed me by. Donahue not only helped me navigate the digital publishing landscape but made me feel valued and respected throughout the process and made it look so easy

We believe in complete transparency. Before you commit, you'll know exactly what services you're receiving, what they cost, and what results you can expect. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no vague promises. Just clear communication and straightforward agreements.
You maintain complete ownership of your work. Unlike traditional publishing contracts that may claim rights to your intellectual property, our model ensures you retain full creative control and copyright ownership. We're here to empower you, not own your creation.
Donahue Publishing accepts various genres, including fiction (literary, romance, mystery, science fiction, etc.), non-fiction (memoirs, biographies, self-help, history, etc.), young adult, children's books, and more.
You can send us your manuscript, preferably via email, as it is readily accessible, and the team can start working on your project. If you don’t have a strict timeline, you can send us via fax, mail, or scanned images.
Yes, if you have signed up for a Marketing Plan for your book, Donahue Publishing has a dedicated marketing and publicity department that will help promote your book. They may assist with creating a marketing plan, arranging author events, securing media coverage, and leveraging digital platforms. However, it's also important for authors to actively participate in promoting their own books and building their author brand.
Donahue Publishing values author input, and the final decision regarding cover design is often a collaborative effort between the publisher, the author, and the design team. Designers have experience in creating covers that appeal to their target audience and fit within market trends. However, authors can share their ideas and preferences, and the designer will strive to create a cover that represents the essence of the book while meeting market standards.
Royalties are a percentage of the book's sales that authors receive as compensation. All royalties go directly to the author; Donahue Publishing would never ask its authors for a percentage of their royalties.
