About ABP House
An Australian publishing team that works for the author.
Traditional publishers accept a tiny share of manuscripts and keep most of the royalties. We offer another path: the same professional editing, design and distribution, while you stay the publisher of your own book.
About ABP House
A publishing house that works for the author.
ABP House is an Australian team of editors, designers and book marketers. We take authors from first draft to bookshop shelf at one fixed price, and your book stays 100% yours.
Australia-wide
Wherever you write from, we work with you by phone, email and video call.
Australian English
Local editors who know the spelling, the style and the readers here.
One contact, fast replies
A single project manager who answers within 24 hours.
How we work
You stay the publisher. We do the heavy lifting.
Your name is on the ISBN record, your retailer accounts are in your name and every dollar of royalties goes straight to you.
We start with a free consultation, read a sample of your manuscript and tell you honestly what it needs and what it does not. Then you get one fixed quote in writing, before any work begins.
From there a single project manager looks after your book. Nothing moves to the next stage until you have approved the one before it.

Author stories
They wrote the book.
We did the rest.
I had a finished manuscript sitting in a drawer for six years. Within four months it was on Booktopia and my local Dymocks agreed to stock it.
They were honest about what my picture book needed and what it didn't. The illustrator nailed the characters on the first round.
I kept every right and every dollar of royalties. My project manager answered every email the same day.
The cover design stopped people in their tracks at my launch. Sold out of author copies in one evening!
From ISBN to legal deposit, everything I didn't understand was explained in plain English. Truly stress-free.
