Our Mission
The founder of Barnes & Noble Self Publishers — a lover of books and a champion for writers' rights — recognized a widening gap between authors and their stories' destinies. Traditional publishers often required authors to hand over creative control, as well as a share of their royalties, leaving many writers disillusioned. Determined to offer a different path, Barnes & Noble Self Publishers was founded on a set of principles aimed at giving writers both freedom and recognition for their work.

I never imagined self-publishing could feel this supported. They guided me through formatting, distribution, and launch marketing without drowning me in jargon.
