How it works
You do two things — submit, and approve. We do everything in between, and keep you posted at every step. Most books are published in just 1–2 weeks.
The author's path
Publishing is full of hidden steps — file conversions, metadata, categories, ISBNs, store onboarding. We absorb all of it. You stay focused on the scholarship; we turn it into a book that's live and earning.
Start your bookRegister, choose your track, upload your book or materials, fill in a short metadata form, and e-sign our non-exclusive agreement. No payment yet.
Our team reviews your materials and sends a proposed outline for your book. You review it in your account — this is your chance to shape the direction.
Happy with the outline? Approve it and pay your service fees — and you don't pay a cent until you've seen the plan for your book.
We translate or write, edit, illustrate, design a cover, and format your book for publication — then send you a proof.
Review your proof and approve it. On approval we publish under the Global Scholar Press imprint with a registered ISBN, to 400+ stores and libraries worldwide.
Live store links appear in your account. Royalties accrue per book and we pay them out quarterly — and you can order printed author copies any time.
Always in the loop
A clear, plain-language timeline shows exactly where your book is — and you can message our team about your title at any time.

The honest part
One-time fees for translation or writing, and $99 a year for the publishing service that keeps your book live. We take no cut of your sales — royalties the stores pay are collected under our imprint and remitted to you by PayPal each quarter (once your balance reaches $25; smaller balances roll over).
