Award-Winning Editorial
and Design Services

Publishing is a team effort, and Nautilus Press has assembled one of the best teams in the business. Our editors have worked with people such as best-selling writers David Guterson and Yann Martel; Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward Humes; literary authors William F. Buckley Jr., Joyce Carol Oates, and Thomas H. Cook; and artists Edward Gorey and Ralph Steadman. Our designers have created best-selling jackets and covers and have won awards from BookBuilders West, AIGA, and other organizations.

Many published authors complain that their mainstream publishers ignore them, don’t return their phone calls, don’t consult them, and don’t do much of anything to market or sell their books.

At Nautilus, we believe in a hands-on, collaborative, and supportive working relationship with our authors. Our editors will not only polish and improve your manuscript but they will also advise, coach, and occasionally give you a gentle push toward achieving your goals and getting the best return on your time and money.

Not only will you become a better writer, you will learn how publishing works every step of the way. And we always take your phone calls.
