Become an Award-Winning Author & Get Exposure for YOUR Book
Foreword magazine's INDIES Book Awards were established to bring increased attention from librarians and booksellers to the literary achievements of independent authors. The INDIES are distinguished by an intense judging process utilizing professional editors, booksellers, and librarians. The final judging process sees each book evaluated by a librarian and a bookseller-the decision makers for millions of book buys each year. They carefully appraise finalist titles using the following criteria: editorial excellence, professional production, originality of the narrative, and the value the book adds to its genre.

Testimonials
Authors who've published with Kingswell Press share their experience, from manuscript development and cover design to international book distribution and marketing.
I came in with a half-finished memoir and walked out with a polished book, an ISBN, and global distribution. The marketing plan turned a quiet launch into a real reader base.
I've worked with two other publishers before. The difference here is the structure, clear timelines, real human support, and zero surprises on rights. I kept everything and still got the full-service treatment.
