Writing a book is hard. Publishing it should not be. American Book Express is a book publishing company that guides authors through every step, from the first draft to a finished book that is ready for readers.
Whether this is your first book or your tenth, our team gives you clear advice, honest timelines and professional support at each stage.
Many authors know what they want to say but are unsure what to do next. Should you hire an editor first? How do you design a cover that sells? Where will your book be sold, and how will readers find it?
As a self publishing company, we help you answer these questions in plain language. We begin by learning about your book, your goals and your budget. Then we build a clear plan around you, instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all package.
Our book publishing services cover everything your book needs: editing, design, formatting, publishing, distribution and promotion. You can choose the services you need, or let us manage the whole process. Either way, you stay in charge of your book.
We offer book publishing services for authors at every stage of the journey. Each service can be ordered on its own or combined into a complete publishing plan.
Our professional book publishing service takes your finished manuscript and turns it into a polished book. We handle ISBN setup, interior layout, book formatting, and print and ebook publishing, so your book looks and reads like it came from a traditional publisher.

We are proud of the trust authors place in us. Here is some of the feedback we have received.

My experience is two-fold, from bad to extremely good. Two United nitwits first published my book without consulting me. It was full of errors. It all changed when Jeffrey Collins, Author Success Manager, took charge of my account. He is a master of his trade, and American Book Express Company successfully republished my book. I have self-published eight other books with various companies, but United gets the gold.

I couldnât be any happier with my publishing experience with American Book Express! From the moment I started working with them, I felt like my story truly mattered. Their attention to detail and commitment to perfection was evident in every step of the process, from refining my content to expertly publishing on multiple platforms. Aron and his team took the time to understand my vision, and the results were beyond my expectations. Choosing them was the best decision I couldâve made for my book!
If youâre looking for a publishing partner thatâs professional, reliable, and genuinely invested in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend American Book Express. You wonât be disappointed!

First, American Book Express has the very best book cover design prices that I could find. 2nd, they are very caring and attentive. My first conversation was with Aron Parker, Chief Publishing Officer, who was lovely. Later, I was dealing with Sr. Consultant, Jordan Marshall, who was just as nice as he could be, listening to me, making suggestions, and faithfully reporting what I wanted to the artist.The end result was a seriously beautiful book cover that conveys the spirit of the book and the meaning of the contents. Great experience!

I'm an 80 year old, first time publisher, Investigating all the claims of book publishers, including self publishing led me to American Book Express.
When I mentioned that I was hosting my book through the Non-Profit foundation, Global Prefab Systems Foundation, they were quick to advise that there was an additional $100 discount for Non-Profit organizations.
That individual was Mike Amiri. What started out as a professional business relationship, has evolved into a personal friendship, that I now feel deeply connected to Mike.

I especially liked the UBP people I worked with. They have been helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and resilient. The book was very complex and challenging to edit and publish. Areas of suggested improvement are professional editing, communications (mutual understanding, timely, and consistent). I am well pleased with the completed project.

Many authors choose independent book publishers and author publishing services because they want to move faster and make their own creative decisions.
