Your Message Matters.
Your Legacy Starts Here.

No. Vanity presses accept anyone with a checkbook and provide little to no editorial oversight or marketing support. Rylinn Publishing House is a curated hybrid publisher. We evaluate every manuscript and only partner with authors whose work we believe in and can bring to market effectively. We provide professional editing, design, distribution, and a marketing roadmap—not just a printed book. We're selective and say no to projects that aren't a good fit.

Self-publishing means YOU are the publisher—you find, hire, and manage every freelancer (editor, designer, formatter), navigate ISBNs and distribution, and handle every technical detail. Most authors spend 6-12 months figuring this out and often make costly mistakes. With Rylinn, you get a dedicated publishing partner who manages the entire process for you with professional-grade results. You focus on your message; we handle the production, distribution, and give you a clear roadmap for marketing.

Traditional publishers cover costs upfront because they take 85-90% of your royalties and full control of your book's rights, pricing, and creative decisions. They also reject 99% of submissions and can take 2-3 years to publish your book. Rylinn operates on a partnership model: You invest in your book's production, and in return, you earn 60% of net royalties (compared to the traditional 10-15%), retain creative control, and publish in 4-6 months. After your initial investment is recouped through book sales, you earn industry-leading royalties on every sale.

Honestly? We can't guarantee sales—no publisher can. What we CAN guarantee is a professionally produced book that gives you the best chance of success, plus a comprehensive marketing roadmap to help you build your audience. Your investment covers the tangible costs of editing, design, and distribution. The sales depend on the quality of your book, your platform, and your marketing efforts. We provide the foundation and the tools; you provide the audience-building work.

Yes, because the majority of publishing costs come AFTER the manuscript is written: professional editing, cover design, interior formatting, ISBNs, distribution setup, and your author platform. Even a "finished" manuscript typically needs copyediting and formatting to meet professional standards. Our packages ensure you get a book that looks and reads like it came from a major publisher—not a DIY project.

You can, but KDP is a printing and distribution service, not a publisher. You're still responsible for hiring editors, designers, formatters, and managing every step yourself. Most authors who "just use KDP" end up with books that look amateurish, have typos, and don't sell. Rylinn provides end-to-end professional publishing, plus guidance on how to market your book effectively.

Your book remains available for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers indefinitely. There are no ongoing fees, inventory costs, or publishing "expiration dates." Even if sales are slow initially, your book continues to generate passive income as you build your platform over time. Many authors see their sales grow significantly 1-2 years after publication as they refine their marketing and build their audience.

You could hire individual freelancers for editing, cover design, formatting, and website creation—but you'd be managing 4-6 different people, coordinating timelines, and navigating the steep learning curve of publishing logistics (ISBNs, distribution, metadata, etc.). Rylinn gives you a single point of contact and a streamlined, professional process. We've already vetted the editors and designers. We handle the technical setup. You get a curated, white-glove experience instead of project-managing chaos.

No. We are selective about the projects we take on. We partner with authors we believe in and whose work we can bring to market effectively. This curation process is what separates us from vanity publishers. If your manuscript isn't a good fit, we'll let you know honestly and may provide recommendations for next steps.
