SandStarr Publications was founded by a group of authors who wanted to help other writers get their work noticed. This talented group of authors worked with established business professionals in 2006, forming the print-on-demand publishing company that is now known as SandStarr Publications.
With each year that passes, the book industry is changing in a way that makes it easier for writers to become published authors. More and more writers are investing in their dreams so that those dreams can become a reality. Even though the term "independent author" suggests that an author has to work on his or her own, we think that it is best for an author to have a support system. Many publishing companies will print up an author's books and send the author a royalty check whenever one is deserved, but that is where support ends.
We are proud to state that we are here for our authors - no matter what. Bestselling figures don't come into play when it comes to the treatment of our writers. Our website will always have a section dedicated to offering tips for aspiring authors. Our representatives are always on hand to answer questions that you might have. We strive to treat our writers with the utmost care because without them, we would not exist.

There are many different publishing companies out there. We are aware of that. Our mission is not to sell you on our services. Just because a certain publishing company is right for you doesn't mean that the same publishing company is right for the next author. We advise all writers/authors to do thorough research prior to choosing a publishing company to go with. After all, this is your life's work we're talking about, and that shouldn't be taken lightly. We may not be the best fit for every writer; however, we are confident in our ability and capability to handle your dreams with care. You have a story to tell, and we want to help tell it...to the world.
For those authors who don't require a publisher, we also offer copyediting, website design, and marketing services. If you have an interest in these services, first view the Services Offered section of our site. Then, you can use the form provided on the Contact Page and one of our representatives will be more than happy to provide you with an official quote and estimated date of completion for your project.
