Publication with Kennedy Publishing Services is simple.

We take it from there and create your book.
When your book is ready you will receive an Author Review PDF. If you want to make changes to your book Change fees will apply. Once you're happy with your PDF you can order your book. Order as little or as many as you would like.
Also your book can be made available for sale directly from Kennedy Publishings online bookstore. As orders are received, your book is printed using advanced full color print-on-demand technology in quantities as low as a single copy and shipped out within twelve business days. You determine the price of your book and keep all the royalties. In addition our logo can be removed from the book and you can add your own publishing title.
Once you have placed your order, communication between authors and our publishing consultant is done vie email, this is in order to keep our prices low. Certainly if you have general questions you can contact our main number but all consultation work is done through email.
