Our Story
Every Book Starts As A Conversation
We started City Book Publishers because we kept meeting people with remarkable stories and no idea how to get them onto the page — busy professionals, first-time novelists, parents writing for their children, entrepreneurs with hard-won lessons.
So we built a team that could take care of everything: ghostwriters who listen, editors who sharpen, designers who make books impossible to ignore, and publishing specialists who get them into every major store. Then we opened City Bookstore, so our authors' books could sit on real shelves and be discovered by real readers.
Today we work with authors in every genre, at every stage — from a single idea to a finished manuscript ready to launch.
What We Stand For
Four Promises We Keep
Your Book, Your Voice
We write to sound like you — not like us. Every chapter is approved by you before we move on.
Craft Over Shortcuts
Real writers, real editors, real designers. Quality is the whole point of hiring a publisher.
Honest From Page One
Clear scope, clear timelines and no surprises. You always know where your book stands.
Readers First
We think about who will read your book from the very first interview to the final cover.
