In the digital age, information currency is key. Essential10 Titles can be updated as often as an author wants or needs to.

Essential10 University provides classes on getting started in writing your book for the digital age. We also offer a low-cost fee to do all conversion and formatting of your book.

4. Quality and Worth Determined by Community Review

No editorial review board. No policy for only “potential bestsellers.” Our books are rated by readers on a merit-based system.

You write it once, and we publish it to all leading digital formats including Kindle, iPhone, and eBook. We monitor the market for you and will add Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Reader, and other devices as the market develops.

Publishing packages start at just $49 with royalties at 90% of the available revenue after Apple, Amazon or other platform fees.

Illustrators, editors, copy editors, and ghostwriters are part of the Essential10 community to assist authors in creating their book.
