Check out what people have to say!
I was so excited to write my first children’s book, “I Love Tampa,” but had zero knowledge of the publishing end or what to expect. I met Mallory from Saxon Andrew Publishing, and she answered any and all questions I had. She helped me navigate throughout the whole process. I'm so grateful - it turned out incredible!"
SAP and Mallory's professionalism made the process smooth and enjoyable, and their genuine love for children’s literature shines through in everything they do. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!
SAP is truly passionate about what they do! They go above and beyond to help their authors and illustrators succeed. Our collaboration process has been seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a supportive, professional publishing experience.
We’re a team of authors, editors, illustrators, designers, and launch strategists helping debut authors become confident, published professionals.
Step 1: Meet & Plan

With your roadmap in place, we’ll move into creative development, bringing together the right team and guiding you through each stage to create a book that’s polished, professional, and true to your vision.

This is where your vision takes shape. Our team manages every detail, from editing and design to ISBN registration and printing, while preparing your book for marketing and distribution. You’ll receive regular updates as we bring your story to life with precision and creative care.

Your book deserves a beautiful debut. Once production is complete, we’ll guide you through launch - from preorders and marketing to sales setup and publicity - ensuring your book reaches its audience with impact. And when those first copies arrive, we’ll be right there celebrating with you!
FAQ
Indie (independent) publishing means you publish your book outside of a traditional publishing house. With Saxon Andrew Publishing, you retain full ownership of your work and the creative process while receiving professional support from Day 1.
You do. 100%. All intellectual property rights and copyrights remain with you.
Timelines vary based on the length and complexity of the book, but most projects take 3 to 6 months from Discovery Call to publication.
