Your Research.
Your Book.
Our Imprint.

Greylander Press accepts nonfiction submissions from authors who have completed substantive research in their field. We are not a vanity press. We publish work that earns the GP imprint.

Authors who complete the full NF Book Engine workflow through SLR Studio are invited to submit to Greylander Press at the conclusion of their manuscript development. The research you built there becomes the foundation we publish here.

We handle ISBN assignment, cover development, KDP print and ebook formatting, and ACX audiobook placement. You keep your rights. We provide the infrastructure and the imprint.

SLR Studio Partnership

"You already did the research. We'll help you turn it into a book, and we'll publish it."

Nobody Buys Their Way Onto This List

There is no fee to submit and no fee to be accepted. We decide whether to publish a manuscript on the manuscript, before cost is ever discussed, and we say no often.

Editorial work, cover development, interior formatting, KDP print and ebook setup and distribution are ours to do, and we do not bill for any of them.

The only money that ever changes hands is money we have already been charged. The ISBN, and ACX production if you want an audiobook, are passed on at exactly what they cost us. We do not mark them up and we do not take a margin on them. Everything else we used to charge for is work our own tooling now does, which is why it no longer appears here.

Submitting is free and so is our review. We read the manuscript and decide on it. If your work is not a fit for GP, we will tell you clearly and without obligation.

Before submitting, consider running your manuscript through The Gauntlet or commissioning an Honest Book Review. Both give you an honest diagnostic before you commit, and neither is a condition of being published.
