Our Services

For the Author

Here at Dumouriez Publishing we believe that by combining traditional Self-Publishing with the fast paced POD publishing we can help minimize the stress and strain on authors wanting to publish their books. We work closely with our independent contractors to ensure the highest quality products are produced.

We work with authors to keep them abreast of industry standards while helping them develop the business side of their craft. We feel our business model will keep costs to a minimum while allowing many authors to realize their dream of publishing their book.
