What kind of publisher is Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™?

Morgan Pierce Media & Publishing™ is a proud imprint of Morgan Media & Publishing, LLC, giving us the flexibility of an independent publisher with the strength of a larger media company behind it. We’re a unique blend in the publishing world. Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™ isn’t a traditional publisher, and we’re not a self-publishing platform either. We operate as an independent, hybrid publisher, offering a middle ground that gives authors more creative control and ownership — including 100% of their royalties — while still providing the professional support and services you’d expect from a traditional publishing house.

In today’s rapidly evolving publishing landscape, we’re proud to offer a trusted alternative that combines the best of both worlds.

At Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, we offer everything you need to take your manuscript from a finished draft to a professionally published book — all in one place.

We’re what you might call a one-stop shop for authors. Instead of hiring a separate editor, cover designer, formatter, and marketing consultant, we bring all of those services together under one roof. That way, you can stay focused on what you do best — writing — while we handle the rest.

Our team provides full-service support for:

• Professional editing and proofreading
• Custom book cover and interior design
• Formatting for print and digital platforms
• Copyright registration and ISBN assignment
• Distribution to major retailers
• PR & Marketing guidance and launch promotion
• Optional social media and PR services
• Author branding and support materials

Once your book is published, we don’t just walk away. We help guide you through the promotional process with social media tools, a custom author page, and additional PR resources to help you succeed — without the guesswork.

When you partner with us, you get more than just publishing help. You get a dedicated team invested in your success, every step of the way.

Never! You completely and entirely own the rights to your book. You have full ownership of your work.

No, we are not a vanity press.

Unlike vanity publishers — who typically take ownership of an author’s work and control the rights — Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™ ensures that you retain full ownership and rights to your book. You maintain creative control, keep 100% of your royalties, and your name stays on the work where it belongs.

We’re here to empower authors, not take over their stories.

Who keeps the royalties from my book sales?
You do — 100%. Always.

At Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, we don’t take a percentage of your royalties. The only fees you pay are for the services included in your chosen publishing package. Once your book is published, all revenue from book sales is yours.

For the first 90 days after launch, we manage the royalty reporting and tracking for you to help ensure a smooth start. After that, you have two options:

1. Manage royalties yourself — We’ll assist you in setting up your own IngramSpark, Amazon KDP, and/or Barnes & Noble Press accounts, so you have full access to sales and earnings directly. You’ll receive payments and reports from the platforms themselves.
2. Let us manage royalties for you — If you prefer a hands-off approach, we can continue to manage your royalty tracking, reporting, and payments for a flat fee of $35/month. You’ll receive detailed monthly reports and prompt payments from us, with no hassle on your end.

Either way, you remain in control of your book and earnings. We’re simply here to support you in the way that works best for your publishing goals.

Yes. We will send you ten copies of your book for your private use and distribution to friends and family. Additional copies can be ordered via Ingram Spark at author pricing (basically the cost of printing the book).

Yes, we publish in all formats: hardcover, paperback, and eBook.

Yes, we do.

At Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, we work with experienced, professional ghostwriters who collaborate closely with you to bring your story to life. Your input is welcomed throughout the process — from initial interviews to final drafts — ensuring the final manuscript reflects your voice, vision, and goals.

We focus on crafting high-quality, engaging content tailored to your target audience. Whether you’re writing fiction, a memoir, or a technical guide, our team can support you every step of the way.

Ghostwriting rates vary by project type:

• Fiction: $0.30 per word
• Non-fiction (Memoir, Autobiography, Biography): $0.40 per word
• Business or Technical Books: $0.50 per word

For full details on the ghostwriting process, what’s included, and how to get started, please visit our Services page.

Yes, we do — on an independent basis.

We’re happy to work with authors who have previously published their book, as long as the book is not under contract with another publisher and the author retains full rights to the content.

To republish through Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, a few important steps are required:

• The author must hold complete ownership of the manuscript
• A new ISBN will need to be issued under our publishing imprint
• Any existing book files (interior and cover) must be reformatted to meet IngramSpark submission requirements

If you’re unsure about your rights or need help reviewing your current publishing status, feel free to contact us. We’re happy to walk you through the process.

Once you’ve selected your publishing package, a dedicated team member from Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™ will work closely with you to guide every step of the publishing and marketing process.

We begin by gathering everything we need to bring your book to life — including your manuscript, author photo, illustrations, artwork, and any other supporting materials. If something isn’t in place yet, don’t worry. Our team will help create or source it with you.

What’s Included:

1. Full-Service Editing
We offer multiple levels of editing to ensure your manuscript is refined, professional, and publication-ready:

• Developmental Editing: Focuses on big-picture storytelling — character development, plot structure, pacing, scene setting, and continuity.
• Copyediting: Catches inconsistencies, grammar issues, and structural errors.
• Line Editing: Refines sentence structure, tone, syntax, and flow for clarity and style.
• Proofreading: A final polish to ensure your manuscript is clean and error-free.

Your input is welcome at every stage. We never make major content changes without first discussing them with you in detail.

2. Custom Book Design
We’ll handle your interior layout and cover design — with your input and full approval. Nothing is published without your sign-off.

3. Author Branding & PR Support
We include a 90-day launch publicity window, which may involve:

• • Author branding and positioning
  • Social media strategy
  • Press releases and initial PR outreach

After the 90-day launch period, you have the option to continue PR services independently.

4. Royalties & Reporting
You keep 100% of your royalties — always.
During the first 90 days, we’ll help manage your royalty tracking. After that, you can either:

• Take full control via your own IngramSpark account
• Or opt for our ongoing royalty management service for $35/month, which includes monthly sales reports and direct payments to you

5. Transparent Pricing — No Hidden Fees
Unlike many publishing services that charge based on book size, design specs, or hidden extras, our pricing is clear and fixed. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting — and what it costs — from day one.

In short, we make publishing simple, supportive, and professional — without surprises.

At Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, your book is distributed exclusively through IngramSpark, which makes it available to a global network of over 39,000 retailers, libraries, and distributors. This includes major outlets such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Goodreads, and thousands of independent bookstores worldwide.

Promotional Support Includes:

For the first 90 days after publication, we provide targeted launch support to help maximize your visibility as an author. This includes:

• PR outreach (e.g., podcast and interview opportunities)
• A custom author page
• Online news releases and search engine optimization (SEO)
• Listing your book with online retailers and industry trade directories
• Outreach to local, regional, and national bookstores and libraries
• Inclusion in Google Book Search

After the 90-day launch period, you may continue promoting your book independently or choose to extend PR support through one of our optional custom marketing plans.

Our goal is to help you publish confidently and launch with impact — giving your book and your brand the attention they deserve.

A completed manuscript typed in almost any digital format is preferable. We accept PDFs, Microsoft Word, or other text editor program files. 

Our typical publishing timeline ranges from 5 to 8 months, depending on the complexity of your project and your responsiveness throughout the process. While we allow a maximum timeline of 8 to 10 months, most authors see their books (other than ghostwriting projects) available through major print and online channels well before that.

Once your manuscript is accepted, it will be placed in our production queue. Within two weeks of acceptance, you’ll be assigned a dedicated publishing assistant who will guide you through each step — from editing and design to final approval and distribution.

Plagiarism

While we make every effort to detect and discourage plagiarism, it is ultimately the author’s responsibility to properly cite and reference all sources used in their manuscript. Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™ is not liable for any failure by the author to disclose or correctly attribute source material.

Typos and Errors

Our editorial process includes multiple rounds of editing, proofreading, and a final proof review that requires the author’s approval before printing. However, despite these best efforts, minor errors or typos may occasionally go undetected. Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™ cannot be held responsible for any errors found after the book has gone to print.

General Disclaimer

At Morgan Media & Publishing LLC™, we work diligently to ensure the content published under our imprint is accurate and professionally presented. However, we do not assume responsibility for factual errors, omissions, or inconsistencies within a manuscript.
