Our Publishing Packages
As a pioneer in the independent book publishing industry, Trafford continues to work tirelessly at providing better service and producing superior book quality. Inspired by authors’ needs and feedback, we offer a formidable set of four top-notch publishing packages for authors to choose from.
The Trafford Publishing Gold Seal
Authors who take advantage of Trafford’s Gold Seal Opportunity get their books externally critiqued by highly respected book reviewers in the industry such as Kirkus, ForeWord Clarion, and the US Review of Books. Trafford books with positive reviews are rewarded with that much-coveted stamp of excellence.
“I very much appreciated the well-organized and efficient pattern of guidance from Trafford staff as we moved through the manuscript preparation and publication process. I was attracted by the way in which I was not forced into a cookie-cutter format but was able to make my own editorial decisions…I have already recommended Trafford to other authors.”
