Self-Publishing
We seek authors who value the importance of sustaining the health of the earth while publishing their works. Contact us to discuss self-publishing your books, guides, business cards, flyers, etc. using 100% recycled paper. Once published, your books, in both print and digital form, may be purchased directly through our bookstore here at TreelyGreenPublishing.com, as well as at Amazon.
Every part of our relationship with authors is customized according to your needs and your projects. We believe that as an author, your time should be spent writing and developing your ideas, not worrying over the publishing process. Therefore, we extend our white glove treatment to all authors, which means you can simply email us with the details of your project along with your contact information. We will then respond with an email suggesting a telephone meeting time if your project meets our criteria for publishing. From there we will discuss book pricing and our author’s packages for publishing as well as all details of our publishing process.
We plant a tree for each book title you publish with us, through this group: https://www.arborday.org/
In addition to using only 100% recycled paper, we will continue to explore other types of eco-friendly paper such hemp or wheat paper, as these increasingly come onto the green market.

Digital Books
In addition to print books and other paper products, we offer e-books in all author packages. Authors receive 50% of their digital sales. We assist in setting a reasonable price for your digital books.
Author Pages and Speaker’s Bureau
We host author pages for each of our authors, so we can get the word out about your books, study groups, and speaking engagements. We offer and manage an Author’s Speaker’s Bureau so that the public can contact us to engage our authors for presentations and workshops.
Author Royalties and Details of Our Self-Publishing Process
Author royalties are largely determined by your book’s pricing. After meeting with you and gathering all the relevant details on your project, we will advise you on pricing for your book, and inform you of author royalties according to your specific project.
We also offer marketing services and printing of author marketing materials including business cards, bookmarks with your branding on it, brochures, etc.
Royalties from your printed books vary according to the pricing of your book. We will work with you in pricing your printed book to achieve 12% - 20% royalties for you where possible, beyond initial fees for preparing your book. We reserve the right to set all final book pricing. Once the books parameters are set, and pricing for the print version determined, the royalty percentage to you will also be determined. We do not use complicated formulas for determining royalties for printed books, as do many self-publishers.
We welcome proposals from all interested authors for self-publishing. We accept proposals from all primary genres. We also print personal books in small numbers for giving to friends. We reserve the right to reject any book when we deem its subject or quality not to match our standards for publishing.
We accept book manuscripts that have completed the proofreading stage and are ready for layout and design, as well as those that need editing and proofreading prior to book production. We have a team of world class graphic designers and editors who can work with you to create the book you envision.
We distribute your printed books in our store on this website as well as through Amazon. At the same time, we distribute both your print and related eBooks, again through Amazon. We pay authors 50% of the digital sale price as royalties.
