Studio City Media Endeavors is the publishing division of a small marketing company based in the Minneapolis area, Studio City. We help authors who choose to self-publish get their book on the market quickly using print-on-demand and eBook technology. We offer a bevy of services and you can choose what you need from us. It takes a lot of know-how to design an effective book cover, format a manuscript for print and digital publication, and make it available for sale online. Not everyone has the time or desire to figure out how to do it themselves. If there are parts you feel capable of doing, that’s great! We only charge for the services you ask us to provide. The best part is, with Studio City, YOU stay in control and keep ALL the royalties from your book!

Print-On-Demand (POD)

Print-on-demand technology has changed the face of publishing ~ making self-publishing an affordable, viable option for authors. As the traditional publishing market grows tighter and more difficult to break into, self-publishing is increasing exponentially in popularity. Using our POD services, authors can produce their manuscripts as print books, have them in-hand to sell themselves, as well as sold directly to a customer via the Internet. Online and retail bookstores, libraries and other institutions, can also order your book. Take a look at our Available Titles section to see the books we’ve published and the covers we’ve designed.

eBooks

We can format your digital book and set it up to be sold through online bookstores, making it available for eReading devices like the Kindle, Nook, iPad, Sony Reader and Kobo. All accounts on these eReader platforms are in your name so that you can follow your sales and receive royalties directly from them.

Other Publishing Services

Studio City started in the graphic design and marketing business over 15 years ago. Besides book cover design, proofreading and manuscript formatting, we have the capability of helping you with a number of other services you may need such as: a web site, promotional materials, proofreading, and marketing. If you’d like a large quantity of your book printed in a traditional print run, we can provide that service, too.

Pricing

Prices really do vary depending on the project, but that’s always the first thing people want to know, so please contact us to talk about your specific project! Contact Us!
