Stein & Day is an independent book publishing company that helps authors write, edit, publish and market their books. Every project is quoted in writing, every file is yours to keep, and nobody on our team will promise you a bestseller.
Editions we prepare: Paperback • Hardcover • eBook • Audiobook • Large print
An independent publishing company with an author-first approach. Every book starts with one page.
The original Stein & Day was a New York publishing house from 1962 to 1989. We are a newer, independent company that chose the name for what it stood for. We are not the original house, and we say so plainly.
From your first draft to a finished book: writing, editing, cover design, formatting, audiobook production and distribution. You pick the pieces you need, and we quote only those.
eBooks, audiobooks, print on demand and online retail have changed how books reach readers. We set your book up for all of it, with the accounts and rights in your name.
From concept and character development to illustrations and formatting, we shape engaging stories that delight young readers and parents alike.
Complete editorial, cover design, interior layout, and global distribution. Your work is guided with care every step of the way.

From manuscript review to worldwide distribution on Kindle and print, Stein & Day executed every step transparently.
Their honest consultation and clear pricing made publishing my book stress-free. Authors truly retain 100% of their royalties.
Publishing is built on mutual trust. Here is our straightforward pledge to every author before a single dollar changes hands.
Every single service, timeline, and deliverable is clearly priced in writing before you start. No unexpected surprise fees.
Your copyright, production files, publisher accounts, and 100% of your royalties stay solely in your name.
We recommend only the services your manuscript truly requires, and openly advise you on what you can skip.
Clear, direct metrics on marketing reach, retail clicks, and ad performance—including an honest assessment of what didn't work.
Nobody on our team will ever promise an artificial bestseller ranking, guaranteed unit sales, or paid media placements.
We never claim a percentage of your book royalties or retain ownership of your ISBN, manuscript, or final print files.
We never quote an attractive base price only to demand costly hidden "file release" or formatting upgrade fees later.
No long-term exclusive handcuffs or automatic renewals. You are always free to walk away or switch distributors anytime.
