L & L Publishers is a modern day; state-of-the-art publishing house that accepts your proposal and allows you to submit your manuscript to us, and in as little as 8 – 12 weeks we help you to turn it into an actual book.

You retain full copyright of your book as well as control the content, marketing plan as well as the appearance of your book such as the design of your cover – this is all up to you!

This most innovative style of publishing is made possible by interacting with us through the use of the internet (via Email, MSN and PayPal too) regardless of where you live in the world.

Self-publishing can be over-whelming to put it simply, and your typical conventional publisher may completely reject or turn your manuscript away. This would explain why so many great manuscripts are collecting dust.

So dust off your manuscript and let us fulfill your lifelong publishing dream!

We offer:

The Platinum Publishing Package $2500 USD

As creative professionals in the book publishing industry, we only use the very best software to date - Adobe InDesign CS2 to professionally design layouts with sophisticated graphics to complete your entire book!  

We store your manuscript on our computer system in the form of a digital file (library cataloging) so that one book is printed off at a time to fulfill, for example, an online order that has come in from Amazon.com – likewise, hundreds of copies can also be printed off as giveaways to family, friends and for book signings etc. 

We print and distribute your book through Lightning Source Inc. (LSI) so it will be listed with major online retailers such as Ingram (most others cannot offer this) and Baker and Taylor, Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble giving access to the largest bookselling channel in the industry.
