How We Differ
IGP’s A Hand To Hold Publishing is different from Traditional, Vanity, and Hybrid Publishers
Your book files remain entirely under your personal control and management. You retain 100% of your royalties based on your own unique ability to market and advertise your titles.
Your book files will hold your signature style, along with a polished professional finish that stands far apart from basic self-publishing.
Remember: Quality is always a thousand star years ahead of a saturated quantitative mindset that says, “anyone can publish a book.”
You receive elite, professional, and high-quality publishing services on a personalized level completely for free.
To clarify this distinction: The USD 850 is an annual fee—a token investment that secures your registration slot, filters for serious creators, and covers the founder’s intensive personal time working on your three drafts over the year.
Once your manuscript is officially accepted under your voyage, our actual publishing and production services are delivered to you completely for free.
Unlike traditional vanity presses or hybrid publishers that charge thousands of dollars per book for interior design, formatting, metadata setup, and asset packaging, IGP freely sponsors the entire production life cycle of your book. You receive personalized, master-level studio guidance to turn your raw manuscript into a collectible, retail-ready masterpiece without ever receiving a production invoice from us. We invest our specialized skills into your future at zero cost to you, handing you 100% control of the final assets.
Operational Capacity: The Stargazing Voyage opens for approval requests strictly during our designated capacity windows throughout the year. If this becomes a highly requested pathway and the press reaches maximum operational capacity, we will establish shorter, highly exclusive timeframes for accepting voyage requests—unless we hire more hands further down the lane.
The Creative Goal: Our dedicated goal is to ensure your personal style remains intact, recognizable, and unmistakable. We want your completed book to possess that premium, quality finish, and for you to feel deeply creatively accomplished on the inside. That intrinsic fulfillment is what will fuel your power to confidently plan future book launches, giveaways, exhibitions, display fairs, and other significant marketing strategies for both online and physical bookstores.
The Core Truth of Ownership: The most underrated truth in the publishing industry is this basic fact: For your book to be totally in your control, you must have your own ISBNs to be the publisher of record on all distribution networks.
Secure your approved Stargazing Voyage during our active capacity windows throughout the year, and then take your time preparing your manuscripts for submission.
