Independent Publishing for Independent Authors
Books That Matter. Authors Who Own Their Work.
T28X is an independent press helping writers publish, distribute, and market books without surrendering creative control or upfront fees.
Our Purpose
We believe the best books come from authors who care deeply about their subject—and that those authors deserve a publishing partner, not a gatekeeper. T28X exists to make professional publishing accessible without compromising quality or ownership.
Why T28X
Publishing Without Compromise
Author-First Royalties
We don’t charge upfront fees. No “package” pricing. No pay-to-play. T28X earns when our authors earn—which means we’re invested in every book’s success, not just its production.
Professional Quality
Every T28X title receives professional editing, custom cover design, and formatting that meets industry standards. Indie doesn’t mean amateur. Your book competes on the same shelf as Big Five releases.
Wide Distribution
Print and ebook distribution through Amazon, IngramSpark, and major retailers worldwide. Your book available wherever readers shop—libraries, bookstores, and online.
Creative Control
You wrote it. You own it. T28X authors retain full creative control and intellectual property rights. We’re your partner, not your landlord.
How It Works (For Authors)
From Manuscript to Market
Step 1: Submit
Send us your completed manuscript through our submissions portal.
We review every query personally—no algorithms, no slush pile purgatory.
Step 2: Review
If your book fits our catalog, we’ll request the full manuscript.
We’re selective, but we’re not looking for “safe.”
We’re looking for authors who have something to say.
Step 3: Contract
Clear terms. Fair royalties. No surprises.
We walk through every clause so you know exactly what you’re signing.
Step 4: Production
Professional editing, cover design, interior formatting—handled.
You approve every decision. Nothing publishes without your sign-off.
Step 5: Launch
Coordinated release across all platforms.
Marketing support, metadata optimization, and ongoing partnership.
Your book isn’t a transaction—it’s the beginning of a relationship.
