There is a real, beating heart at the center of how Atmosphere works. People really care about the process and you as a person. Never once did it feel like I was a part of a machine building a product.
Steven Armstrongauthor of Dragon Daughter

Care, and warmth, and openness would come to characterize each individual at Atmosphere I got to work with. Nick and Kyle and Cammie all became important to me over this past year, bringing joy, gratitude, and fun with each email or phone call.

Why Atmosphere?
As a hybrid book publisher, Atmosphere Press gives you only the best of both worlds: the credibility, experience, and talent of a traditional publisher combined with the autonomy, ownership, and contemporary boldness of a self-publisher. We use a model in which the author funds the work behind the project, but keeps 100% rights and artistic autonomy, as well as favorable royalties. With our Flagship Publishing package, Atmosphere Press offers authors a guided and meaningful journey to publishing their own masterpiece.
What would choosing the wrong publisher cost you?
Traditional Publisher Risks:
- Lost creative autonomy
- Low royalties
- Inaccessibility
Self-Publishing Risks:
- Rookie mistakes
- Lack of prestige
- Disjointed team
And with both, you can miss an opportunity to do something great.
By taking control of your book’s destiny with Atmosphere, you receive the transformative and rewarding publishing experience your writing deserves.
