About Us

Granville Island Publishing is a hybrid publisher that behaves just like traditional publishing companies, except that we publish books using an author-subsidized business model. Our books meet traditional publishing standards, therefore are distributed to brick and mortar stores as well as on-line. The return to authors is a higher-than-industry-standard share of sales proceeds.

We work with authors who want to learn and have more control in the process of publishing their books while partnering with seasoned experts.

Our approach allows you to: 

  • be totally involved in decision making
  • ensure that your project reflects y/our values
  • achieve the highest quality
  • receive a published book usually in a shorter time than with traditional publishers
  • receive our help in marketing and
  • be introduced to a publicist

At Granville Island Publishing (GVIP), we assess and meet your publishing needs. Every author and every book is unique. We work with our authors to publish professional, beautiful-looking books. We do this while managing budgetary constraints, preserving the voice and message of your manuscript, and tailoring our services to meet your needs in order to achieve your goals.
