Turn Your Manuscript Into a Professionally Published Book.
You wrote the book. Now it’s time to bring it to life. TruLife Books helps authors move from manuscript to marketplace with professional editing, design, production, distribution, marketing and personal publishing support.
Publishing Built Around the Author
Publishing a book involves much more than uploading a manuscript and clicking “publish.” A professionally produced book requires careful attention to the writing, cover, interior design, metadata, distribution and marketing.
TruLife Books brings these pieces together. Instead of trying to coordinate multiple freelancers and service providers, authors can work with one publishing team from manuscript preparation through publication and promotion.
Our goal is simple: help you create a book you are proud to put your name on—and give it the best possible opportunity to reach readers.

Make Your Book Available to Readers
Publishing the book is only the beginning. Readers need a way to discover and purchase it.
TruLife Books can prepare books for professional distribution channels that make titles available for ordering through major online booksellers and the wider book trade.
Expanded distribution can also make your title available to additional bookstores, libraries, wholesalers and institutional buyers. Retail availability ultimately depends on each retailer’s cataloging and purchasing systems.
Publishing a Book Is Only Half the Job.
Once your book is available, people need to know it exists. Every book has a different audience, and our goal is to help authors identify that audience and develop realistic ways to reach it.

Books Are Written for More Than Bookstores
Not every author publishes simply to become a bestseller. A book can serve a much bigger purpose.
More Than Just a Printing Company
There is an important difference between printing a book and publishing a book.
A printer produces copies. A publishing partner helps prepare the manuscript, create the product, establish distribution, position the book for readers and develop a strategy for what happens after publication.
That’s the role TruLife Books is designed to fill. We combine publishing services with practical marketing and distribution support so authors have somewhere to turn throughout the publishing journey.
Your name is on the cover.
Your ideas are inside the book. Your reputation is attached to the finished product. You should remain an active part of the publishing process.
Professional Publishing With a Personal Relationship
We believe authors should understand what is happening with their books and have people they can turn to throughout the process.
One Team
Editing, design, production, distribution and marketing support can all be coordinated through TruLife Books.
Professional Production
Your book is prepared to meet professional print and distribution standards.
Author Involvement
You remain involved in important decisions concerning your book, message and presentation.
Distribution Support
We help prepare your title for availability through professional book distribution channels.
Marketing Guidance
We help you think beyond publication and begin developing practical ways to reach readers.
Personal Service
Every manuscript represents someone’s idea, experience, expertise or dream. Authors should never feel like an account number.
Technology Made Publishing Easier. We Want to Keep It Personal.
Authors still need editors. Books still need professional covers. Pages still need proper design. Readers still need to discover the book. And authors still benefit from having experienced people they can turn to when questions arise.
TruLife Books combines the advantages of modern publishing with something increasingly rare:
Have a Book Worth Bringing Into the World?
If you have a completed manuscript—or a book project that is getting close—tell us about your book, your goals and where you are in the publishing process. We’ll help you determine the next step.
