Maine Authors Publishing has been bringing local stores, readers and writers together since 2009. As a cooperative-style publisher, its goal is to support local, independent authors throughout the publishing process with affordable services such as editing, design, printing, a trade catalog, distribution, and marketing assistance. Only a percentage of books are accepted under the Maine Authors Publishing imprint after they have been vetted for writing and design quality.
