NEW! Rapid Release Program
Our new Rapid Release Program helps you take advantage of Amazon’s algorithms that favor publication in quick succession. Here’s how it works:
- You provide the content outline and character descriptions for each month’s story. Each month’s production may be a standalone story or a serial fiction installment.
- Hen House Publishing drafts the content—approximately 20,000 words—and submits it to you for review within 15 calendar days.
- Within seven (7) calendar days, you review the draft and return your requests for change. Be thorough and specific.
- Within seven (7) days, Hen House Publishing implements your requested changes, proofreads the content, and delivers the formatted manuscript ready for upload to Kindle Direct Publishing.

Our credentials include short stories to full-length novels spanning diverse genres: romance, fantasy, science fiction, historical drama, mystery, YA, etc. Master storytelling engages, excites, thrills, arouses, and entertains.

You wrote a story, but is it good? Or perhaps you know that your story needs further development, but you don’t know what.
This is developmental editing. This is where a critique comes in.
An objective review of your manuscript identifies the flaws in your manuscript with regard to character development, plot holes, anachronisms, and other errors that pull the reader from the narrative. A critique will also note those especially masterful passages, so you know what you did well. The critique will suggest general improvements to enhance the quality of your manuscript.
Each review includes an overall review plus a point-by-point critique.
How much?
- $0.005 per word.

Assisted Publishing
We’ll handle it, all of it.
You drafted your manuscript and you’re not sure what to do now. First, you have to make a decision: traditional publishing or self-publishing? If you choose the latter, let us help.
Hen House Publishing will edit your manuscript, format it for both print and e-book upload, and then publish the book through Kindle Direct Publishing for you. Each package includes three rounds of editing, formatting with placement of one graphic, and KDP publishing upload. You can choose to be responsible for cover design or outsource it to a graphic designer with whom we’ll be happy to coordinate.
The beauty of assisted publishing with Hen House Publishing is that the book is tied directly to your Amazon account, so Amazon will pay all royalties directly to you.
