We’re small, local and experienced. Instead of a cookie-cutter corporate publishing company, we provide services tailored to your needs. We believe in supporting and promoting authors in our community and beyond.
How does the publishing process work? How can I make sure that I’m paying for services that are right for me?
Bluebird wants to empower potential authors to make the right choices for them. Take a look at the Author Resources page for more information about how the publishing process works, and familiarize yourself with our services and pricing on our Services Offered page.
If my book isn’t good enough to be published traditionally, what chance is there for success?
Publishing is a tough business, especially now. A successful self-published book has several ingredients: a good idea, well-written content, and a hard-working author who will promote it. Even with these ingredients, success isn’t guaranteed. But we will use our expertise to start you on the right foot and give your book every chance to succeed.
What is the difference between Virginia Publishing and Bluebird?
Virginia Publishing publishes non-fiction books about St. Louis history and culture. Bluebird publishes everything else…fiction, poetry, family histories, essay collections, guidebooks, cookbooks, and more. If your manuscript is appropriate for Virginia Publishing, we will let you know.
