Print & eBook Packages
Professional publishing support for independent authors
Publishing a book involves far more than uploading a manuscript to a retailer. Strong editing, professional design, thoughtful formatting, accurate metadata, ISBN registration, and distribution all contribute to creating a book that stands confidently alongside traditionally published titles.
Since 2023, Stygian Media has been publishing books, magazines, and digital publications while working directly with authors, editors, designers, and readers. We understand the publishing process from both sides of the desk because we are active publishers ourselves.Our Editor-in-Chief brings more than 30 years of experience in fiction, graphic novels, and editorial services, including work with major publishers such as DC Comics, Marvel, and Renegade Arts Entertainment.
Every project benefits from that depth of industry knowledge and editorial expertise.
Design and production are led directly by Stygian Media founder Holly Rhiannon, whose background spans more than two decades in the arts, publishing, branding, and sales. From cover design and interior formatting to market positioning and reader experience, every detail is approached with both creativity and practicality in mind.
Whether you are publishing your first book or expanding an existing catalogue, our team can guide your project from manuscript to publication through a range of professional editing, design, formatting, and distribution services.
We offer both complete publishing packages and custom solutions tailored to your goals.
Stygian Media operates under an AI-free mandate. Every book, publication, editorial review, design, and creative service is produced by human professionals using human expertise, creativity, and craftsmanship.
What to Expect
✅ Dedicated project coordinator
✅ Human editing and production support
✅ Print-ready and eBook-ready files
✅ US or Canadian ISBN registration
✅ Professional interior formatting
✅ Distribution setup and publishing assistance
✅ Final proof review before publication
✅ Ongoing support throughout the publishing process
Every project begins with a consultation where we discuss your manuscript, publishing goals, timeline, and budget.
Once your manuscript is ready, our team will guide it through editing, proofreading, formatting, design, and production. You will have the opportunity to review and approve all files before publication.
Depending on your package, we can assist with print publication, eBook publication, cover design, ISBN registration, retailer setup, metadata development, and launch preparation.
Throughout the process, you will work directly with real publishing professionals who are available to answer questions and provide guidance.
What You'll Need
Before publication begins, authors must provide a completed manuscript.
Projects that include editing may begin with an earlier draft. Projects that focus on formatting and publication require a final edited manuscript before production can begin.
If you are unsure whether your manuscript is publication-ready, we are happy to discuss your options during an initial (free) consultation.

The publication services offered on this page are professional editorial, design, formatting, and publishing support services provided to independent authors.
Purchasing a service package does not constitute publication by Stygian Media, inclusion in the Stygian Media catalogue, representation by Stygian Media, or endorsement of a work by Stygian Media.
All books produced through these services remain independent publications owned and controlled by their respective authors.
Stygian Media's publishing catalogue operates separately through our established submissions and acquisitions process.
Manuscripts considered for publication under the Stygian Media imprint are evaluated independently and are not influenced by the purchase of editorial or publication services.
