USA Publishing House is an American book publishing company in Norcross, Georgia. Since 2017 we've published 1,200+ authors — most of them over 50, most of them first-timers, nearly all of them told "no" or "not you" by the industry first. This page is who we are, why we exist, and the promises we put in writing.
In 2017, the founders of USA Publishing House kept meeting the same author. She was 63, she'd finished a memoir, and she had two options. Option one: query literary agents for years and probably never hear back — the big houses take roughly 1–2% of manuscripts. Option two: hand $8,000 to a "publisher" she found online and hope. Too often, the hoping ended badly. Fees that grew after signing. Rights quietly signed away. Royalties skimmed. Phone numbers that stopped answering.
So we built the company we wished she'd found. A real office in Norcross, Georgia. Prices published on the website, not hidden behind a sales call. A person — the same person — who answers the phone from 1pm to 11pm ET, seven days a week.
We built it specifically for the authors the industry overlooks: writers publishing their first book at 55, 65, 75. Grandparents with a children's story they've told a hundred times out loud. Pastors and faith writers with a testimony. Veterans with a war behind them and no patience for runaround. If you're not tech-savvy, that's fine — authors have mailed us handwritten pages and read chapters to us over the phone. The process bends to you.
Every scam story we heard broke in one of the same few places. The price changed after payment. The rights or royalties weren't really the author's. The book published — or didn't — without the author's say. So we wrote our contract as the direct answer to those failures, and we've repeated the same lines to every author since:
Those three lines aren't marketing. They're the contract terms — and they're the same three tests we tell authors to run on any company, including us.
Small team, one building, no outsourced call centers. When you call, you're talking to someone whose desk is in Norcross.
Publishing Director
Runs every project from contract to launch day. The person who puts your price in writing — and the one you can ask for by name if anything ever feels off.
Senior Editor
Polishes grammar, pacing, and flow without touching your voice. Has edited everything from 40-day devotionals to 500-page family histories.
Children's Illustration Lead
Turns the pictures in your head into the ones on the page — 12 custom illustrations per picture book, every single one approved by you.
Author Success Manager
Your same voice on the phone, first call to launch. Walks you through every approval gate and answers the "is this normal?" questions — there are always a few.
Most of what's wrong with this industry disappears when a real person picks up. So we pick up — 1pm–11pm ET, every day.
Companies that hide prices are telling you something. Ours are on the website: $699 to $7,999, one payment.
Rights, royalties, the files, all of it. We're a service you hired — not a publisher who owns you.
About 60 days is typical, but your approvals set the pace. We don't promise calendar dates, because rushed books show it forever.
“I asked every scam-test question I'd read about — price in writing, rights in the contract, a real office I could call. They passed all of them, then published my book beautifully.”
No, and we'll never pretend otherwise. We're a publishing services company: you pay once ($699–$7,999), we do the editing, cover, ISBN, and publishing on Amazon and up to 20+ stores — and you keep 100% of rights and royalties. Here's exactly what we do →
6010 Singleton Rd, STE 213-109, Norcross, GA 30093 — in the Atlanta metro. Yes, you can visit by appointment; plenty of Georgia authors do. Everyone else works with us by phone and mail, from all 50 states.
Don't take our word for it — test us. Ask for the price in writing (you'll get it before paying). Read the contract line where rights and royalties stay 100% yours. Call (229) 518-4453 and see if a person answers. Then look our authors' books up on Amazon.
First-time authors, most of them 50 and up. Memoirists, children's authors, faith writers, veterans. If you want a big-house advance and a shot at the Big Five, we're honestly not your path — query agents first. If you want your book done right, at a price you saw before paying, that's us. Unfinished manuscript? We work in drafts, and ghostwriting starts at $1,600.
