New York is the capital of American publishing — and that's exactly the problem. The famous houses headquartered in Manhattan don't read unagented manuscripts, and most of what's left in the search results is directory lists and quote forms. USA Publishing House is a different kind of publisher: a done-for-you publishing team with published prices, working with New York authors remotely from our one real office in Norcross, Georgia.
No state has more publishing gravity than New York. The “Big Five” — Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, and Macmillan — are all headquartered in Manhattan. The literary tradition runs from Walt Whitman setting type in Brooklyn to Herman Melville, born on Pearl Street, to James Baldwin writing out of Harlem — and Toni Morrison spent years inside the machine itself, editing at Random House before her own novels changed the canon. If you're writing in New York today, you're surrounded by that history — and by working writers: in the MFA programs at Columbia, NYU, The New School, and Brooklyn College in the city, and at Cornell and Syracuse upstate; at the Brooklyn Book Festival every fall, one of the largest free literary festivals in the country; at the 92nd Street Y's long-running reading series; and at the New York State Writers Institute in Albany.
Here's the uncomfortable part. Almost none of that infrastructure exists to publish your book. The Manhattan houses acquire through literary agents, agents accept a small fraction of the writers who query them, and the whole traditional route routinely takes years — when it says yes at all. For a first-time author in Rochester, Queens, or Plattsburgh, “book publishers in New York” mostly means companies that will never read your manuscript.
That's the gap we work in. USA Publishing House is an assisted publisher: you keep 100% of your rights and royalties, and our team does the professional work a publishing house would do — editing, cover design, interior formatting, ISBN, and distribution to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and 20+ other platforms. Since 2017 we've published more than 1,200 authors across all 50 states, New York very much included.
We'd rather tell you this plainly than let you find out later: our office is at 6010 Singleton Rd, STE 213-109, Norcross, Georgia. We do not have a New York address, and we won't rent a virtual one to look like we do — plenty of companies in this industry play that game, and it tells you something about them. We serve New York authors the way we serve most of our authors: by phone and email, on a schedule that works for you (real people answer 11am–8pm ET, Monday to Friday), with printed proofs and author copies shipped to your door anywhere from Buffalo to Montauk. Your finished book lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble the same way it would if your publisher sat on Fifth Avenue.
The full range is under one roof: complete book publishing, children's books with custom illustrations, memoirs, and Christian publishing. If you're weighing your options first, start with our plain-English guides to how to publish a book and what publishing really costs, or see every package price — published online, no quote call required.
A real consultant — not an autoresponder — will call you back with your options and your exact price.
No, and we won't pretend to. Our one office is in Norcross, Georgia. We work with New York authors by phone and email, and ship proofs and author copies to any New York address. If a publisher shows you a prestige address but no team behind it, ask who actually answers the phone there.
Here's the honest version: your book will be listed on Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, and 20+ retail platforms, and bookstores can order it through standard distribution channels. No paid publisher can honestly guarantee shelf placement in specific stores — stores choose their own stock. Anyone promising you a window display is selling you a story.
Only if you're pursuing the traditional houses — most major Manhattan publishers accept submissions exclusively through agents. With assisted publishing there's no agent, no querying, and no years of waiting: you keep your rights and we do the production work. Our guide to how to publish a book compares the paths honestly.
Packages run $699 to $7,999 — one payment, currently 50% off this month, covering editing through distribution. The numbers are on our pricing page, and the honest math behind them is in our cost breakdown. You'll have your exact price in writing before you pay anything.
You send us your manuscript however it exists — typed, scanned, even handwritten. We walk through editing, cover design, and formatting by phone and email, you approve each stage, and printed proofs come to your door before anything goes live. From finished manuscript to a book on Amazon typically takes about 60 days. Start with a free consultation.
