About Modelink Press

A publishing house built for the modern author.

Founded in 2017 in Sheridan, Wyoming. We exist to help serious authors publish professionally without surrendering their rights, royalties, or creative vision.

Our Mission

Every serious author deserves a publishing partner who puts their book first.

The traditional publishing model is broken for most authors. Long waits, low royalties, lost rights, and marketing that stops at launch day. Self-publishing offers control but without professional infrastructure most books never reach their audience.

Modelink Press bridges the gap. We provide the editorial excellence, design craft, global distribution, and strategic marketing of a major US house with the author-friendly terms, transparency, and speed that modern writers deserve.

You keep your copyright. You keep your royalties. You keep creative control. We provide the expertise.

Our Values

Six principles that guide every project.

Author-First

Every decision starts with what's best for the author and their book. Not our margins or speed. Your success.

Editorial Integrity

Senior editors from major US houses. We don't outsource to junior freelancers. Your manuscript gets expert attention.

Transparency

Clear pricing, honest timelines, no hidden fees. You own your rights, your ISBNs, and 100% of your royalties.

Results-Oriented

We measure success in copies sold, not impressions served. Data-driven marketing tied to royalty outcomes.

Craft Obsession

Designers whose covers sit on Barnes & Noble shelves. Formatters who QA against KDP, IngramSpark, EPUB3 standards.

Long-Term Partnership

We're not a one-book vendor. Monthly growth plans, series strategy, and author brand building. We're in it for your career.
