Jan-Carol Publishing, INC (JCP) is a progressive small press publisher with a competitive edge and promotional blend of self-publishing and traditional publishing.  JCP is not defined as a vanity publisher. We have a high standard in our selection of our authors, and our end product must represent that level of professionalism. Our desire is to work side by side with our authors from beginning to completion of the publication with assistance and direction, and our authors are an integrate part of the process.

 

We provide instruction and guidance through the complexities of the publishing landscapes. We have published authors with much success. Many of our authors have published more than one book and some with series of books. Our commitment to our authors and their books does not end once the book is printed.
