Epigraph is a book publishing company dedicated to a spirit of partnership and innovation
Epigraph is a book publishing company dedicated to a spirit of partnership, innovation, and transparency with its authors and its trading partners. We combine traditional book publishing experience with new media methods. We believe one of the best ways we can serve our authors is to remain passionately committed to excellence in the book publishing arts.
Epigraph Publishing Service is a place—a home for books, if you like—where writers and authors can find solutions to their many publishing needs. Unlike most self-publishing companies, our roots are in traditional publishing, and we grew from there to embrace and master on-demand technologies. (Epigraph is a DBA of Monkfish Book Publishing Company, an award-winning traditional small press founded in 2002, specializing in books that combine literary and spiritual merits.)
When Epigraph was launched in 2006, it instantly became a pioneer in the cross-pollination of traditional and self-publishing techniques. Most of the authors attracted to our “boutique” style of self-publishing service were (and still are) sensitive to traditional publishing standards and did not want their books to look or read as self-published. These authors wanted creative control as well as collaboration with seasoned publishing professionals. Two notable early Epigraph authors were the graphic memoirist Lucy Knisley, whose French Milk was acquired and published by Touchstone (Simon and Schuster) and helped launch her thriving career, and Major Benjamin Tupper, whose Welcome to Afghanistan led to a two-book deal with New American Library (Penguin).
Over the years, we have continually refined our products and services, keeping step with emerging technologies as well as with the shifting cultural status of self-publishing. Today, we offer an ever-broadening range of services, including eBooks, DIY options, and traditional publicity to a more accepting world. In 2006, there were no credible review venues for self-published work. We coached our authors on grassroots and low-cost guerilla marketing techniques, and we enjoyed some startling successes. Today, self-published authors are routinely covered in serious mainstream publications from Publishers Weekly to the New York Times. In fact, I like to think that Epigraph and our daring early authors had a small part to play in that reversal. One thing is for sure: important doors have opened and self-publishing authors today have unparalleled opportunity.
You may have noticed that we have an unusual word or two in our company name: Epigraph Publishing Service. “Epigraph,” in publishing terms, means “a short quotation or saying at the beginning of a book or chapter, intended to suggest its theme.” Our second unusual word is “Service.” That word choice signifies our basic orientation toward our authors. Though it should go without saying for a publishing company, we’re not in this business simply to turn a profit. We’re here to empower our authors to create great literature. We are as safe—and as smart—a harbor for your books and intellectual property as you are likely to find in this wild, new digital world. We strive to be “good company” in all senses of the phrase. We firmly believe you will find this philosophy reflected in all of our products and services.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 2002
What is your primary product or service?
Self-publishing services including book design, printing and distribution.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have a long work history in publishing, first in magazines in 1986, and then in books from 1991 till today. I started my own publishing company in 2002.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Without a doubt, that differentiation begins with me as a small press traditional publisher. When I started Epigraph in 2006, I was one of the few owners of a self publishing company was also a traditional book publisher. Today, I am joined by a legion of traditional publishers who offer self-publishing services including Random House/Penguin, and Simon and Schuster. What is unique about Epigraph today is our performance for our authors. Because of technological advances and because we are not a behemoth-like organization, we can offer a superior overall publishing experience for less, with higher royalty earnings. For us, it begins and ends in the word 'service', which is built into our name: Epigraph Publishing Service.
