Self-publishing was a daunting journey I tackled alone. Having Local Pub. Co. by my side transformed the process entirely, championing my work and elevating every aspect of my project.

Abbey Gelner

Local. Pub. Co. help my dream of becoming published reality. Not only did they have confidence in me and supported me through the whole process. They made connections possible to being my journal from idea to production. Even through set backs that would have likely led me to give up. I was constantly motivated to keep going.
