our services
We are a small press company with a particular focus on making the journey to publishing easier for indie authors.
Navigating the publishing industry
can be hard, especially if you lack prior experience in the field.
Aspiring authors continue to be surprised by the amount of work that goes
into publishing a novel. If only it had been as simple as writing a manuscript and then pushing a button.
Wait, it’s not, you ask? Don’t worry. We’ll help guide you through the process.
Web Design
Not only will we help you build a website to suit your unique author brand, but we’ll also make sure it’s compliant with the international laws and regulations that might apply to your services.
Guidance & Advice
We have experience with self-publishing in an international market. We know the tricks of the trade and are here to offer you our insight to help you achieve better results.
Should you go for wide or narrow distribution? Which marketing strategy should you opt for? What do you need to bear in mind around your book launch?
We’ll help you find the answers.
Administrative Tasks
Few aspiring indie authors are aware of just how much administrative work goes into building an author brand. We’re here to relieve you of some of the work. That way, you can focus on what you do best: creating amazing stories. Meanwhile, we’ll take care of what we do best – managing your administrative tasks.
Why Midgard Press
WE’RE DIFFERENT – IN A GOOD WAY
We like to think of ourselves as a hybrid, combining the best parts of independent publishing with those of traditional publishing.
Unlike most publishing houses, we do not seek to gain any rights over your projects – that includes financial rights. We believe writers should retain all rights to their work, including the profit they might earn in the wake of publishing it. Our goal is to help authors free up time so they can focus on what they do best: crafting amazing stories.
As a client of ours, you decide what to do with your work. We’re merely here to guide you through the process and offer advice where needed.
FREE ISBNs
We’ll offer you free ISBNs. By getting an ISBN from us, your published work won’t be registered under your legal name. This provides an extra layer of protection if you write under a pen name and would like to remain anonymous. But don’t worry, ISBNs have nothing to do with copyright; you’ll still retain the copyright to your work even though you’re using an ISBN provided by us.
Although we are based in Norway, it is not necessary for prospective clients to be Norwegian citizens to get ISBNs from us.
WORKING WITH US
Our team consists of people with personal experience in publishing within the international market, so you can rest assured that you’ll receive insightful guidance pertaining to your publishing journey.
We offer various types of contracts to cater to your needs. You can choose between paying a flat fee for a set number of services, or whether to pay monthly for continuous maintenance, e.g. for us to manage your website for you.
