The market is full of books that have never sold more than 10 copies. You’ve seen novels on Amazon that were published 5 years ago and never received 10 reviews. Those authors failed to complete at least one of these 3 steps, and so readers never discovered their books.
But if you acquire professional editing, make smart publishing choices, and implement a marketing plan before publishing, you will set up your book and career for success – just as a building with a firm foundation can be built higher and higher.
With our team’s support, you can publish a beautiful book that readers will buy, love, and remember!

Discount Services for Authors with Disabilities

Every Author Deserves to Have Their Story Told!
If you are a writer or author with a disability, we want to partner with you to create a publishing plan that fits you, rather than you having to fit into a generic, potentially ableist plan.
We offer custom free or low-cost services to authors with disabilities. We’ll be your wingwomen, to give you a little extra power, so you can reach those greater heights!
FAQ’s
1. Are you a vanity press? NO
Please note that while we offer book publishing services for authors, we are not a publisher or vanity press. We provide editorial assessments, self-publication support, and marketing services for both indie authors and traditionally published authors. We take no royalties from authors.
2. Do you use AI? NO
Creative Cornerstones does NOT use AI for any part of our process, whether editing, cover design, book blurb writing, or any other steps.
3. Do you work with authors who use AI? NO
Creative Cornerstones does NOT edit AI-produced, assisted, or edited writing. AI companies have stolen the work of writers to train their algorithms without author consent or compensation and we do not condone such violation of intellectual property rights.
4. Do you offer payment plans? YES
A full, professional editorial package may total several thousand dollars. We are willing to accept payments in several parts to enable all authors to achieve their dreams!
