At Otterpine, we have a customized, partnership-based approach to publishing. We don’t use fixed service packages or offer individual services à la carte. Instead, we shape each partnership around the book and the larger creative, business, or organizational goals behind it. Because editorial, design, production, distribution, and marketing decisions are all connected, we consider the project as a whole and build the right team, timeline, strategy, and systems around it. Whether we’re helping bring one meaningful book into the world or building the publishing infrastructure behind an ongoing body of work, no two publishing paths are the same.

The exception is warehousing and fulfillment, which we also offer as standalone services for authors, creators, and publishers who produce books through offset printing, sell directly to readers, or both.

Because our work is highly collaborative, we take on a limited number of projects each year. We typically book new publishing partnerships for publication dates at least one year out. There are always exceptions, but we strongly recommend reaching out sooner rather than later—even if your manuscript or plans are still taking shape—so we have time to explore the right fit, timeline, and path forward together.
