Tomlinson Press
Tomlinson Press was founded with a simple mission: to make self-publishing truly professional. As a fellow writer and book-lover, Kelli Martin understands how overwhelming the publishing process can feel. That's why she created a full-service boutique publishing support company that provides the same quality and care you'd expect from a traditional publisher - without giving up your creative control or your royalties.
Whether you are a first-time author or a seasoned writer, we treat every project with the attention and expertise it deserves.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POLICY
**At Tomlinson Press, we believe every book should reflect the unique voice, creativity, knowledge, and life experiences of its author. For that reason, we do not publish manuscripts that have been written or substantially generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are committed to preserving the integrity of the writing process and supporting genuine human authorship.
We recognize that AI can be a useful tool in certain aspects of publishing such as creating book covers, illustrations within the book, or certain design elements, but this must be disclosed to Tomlinson Press at the time of consutlation.
Our mission is to help real authors share their stories, expertise, and imagination with readers through authentic, human-written books. If you have questions about our AI policy, we are happy to discuss your project before you submit you manuscript to us for a quote.

Our Commitments:
* Fair Pricing
* Personal Service
* Excellence
