Free books: ask and we’ll ship you three novels from our top authors — your choice of paperback or ebook.

Let’s be honest

Self-publishing is free. Your time isn’t.

Anyone can upload a book to Amazon for nothing. But do you really want to spend months learning formatting interfaces and marketing algorithms — instead of writing your next book?

And loading a file onto Amazon won’t make you a bestseller. Selling books takes relentless, ever-changing promotion. That’s the part most writers dread. It’s the part we love.

Why Sunao

A publishing house built around the writer

Sunao began as the way founder Robert J. Morrow published his own novels. Along the way he met editors, designers, publicists and marketers from the biggest houses in the world — many of whom moonlight for authors. Those experts are our team.

  • You own the copyright — always.
  • Every book is a legitimate Sunao publication on the credits page.
  • Pick and choose services; add or drop them anytime.
  • Lowest starting cost in the industry, so you stay for the long haul.
