No. Unlike with vanity publishers, you don’t have to purchase a minimum number of books for a print run. And while vanity publishers provide a one-time service, Xlibris is here for you throughout your self-publishing journey.

Is self-publishing the same as vanity publishing?

Define “Xlibris.”

Xlibris came from the Latin term “ex libris,” which means “from the library of.” We are a publishing services provider. With us, you are the publisher, and we act as a "back office" that handles the design and layout of your book. We fulfill your book orders while calculating and issuing royalties. We also provide marketing, editorial, and distribution support.

How old do I have to be to publish my book with you?

You can be of any age to publish with us! (But if you’re not yet an adult, you’ll have to ask a parent or legal guardian to co-sign some documents for you.)

Write that story, publish that book

Gone are the days when you needed to wade through too many rejection letters from traditional publishers and literary agents before you could publish your writing. Technology has made it so that publishing an ebook and publishing short stories on your own is as easy as clicking a button.

But of course, there’s so much more to writing and publishing a book than just uploading a document. If you choose to self-publish, it’s better to have expert designers and editors around to help you produce a quality book from cover to cover.

Learn all about how self-publishing works, what your book can look like, where readers will find your book, and when you can start with the Xlibris publishing guide.
