Getting your hard work published is stressful. We get it. Small and scrappy like a pug, you can rest assured we won't give up until we find and publish only exceptional books that deliver on our promise of fresh, fun, and fabulous reads. Whether you're a new author or a seasoned self-publisher, we offer the added credibility of a professional publishing company's critical vetting and backing plus the logistical and administrative expertise to distribute your book worldwide. Don't be fooled by our size. We play like the big dogs and never charge you a dime to publish with us. Save your time and money for creating books and marketing your brand and trust your hard work to a real publisher.
We started Pug House Books because today's authors are increasingly responsible for marketing their own books, no matter the publisher. The truth is, writing a great book is not enough. You must be prepared to market it. However, our customizable contracts model takes this into account through a royalties split that justly reflects how much or how little you need us, creating the opportunity for more money in your pocket. Of course, at the Pug House you are never alone. Our experts are here to answer your questions and offer strategic guidance along the way to ensure your book reaches its full potential. The ultimate velcro dog at your service🐶!
We are beginning our portfolio development with a focus on children's picture books. If you have a book that you think belongs in the Pug House we want to hear from you! Please be sure to first read through our whole site to understand our brand and let us know why you think we are a match when submitting. Do you have a marketing plan and the will to execute? We may be new but we are going to be very selective about the partners we take on. To optimize your chances, please make sure your copy is edited and proofread and your illustrations are professional caliber. We can sniff out the work of AI a mile away, so please keep it human! When you are ready, send your query letter and a PDF of your complete sketch dummy, including one finished spread, to:
