About High Tide ยท Est. 1982
Independent publishing, done properly.
High Tide Publishing House is an independent publisher working with authors to bring their books to readers, with the care and craft of a traditional house and the freedom of self-publishing.
Our story
A small house with a long view.
High Tide has always believed that good books deserve to find their readers, whoever writes them. We've watched publishing change shape many times over, and the arrival of self-publishing has been the biggest shift of all: anyone can now put a book into the world.
But publishing a book well still takes experience. The editing, the cover, the formatting, the positioning: these are the details that separate a book that sells from one that disappears. That's where we come in.
We partner with authors of fiction and non-fiction to turn finished manuscripts into professionally published books on Amazon, under the High Tide name. Authors bring the story; we bring everything it takes to launch it properly.
What we do
Everything a book needs to stand out.
Each title gets the attention of a full publishing team, shaped to the book rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Cover & interior design
Professional covers that hold their own on an Amazon results page, and clean, readable interiors formatted for Kindle, paperback and hardcover.
Publishing on Amazon
We take care of the KDP setup: metadata, categories, keywords, pricing and launch, so your book is positioned to be found by the right readers.
Reader resources
Workbooks, printables, audio and bonus material that extend the book beyond the last page and give readers a reason to come back.
