Our Services
Boutique publishing tailored for authors and readers who cherish thoughtful stories. At Cypress and Sage Press, LLC, we offer flexible, affordable self-publishing services, editing, formatting, design, and personalized self-publishing instruction, plus selective traditional publishing under three imprints. No cookie-cutter packages. No hidden fees. Just real support for the stories the world needs now.
Book Design & Formatting
Your cover is your first promise to a reader. We create high-impact cover design and professional interior layouts that meet industry standards for print and ebook. Whether you need a poetry collection layout, an illustrated children's book, or a devotional journal, we ensure your book looks beautiful on the shelf and reads cleanly on every device. Original illustration available for Layla Bean Kids projects — custom quoted.
Manuscript Review & Book Editing Services
Every great book begins with honest feedback. We offer developmental editing, line editing, and final proofreading tailored to your genre and audience — from picture books and poetry to Southern gothic, memoir, fantasy, and Christian nonfiction. We identify growth areas, strengthen your voice, and prepare your manuscript for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and beyond
Professional Self-Publishing Services for Independent Authors
You didn't come this far to publish a book that looks self-published. We bridge the gap between DIY and traditional gatekeeping with hands-on help.
Other Services
Publishing Instruction
You shouldn't need a technical degree to publish. We provide step-by-step self-publishing instruction for KDP, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital and more. We walk you through ISBNs, metadata and keywords, pricing and royalties, file uploads, and distribution setup so you stay in control of your rights and income. This is affordable self-publishing help that keeps you as the publisher.
Ghostwriting Servies
Your story deserves to be told well — and told in your voice, not ours. At Cypress & Sage Press, our ghostwriting service pairs you with a writer who listens first and writes second. With 30 years of writing experience and 14 published books behind us, we know how to take your ideas, your memories, or your expertise and shape them into a manuscript that sounds unmistakably like you.
Whether it's a memoir, a business book, or a story you've been carrying for years but haven't had time to write, we handle the heavy lifting — interviews, drafting, revisions — while you retain full ownership and rights to your work. No ghostwriter byline games, no fine print that quietly takes your story from you. Just a finished book you're proud to put your name on.

Publish With Us - Selective Traditional Publishing
Not every author wants to go it alone. We selectively publish manuscripts that align with our mission under our three imprints:
Poetry and Prose for the Art of Living: Adult & YA fiction, memoir, poetry, Southern gothic, manifestation, inner alchemy, fantasy, professional development.
Layla Bean Kids: Children's books that spark wonder — picture books, early readers, and story-driven nonfiction ages 3-9.
Inner Sun Publishing: Spiritual works for every faith and none — Christian living, devotionals, memoir, poetry, and guides for healing and transformation.
No upfront costs to submit. Fair, transparent royalty splits. You keep creative control.
