A Different Standard in Publishing
Opal Press is not structured as a traditional publisher or a transactional service. It is a publishing partnership built around how books are positioned, discovered, and sold.
You remain in control of your work, retain full ownership, and keep 100% of your royalties. Opal Press does not take a percentage of book sales. Each book is developed with a focus on execution, positioning, and long-term performance so it continues to generate visibility and sales well beyond its release.
