The Authority Engine™ — 6 months to published authority.
Author Launchpad
From a Rough Draft to an Internationally Published Book — In 3 Months or Less.
You’ve already done the hard part. You have a manuscript — or you’re close to one. What you need now isn’t another writing program. It’s a team that turns a finished draft into a professionally published book, without you having to manage a single freelancer.
Author Launchpad is a completely done-for-you publishing experience for authors who are committed to excellence — editing, design, formatting, distribution, and launch, handled by a dedicated team while you keep 100% of your rights and royalties.
No pitch. Just a conversation about your book and your business.

Sound familiar?
You've Poured Months Into Your Manuscript. Now What?
You’ve spent months — maybe years — getting your ideas onto the page. Now you’re staring down a maze of editors, cover designers, formatters, and platforms, trying to figure out who to trust and where to even start.
Should I go the traditional publishing route, or keep control of my rights and royalties?
How do I find editors and designers I can actually trust with my manuscript?
Will my book look and read like it came from a real publishing house — or like it was self-published?
How do I get it in front of readers instead of it disappearing on page nine of Amazon?
Author Launchpad exists for exactly this moment. You keep the independence and the royalties of self-publishing — and you get the professional, done-for-you support of a full publishing house. No freelancer juggling. No guesswork. One team, one timeline, one finished book you’re proud to put your name on.

Authors’Testimonials
Personal attention made a difference
"Jyotsna personally scheduled a call and spoke with me in person. She listened to me and found out what I needed and went on to design a special package that would suit me. She told me what I required then put together something that was customized for me. She really listened to me and assigned me a Project Manager that started walking me through everything everyday. Sushmitha was very patient with me, gave me good feedback, and always telling me not to worry" - Monica Rubombora, Government Tenders Don't Suck!
I had no clue, but it became fun
"I didn't know how to design a cover or the interior. I didn't know how to go about getting the book on Amazon or anywhere else. I had no clue! So I looked up any company that could do full service and do all of that stuff for me and I found Happy Self Publishing. I talked with Jyotsna and felt really good after the conversation. She gave me a lot of confidence after that just one conversation we had so that's why I ended up really going with Happy Self Publishing. It was a little bit overwhelming at first but it became fun once I was given all the options and what I could do with it!" - Terry Bonadonna, A Wonderful Waste of Time
You did everything a 100 million percent
"I worked with Happy Self Publishing on my 2nd book and I was overwhelmed by how amazing you guys were. You delivered 100,000 percent from the editing, to communication, and to cover design. I'm so grateful I took a chance on you guys because you did everything a hundred-million percent. I'm so grateful that I found you and your company. You have changed the game because I can just focus on what I love which is to write and don't have to worry about everything else because I know I have you guys to take care of that in the best way possible" - Annie Mayfield, Be Your Own Hero
My book became a bestseller
"I know my fitness model very well and know how to describe it but I'm not the expert on how to create a strong compelling title and cover, how, where, and when to launch the book, what are the best platforms, what is the best pricing, and which campaigns should I run when. All these processes which are around publishing a book is quite complex. Since I'm not the expert, Happy Self Publishing did all the experts parts around publishing for me. You should have seen my first covers which I created myself. It's very ugly and the one that HSP created for me was much much better. My book also became a Bestseller which I still benefit from today. I'm sure if I would have done it myself I would have never achieved that status and the success that I had" - Dr. Manfred Bortenschlager, From Healthy to Athletic
