New Trafford, a Bright New Dawn for Indie Publishing

Trafford is the indie publishing industry’s founding father. We have been nurturing writers into independently published authors for more than 15 years. Today Trafford’s family comprises more than 10,000 authors spanning 120 countries. Our commitment to giving our authors the best possible publishing experience means that we are continually evaluating, adapting and developing our services and processes. As a result, Trafford adds another new chapter to the tale of the Indie Publishing Revolution, which is in itself a Trafford original composition.

Self-published authors have long suffered the stigma of condescension from the world of traditional publishing. Although this stereotype has been weathered in recent years, with people starting to sit up and take notice of the quality of work produced by many self-published authors, these preconceptions sadly still abound within our industry.

New Trafford aims for the direct approach to self-publishing, providing readers with a complete literary experience. From the look and feel of your book’s cover and interior to the quality of the prose cradled within, Trafford sets new standards for the indie publishing industry.

Indie Means Quality

Independent publishing does not sacrifice quality—just the opposite. New Trafford gives authors new standards of quality. Our Gold Seal of Literary Excellence rewards books of exceptional merit, and our exceptional Publishing Packages ensure complete creative control over your finished book. Trafford’s new ethos marks a gold standard in indie publishing.
