The Trafford Publishing Gold Seal of Literary Excellence

With more and more titles released every year and new professional awareness of the quality of indie published work, Trafford guarantees self publishing authors an unwavering commitment to launching the finest possible first edition of your book. With traditional publishing houses and movie producers scrutinizing scores of indie published titles for their next big hit, Trafford’s authors stand apart from the competition.    

Setting the Standard for Indie Publishing

Trafford submits every manuscript to an industry professional reviewer where your story will be critiqued by the most respected names in the publishing industry. Our esteemed reviewers include representatives from the US Review of Books, Foreword Clarion Book Review and Kirkus Reviews.

Deserving works will receive our Gold Seal of Literary Excellence. The published books’ covers are branded with a Gold Seal stamp, distinguishing it from the work of any other self publisher or publishing company. Your cover will also feature your reviewer’s critique, as would appear on the cover of any bestselling novel.
