The reason Queen Publishing Agency exists
AJ knows the long way around.
“First, think, second, dream, third believe, and finally dare.”
Author and publisher AJ Kikumoto dared to write a children's book to share her passion and awareness around Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), a motor speech disorder that makes it difficult for children to speak.
Four of her six children have Apraxia of Speech and were mute until age 4. Amaya, child number three, was crowned International Junior Miss Colorado Jr Princess at age 6, only two years after speaking her first words.
She gave a memorized minute speech on an international stage in Nashville, Tennessee. There was not a dry eye in that Grand Ole Opry ballroom. How do you not share this success story of passion, hard work, years of therapy, and even horse therapy in a barn — especially after thinking all was lost with no hope?
There is no greater feeling than sharing what you have created and watching others enjoy your creation. AJ and her kid authors had the privilege of sharing their story virtually with an elementary school during the pandemic. They left the school like kings and queens. Autographing books feels so celebrity-like. AJ wants everyone to have this feeling of being published. This could be you.
Queen Publishing Agency was born when AJ struggled to get her own children's book series, Zoey's Great Adventures, published and saw the need to help others get published. If you could simply google “How to Publish a Book” and get one simple answer, that would be magical. But, alas, there is no simple answer. There has to be a better way.
Whether you are a former, current, or future queen, we are all queens in the eyes of God, and we all have a story to share. Share your inspiration, your platform, your cause, or your legacy project with the world through a book.
Children's books are a fan favorite because they can expertly share your message with the world. Queen Publishing Agency — Get Crowned, Get Published — was born.
The honest answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Publishing a book is a big decision, and you should feel confident about who you trust with your story. Here are answers to the questions authors ask us most.
Yes. We understand that professionally publishing a book is an investment, which is why Queen Publishing Agency offers a simple two-payment structure.
A 50% deposit is required before we begin work on your book, and the remaining 50% is due before you receive your completed final book files.
This allows you to get your publishing project started without paying the full investment upfront.
Yes. Your book belongs to you.
You retain ownership of your work and the rights to your book. Queen Publishing Agency is here to help you professionally prepare and publish your book, not take ownership of it.
Your story. Your book. Your name on the cover. That’s exactly how it should be.
Yes. You keep 100% of your royalties.
Queen Publishing Agency does not take a percentage of your ongoing book sales or royalties.
Once your book is published, royalties generated through your publishing accounts belong to you. Our job is to help you create and publish a professional book that you are proud to put into the world.
No surprise publishing bills.
Before your project begins, we’ll clearly explain your publishing package, what is included, and your investment so you know exactly what to expect.
If you decide later that you’d like to add an optional service, such as an author website or another publishing service outside your original package, we’ll discuss the additional cost with you before any additional work begins.
We believe authors deserve transparency, especially when it comes to their money.
We understand this concern. Your book represents your time, your story, your ideas, and often years of work. Choosing the right publishing partner is a big decision.
Queen Publishing Agency is a full-service publishing agency built to help authors professionally bring their books from manuscript to published book.
We work with you throughout the process, from professional book design and formatting to preparing your book for publication and distribution. Most importantly, you retain ownership of your work and 100% of your royalties.
And you don’t have to simply take our word for it. We have previous publishing clients who are happy to serve as references and share their experience working with Queen Publishing Agency. If you’d like to speak with a past client before making your decision, just ask.
Your story matters. You should feel confident about who you choose to help publish it.
Absolutely. It’s your book.
We bring professional publishing and design expertise to your project, but we don’t believe in taking your vision away from you.
You’ll have opportunities to review and approve important elements of your book throughout the process, including your cover and interior design.
We’ll give you professional recommendations when we believe something could make your book stronger, more polished, or more marketable, but ultimately we’re working together to bring your vision to life.
Think of Queen Publishing Agency as your publishing team.
Depending on your publishing package and the needs of your book, we help manage the professional pieces required to turn your manuscript into a finished book, including services such as:
- Professional cover design
- Interior book formatting
- Publishing setup and guidance
- Paperback, hardcover, and ebook publication
- Amazon KDP setup
- IngramSpark distribution
- Book title, subtitle, description, and publishing guidance
- Professional files prepared for publication
Instead of trying to figure out formatting, file specifications, publishing platforms, distribution, covers, and all the technical details yourself, you have someone helping guide the process from manuscript to published book.
We prepare books for publication and distribution through major publishing platforms, including Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.
Depending on your project and format, your book can be published as a Paperback, Hardcover, or Ebook.
Using these publishing and distribution platforms gives your book the opportunity to be available to readers through major online retailers and broader book-distribution channels.
One important distinction: distribution makes your book available for retailers and readers to order. It does not guarantee that every physical bookstore will automatically stock your book on its shelves.
We’d rather explain that honestly than make promises no publisher can guarantee.
We can help position your book professionally for the marketplace, but no reputable publisher can guarantee book sales or bestseller status.
A strong title, subtitle, professional cover, compelling book description, appropriate keywords, professional formatting, and effective distribution all give your book a stronger foundation.
But publishing and marketing are two different stages of the journey.
We will help make sure your book looks and feels like a professionally published book and is properly positioned for publication. From there, ongoing marketing, audience building, promotion, and visibility all play a role in generating sales.
If anyone promises you thousands of guaranteed sales simply because they publish your book, that’s a promise worth questioning.
That’s okay. Your book may be closer than you think.
If you have the story, knowledge, experience, or idea for a book but don’t have a finished manuscript, ask us about The Queen Story Method.
The Queen Story Method is designed to help you take what’s already in your head and heart and turn it into an organized manuscript that’s ready for the publishing process.
Whether you’ve written a few chapters, have pages of notes, or simply know the story you want to tell, we’ll help you determine the best next step.
Already have your manuscript? Let’s publish it.
Have the idea but need help creating the manuscript? Let’s build it.
Either way, you don’t have to figure out the entire publishing journey alone.
