ABOUT US

Created by Authors, For Authors

Dear Aspiring Author,

My journey to become an author started right where you are now… with the decision to become a self-published author. Over the years I’ve gone from selling workout plans on eBay to eventually selling hundreds of thousands of copies of my sports workout books. My success (and hard lessons) prompted me to create Gatekeeper Press in 2015.

My vision was to democratize publishing, offering authors full creative control. Unlike traditional publishers, we empower authors to retain 100% ownership and royalties, and give them global retail distribution without limiting sales or charging ongoing fees.

Today, we've helped over 2,700 people worldwide to become a self-published author and bring their dream book to life.  Our commitment to quality, customer service, and a transparent business model has made Gatekeeper Press the trusted name in the industry.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your self-publishing journey, I encourage you to claim your free consultation. You’ll speak with myself, or my co-founder Tony Chellini.

To Your Success,

Rob Price

Founder, Gatekeeper Press

Former Chairman, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA)

    I have had the good fortune of successfully publishing two books with Gatekeeper Press. Needless to say, after the publication of my first book with Gatekeeper Press, going elsewhere for my second book was never an option. My amazing MVP Author Manager, Nicole Dudley, was at my side professionally and graciously guiding me throughout the very intricate and involved process that is book publishing.

    Peter Isaacs

    I had an outstanding experience publishing my debut novel, thanks in large part to my brilliant author agent, Kelly Santaguida. Her attentiveness, efficiency, and patience were invaluable to me as a new author navigating the complex world of publishing. She was always there to explain each step of the process, ensuring I understood every detail and keeping me on the right track.

    I am grateful to Gatekeeper Press for helping me navigate the publishing process and bring my book to life. This was especially helpful as a first-time author. I truly benefited from their experience and expertise every step of the way (editing, illustrations, layout, proofing, indexing, cover design, etc.)

    I have used Gatekeepers press for seven of my last books and plan to use them with the book I’m finishing. The last four books have won national awards. The quality of their work was a big part of the awards.

    My experience with Gatekeeper Press was amazing from start to finish. My Author Manager, Jennifer, helped to make this process very easy. I am so pleased with the end product. My editor was awesome. I can't wait to start the process for my next trip.

    Thank you, Gatekeeper Press team, especially my author manager Eden, for your professionalism throughout my handbook, In The Loss Of A Loved One Informational Handbook Process. Words cannot express how I feel for your support as I relived my grief and sorrow.

    My experience with Gatekeeper Press has been great. I worked with Angie, and she was very helpful and sorting out everything to get my activity book published. I think the quality is great and I am happy to work with them in the near future for another project.

    A big thank you to Gatekeeper Press. My Author Manager was by my side through each step of my publication journey. We worked closely with editors, formators and a remarkable illustrator. I greatly appreciated the exchange of thoughts and ideas. I also get to maintain 100% of my royalties. Proud to call them my publisher.

    It is a luxury to work with Gatekeeper Press. My author manager helped me through the steps of cover design and interior formatting, provided many opportunities for review to be sure I was happy with how things looked, and the proof reader was well worth the extra cost. Gatekeeper handled the mysteries of copyrighting and obtaining an ISBN number, and soon the free author copies were in my hand. Thank you, Gatekeeper Press!

    Dialogues with the Wise Woman was not my first book, but it was my first novel. I chose Gatekeeper Press because of all the wonderful author testimonials I read. I was also impressed when I read that they will work with an author until he or she is completely satisfied with all aspects of their book. So I took the plunge.

    I was more afraid of publishing process than writing a book. Gatekeeper Press gave me wings.Currently writing my third book and cannot wait to publish it with Gatekeepers Press for a third time in two years.

    I had the great pleasure of choosing Gatekeeper Press for my first self publishing experience. It was such an easy process and my author manager made me feel confident throughout. Thanks to the help of Jen Spampinato my book is finished and ready to launch! She went above and beyond professionalism. Anything in terms of editing or format and how the book itself looked, she took into her hands as if it was her own baby being birthed into creation.

    I had a great experience with the company but most of all Lexi Tebet. She was extremely professional, always responded to my emails promptly, and took her time to break down each step without any issues. I am really demanding and I ask a lot of questions and want rapid updates, but Lexi never changed her tone or frequency of replies.

    I used Gatekeeper Press to publish my memoir. The process was easy and seamless. I worked with Yukiko Schlotter. She was so patient and kind guiding me through publication. I am so grateful for her help. She helped this 90-year old realize her dream.

    I am so thrilled we found Gatekeeper Press!! The service was outstanding every step of the way. Our author manager, Sarah, was phenomenal. She helped my 15 year old daughter, Emma, publish her first book “Secrets of the Building”. Gatekeeper Press is wonderful.

    The concept of self-publishing was slightly intimidating to me, and I am very grateful for Gatekeeper Press’ attention, responsiveness, and professionalism when it came carrying my project to completion. I can’t recommend Gatekeeper Press and my author manager Eden Tuckman enough!
