About – Teyara Press

The Spark Behind Teyara Press

Teyara Press was born from a simple yet profound realization: even with all the excellent publishing tools and platforms available today—Reedsy, Draft2Digital, and many others—there’s still no single solution that holistically supports independent authors from start to finish. Like many authors, we faced the overwhelming task of managing publishing logistics after completing our first book. The process was fragmented, complex, and time-consuming. Inspired by Tim Ferriss’s philosophy of “scratching your own itch,” we set out to create something better—a system that simplifies publishing and empowers writers to focus on what they love most: writing.

A Conceptual Proposal, Not a Finished Business

At its core, Teyara Press is a concept—a proposal to see if there’s a real demand for a fully streamlined, step-by-step publishing solution. We aren’t a finished business yet, and we don’t want to mislead anyone. Right now, we’re in the market research phase, exploring whether authors like you would value a service that consolidates everything from platform setup to royalties management into one cohesive process. If you’re reading this, your voice matters. Your feedback will tell us whether this idea deserves to scale—or remain a small, exclusive offering for a select group of writers.

The Problem We’re Solving

The current self-publishing landscape is both exciting and daunting. Platforms like Amazon KDP, Apple Books, Kobo, and Google Play Books make it possible to publish independently, but they also come with steep learning curves and countless decisions to make. Should you use a pen name? How do you handle ISBNs? What about royalties and taxes? Existing services like Reedsy and Draft2Digital provide pieces of the puzzle, but there’s no one-stop shop for authors who want a comprehensive solution. That’s the gap Teyara Press aims to fill.

A Step-by-Step Approach

Imagine a publishing solution that guides you through every step of the process—from creating your accounts and formatting your manuscript to marketing your book and managing multiple pen names. At Teyara Press, we envision a service that not only provides this checklist but streamlines the process so authors can spend less time navigating logistics and more time creating. For now, we’ve compiled this immense checklist to help writers, but the ultimate goal is to systemize and scale this process into a self-sustaining platform.

Two Possible Futures

This journey could take two paths. One option is to keep Teyara Press small, serving only a select few authors by invitation only. This would allow us to deliver high-touch, personalized services without scaling. The other option, if there’s significant interest, is to launch a Kickstarter campaign to systemize and scale Teyara Press into an accessible platform for all independent authors. By joining our waitlist or sharing your thoughts, you can help us decide which path to take. Your input will shape the future of Teyara Press.

Why Transparency Matters

We believe in full transparency. Teyara Press isn’t a polished product yet; it’s an idea in development. We’re using this website as a proposal, a way to gather insights from writers like you. Whether you’re a seasoned author or someone preparing to publish their first book, your feedback is invaluable. By being upfront about where we are and where we hope to go, we aim to build trust with our audience and ensure that Teyara Press grows into something truly meaningful—if there’s a need for it.
