Our Story
Foglio started with a simple idea: give authors and publishers the royal treatment when it comes to self-publishing. We're book design nerds who love making customers happy, and we'll help you turn your manuscript into a real book – with as much or as little hand-holding as you want.
After years in the self-publishing world, we got fed up seeing authors get ripped off for ugly, amateur-looking books. So we created Foglio to make sure every self-published book looks as good as anything coming out of New York.
Sure, we do all the usual stuff – typesetting, ebooks, print management. But what we're really about is giving each project the TLC it deserves. We don't do cookie-cutter designs. Instead, we work with you to create a book that fits your vision and speaks to your readers. It's all about the little details that turn a manuscript into a gorgeous book worthy of your blood, sweat, and tears.
Look, publishing can be a nightmare. We get it. That's why we're here to make it actually fun and creative. Work with us, and you'll end up with a book you're dying to show off – whether it's your life story, the next great American novel, or that report that's going to wow the board.
We're not stopping here, either. As we keep growing, we're laser-focused on helping authors stand out in the Amazon jungle. And hey, if any big-shot publishers want top-notch design without the hassle, we're here for that too.
Our Mission
At Foglio, we're on a mission to revolutionize the world of book publishing. We believe that every author deserves a beautifully crafted book that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with traditionally published works. Our passion is to transform manuscripts into masterpieces through expert design, meticulous typesetting, and unwavering attention to detail.
We strive to make the publishing journey as rewarding as the destination. By offering white-glove service and fostering collaboration, we empower authors to realize their vision while benefiting from our expertise. Whether you're a first-time memoirist or a seasoned publisher, Foglio is committed to delivering innovative designs rooted in typographic tradition, ensuring your book not only meets but exceeds industry standards.
Our ultimate goal? To create books that authors are proud to share, readers are eager to explore, and that stand out in a crowded marketplace. At Foglio, we're not just designing books – we're crafting legacies, one page at a time.
A Word from the Founder
In speaking to authors at all levels of experience, we found that many struggled to find a self-publishing service that understood the significance of their work. After all, for many authors, finishing a book is one of the most significant events of their lives. A book is the culmination of an author’s dedication and expertise to a certain craft or industry, or a legacy they want to leave for their children and grandchildren. No matter the reason for finishing a book, it marks a significant moment in an author’s life that should be treated with reverence and professionalism.
As a self-published author myself, I understand an author’s needs more than most. I set out to make Foglio the one place where an author can submit their manuscript and rest assured that everything from design to print will be completed to the highest possible standard, with regular communication with their designer.
What we’ve built is the missing piece in the self-publishing industry. We recognize how important your book is to you, and we are committed to expertly guiding you through the entire publishing process.
Your satisfaction is our first priority, and I am confident Foglio can give you the best experience in the self-publishing industry.
