The team at CPM are experts in self-publishing. Whether you’re looking to produce a book of NZ non-fiction, your family history, a memoir or a coffee-table book for your company, we can help turn your publishing vision into reality.

We know the New Zealand publishing industry inside out, so we are well positioned to help bring your publishing plans to fruition. We’ll guide you through the entire process, from the moment you send us your manuscript right until your finished books are in your hands. We can even introduce you to key book distributors, who give booksellers the opportunity to choose to sell your book in bookshops if that’s part of your plan.

We’re as comfortable working with first-time authors as we are with corporates wanting to get their message out into the world in a lasting and cost-effective way. We can also put you in touch with a writer if you need someone to work alongside you to craft your story.

The strong relationships we’ve built with printers, distributors and retailers means we are able to produce your book to the highest production standards and at a competitive price. No matter what kind of book you want to produce, we have the skills and networks to help you get there.
