Two bad deals — and a better one

Most authors choose between two compromises: pay a premium to a vanity press — or upload to KDP and do everything alone.

We built a third path: professional publishing support without giving up ownership.

You keep the book. We help you make it great. Self-publishing done the right way.

Everything our service covers

Refine the manuscript

Editing that strengthens clarity, flow, and argument — without rewriting your voice.

Design the book

Professional interior and cover design that gives your ideas the presentation they deserve.

Prepare it for the world

Keep ownership

Everything is delivered to you. Rights, royalties, files — yours.

Freedom books

Konsensus freedom books Konsensus freedom books

We are experts in the freedom niche. We don't just pick authors from this niche for fun — we know it inside out, with years of experience, deep networks, and a real understanding of the issues you write about. Your book is with people who already live these ideas.

We work with a limited number of authors

Konsensus is for you if…

  • You care deeply about your book and want to see it done properly.
  • You write about freedom, economics, sovereignty, or ambitious ideas (fiction too!).
  • You want to retain ownership and make decisions for the long term.
  • You want to create something that outlasts launch week.

Probably not a fit if…

  • You are not looking to elevate your book to the next level.
  • You want a traditional publisher who pays royalties, handles publicity, and does all marketing for you.
  • Your book is boring (we'll let you know!)

Before you apply

Why is it application-only?

We take a limited number of books so each one gets the full treatment. The application lets us give you an accurate quote and make sure we're the right home for your book.

Do I really keep 100% of the rights and royalties?

Yes — on this service. You pay us to publish your book, you own it outright, forever, and we take no cut of it. You're the publisher of record by default. (Our own imprint is a separate arrangement: there we carry the costs and split royalties with the author. This page is the paid service.)

What's actually included?

Exactly what we agree in your order confirmation — every project is scoped in writing before you commit, so there are never surprises. The list above shows the shape of a typical €5,000 project to give you an idea: at the starting price, manuscript work means light proofreading rather than deep editing. Printing, marketing, and translation are à-la-carte additions you choose.

What if I want to publish anonymously (non-KYC)?

Yes — we support all authors, and sometimes all we know about them is their email. In cases like these, we can become your proxy publisher. You can always order off the menu; everything has a price.

How is this different from a vanity press?

Vanity presses charge €15,000+, often take a cut of your book, and publish anything. We're selective, cost a fraction, and you keep everything.

My manuscript isn't finished — can I still apply?

Yes. Apply at any stage, from an idea to a finished draft — we can provide what you need.

How long does it take?

Most books go from manuscript to market in under three months.
