Author Services and Book Publishing
We handle the complete job of publishing your book, from editing and design to printing and distribution. We work with you every step of the way to ensure your book looks exactly as you envisioned it. Our mission is to provide you with the services and expertise to make your book the best it can be at the most reasonable price available on comparable packages.
We began our publishing venture in late 2002 and published our first three books in the Showtime Series for young adults with a run of 500 copies of each. Encouraged by our success, we later rewrote them into a new series, the Doubletree Kids Series. We currently have five titles available in this series with another in editing.
We offer our experience and expertise as authors, editors and publishers to other authors who have the desire to introduce their manuscript to the reading public as a POD publication.
We set high standards for ourselves and for our clients because we believe in quality. A book published by OP will meet or exceed industry standards with top grade paper and an original four-color glossy cover. You will receive professional editing and personal guidance through the entire process.

If your book is published by Omega Publications, you will be proud of it and so will we. We've said it before, but we'll say it again. We don't publish junque, no matter how you spell it. Reputation is very important and we want our authors to be able to depend on ours. When we tell you your work needs editing, don't take offense, nothing personal is implied. The fact is, it's a rare piece that does not need professional help in several areas.
While we focus on three main genres and their offshoots: Mystery/Thrillers, Young Adult, and Historical Fiction. We have also accepted books in the non-fiction category. We'll consider any well-written story and are interested in adding new categories.
We do not publish books we deem pornographic or sexually explicit, nor do we consider books that promote hatred or violence on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation or nationality, or subject matter we deem prurient or objectionable. Editor's decision is final.
