About

Publishing isn't just a business to us. It's personal.


It's easy to get lost in the complexities of publishing. Too many people spend thousands of dollars going down the wrong pubishing path. Not knowing how to use the many options available, they end up frustrated and in the wrong place.

As a contemporary publishing services company, we help authors self-publish professionally and offer coaching and consulting services.



Our free PDF "Steps to Publishing a Book" provides your blueprint for success.

A message from Gail Woodard, Publisher & CEO

As an author myself, I know how daunting a book project can be. I spent years as a strategic planner, marketer, and educator. For the past fifteen years, I've coached and guided both our authors and our team of professionals here at Dudley Court Press. I've been personally involved with every book project and author. If we work together, I'll keep an eye on your ultimate goals and we'll work together to create practical solutions for acheiving them.

My job is to help people like you to focus on strategic book development and marketing so that your book experience is satisfying and your book makes a difference.

We don't work with every author who knocks on our doors. We're selective. We work on meaningful books written by interesting authors. We want to help thoughtful people change the world through the books they write.

I look forward to learning more about your book project.

—Gail Woodard
