About Us



Park Cities Publishing began life as a division of a printing company with years of experience putting self-published books together for professors, doctors, lawyers, business professionals and aspiring writers.

Sometime around 2007, print customers began coming in with tales of being asked to spend (or having already spent!) up to $12,000 or more with online publishers. As printers, we knew that was a darned big number to only walk away with cover art, an interior layout and maybe 10 books of your own to sell. Not only did we know we could do better, we felt it was a moral obligation to make sure authors would (a) have a high-quality product, (b) have enough books to actually sell at a profit, and (c) not lose their shirt in the process.

Under the guidance of Mary Beth Smith as Publisher, PCpub quickly became a resource for:
  • Consulting
  • Editing
  • Ghostwriting
  • Book layout & design
  • eBook conversion
  • Book marketing 
  • Common sense
  • Kind yet firm advice
When Mary Beth retired in 2016, she brought PCpub with her, and now focuses full time on the exciting self-publishing industry. As an industry veteran, MB has a deep and unique background in putting together all the parts and pieces of publishing. Comprehensive products and services include:
  • Print books, both hard cover and soft cover
  • eBooks
  • All types of binding, including Smyth sewn
  • Distribution, including Amazon
  • Book Marketing & Publicity
We are, without a doubt, a better way to publish.
