Are You Looking to Publish a Book About Animals?
Writing, designing, and printing your book is easy with Happy Tails Books, and our expertise can save you money. We started out as a self-publishing operation, so we’re familiar with the challenges you face as an upcoming self-published author. During our first year, we published 13 high-quality books and eBooks, which taught us many lessons about what to do and what to avoid. All of our books, except for our free eBooks which are ineligible, maintain five-star ratings on Amazon.com. More and more authors are looking to Happy Tails Books for their dog book publishing and cat book publishing needs. We’re excited to help you on your way to a five-star rating by inviting you to take advantage of our experience and connections to cost-effectively publish your own pet-related books.

Pet Book Self-Publishing Testimonials:
“I was a very apprehensive novice author about to publish my first book, and then I found Happy Tails Book Publishing. I spoke to them and immediately felt confident that, with their help, I could be a successful author. Kyla Duffy, Editor-in Chief at Happy Tails Books, provided me with the support and guidance I needed to publish a picture book that has been very well received by both children and adults. Kyla did a great job editing my manuscript; she clarified my ideas but did not change the spirit of the story. She was also a source for technical advice regarding the images that made the book come alive. The layout was absolutely beautiful, and my books are always printed promptly on demand. My experience with Happy Tails Books couldn’t have been better; in fact, I am planning two more books for the upcoming year and would never consider working with anyone other than Kyla Duffy. From editing to technical expertise to layout, fulfillment, and even price, there is no company that could surpass Happy Tails Books. Thanks Happy Tails! I’m looking forward to working with you on many more projects in the future.” -Frances Smith, author of How I Became a Real Dog: A Picture Book by Phoebe
“When I wanted to publish my first book about my dog, I became frustrated because publishers were expensive and hard to contact. Then I found Happy Tails Books! Kyla was very helpful, easy to get in touch with, and had some great advice to share. The price of publishing with Happy Tails Books was the lowest that I had found anywhere. The final product looks great, and I’ve already sold more than I expected! I am now in the process of using them again to publish my second book. Thank you Happy Tails Books!” -Janelle Condra, author of Torii’s Adventures
