Publisher Name

If you decide to self publish, then you are, in essence, creating your own new publishing company. Consider the name for your publishing company carefully.

While there is no “business name registry”, you will want to check to see if the name you want to use is already being used. An easy way to do that is with a Google search, or by looking up the domain name to see if it is still available. You can also check your state’s database of corporate names.

You will probably want to create a simple logo for that name to place on the back cover, spine and on the title page of your book, as is traditionally done. You may want to consider trademarking your name and logo and getting the Internet domain names for the author name, book title and the publishing company name.
