Define “Xlibris.”

Xlibris came from the Latin term “ex libris,” which means “from the library of.” We are a publishing services provider. With us, you are the publisher, and we act as a "back office" that handles the design and layout of your book. We fulfill your book orders while calculating and issuing royalties. We also provide marketing, editorial, and distribution support.

How old do I have to be to publish my book with you?

You can be of any age to publish with us! (But if you’re not yet an adult, you’ll have to ask a parent or legal guardian to co-sign some documents for you.)

"Not only am I happy with the process (and the finished product), I actually selected WestBow over and above an offer I had from a traditional publishing house, because I liked the support I was offered, as well as the control I maintained! this is a fabulous way to publish! I will do it again, and I will recommend it to others."

- Rhonda K. Kindig, author of

"The book cover I received from the cover designers is absolutely breath-taking. I found the design team to be professional, helpful and honest. Based on my experience with the design team, I will definitely come back to WestBow Press for any future work I publish."

- Lynnda Ell, author of
Changing Me, Change the World

"I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for a job well done and for the entire team working on my book. WestBow Press is a top notch organization which should make the parent company Thomas Nelson Publishers very proud. Thank you for bringing WestBow Press to fruition - congratulations on an excellent organization filled with God-loving people."
