ABOUT US

Created by Authors, For Authors

Dear Aspiring Author,

My journey to become an author started right where you are now… with the decision to become a self-published author. Over the years I’ve gone from selling workout plans on eBay to eventually selling hundreds of thousands of copies of my sports workout books. My success (and hard lessons) prompted me to create Gatekeeper Press in 2015.

My vision was to democratize publishing, offering authors full creative control. Unlike traditional publishers, we empower authors to retain 100% ownership and royalties, and give them global retail distribution without limiting sales or charging ongoing fees.

Today, we’ve helped over 2,800 people worldwide to become a self-published author and bring their dream book to life. Our commitment to quality, customer service, and a transparent business model has made Gatekeeper Press the trusted name in the industry.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your self-publishing journey, I encourage you to claim your free consultation. You’ll speak with myself, or my co-founder Tony Chellini.

To Your Success,

Rob Price

Hear From Our Happy Authors


My experience with Gatekeeper Press has been great. I worked with Angie, and she was very helpful and sorting out everything to get my activity book published. I think the quality is great and I am happy to work with them in the near future for another project.
Matt Schmidt

A big thank you to Gatekeeper Press. My Author Manager was by my side through each step of my publication journey. We worked closely with editors, formators and a remarkable illustrator. I greatly appreciated the exchange of thoughts and ideas. I also get to maintain 100% of my royalties. Proud to call them my publisher.
Christina Williamson

It is a luxury to work with Gatekeeper Press. My author manager helped me through the steps of cover design and interior formatting, provided many opportunities for review to be sure I was happy with how things looked, and the proof reader was well worth the extra cost. Gatekeeper handled the mysteries of copyrighting and obtaining an ISBN number, and soon the free author copies were in my hand. Thank you, Gatekeeper Press!
Chris Keats

Dialogues with the Wise Woman was not my first book, but it was my first novel. I chose Gatekeeper Press because of all the wonderful author testimonials I read. I was also impressed when I read that they will work with an author until he or she is completely satisfied with all aspects of their book. So I took the plunge.
Richard Devens

I was more afraid of publishing process than writing a book. Gatekeeper Press gave me wings.Currently writing my third book and cannot wait to publish it with Gatekeepers Press for a third time in two years. Gatekeeper Press is definitely keeping the gates open for me and I can not thank them enough 🙏🏻
Inna Tesler

I had the great pleasure of choosing Gatekeeper Press for my first self publishing experience. It was such an easy process and my author manager made me feel confident throughout. Thanks to the help of Jen Spampinato my book is finished and ready to launch! She went above and beyond professionalism. Anything in terms of editing or format and how the book itself looked, she took into her hands as if it was her own baby being birthed into creation.
