Just like Mount Rushmore immortalized history, we immortalize words. Our mission? To make sure your book doesn’t just exist—it leaves an impact.
For over 40 years, Rushmore Publishers has been at the forefront of traditional and periodical publishing, ensuring powerful voices were heard and immortalized in print. But time evolves, and so does the industry. The era of traditional gatekeeping is over—now, authors deserve control, visibility, and the best shot at success.
That’s why Rushmore Publishers has pivoted into a high-impact hybrid self-publishing powerhouse, empowering authors with complete ownership of their work, full royalties, and a marketing engine built for success.
Our publishing model is simple: We combine the best of traditional publishing with the freedom of self-publishing. That means you retain your rights, royalties, and creative vision while we handle the heavy lifting—editing, formatting, publishing, distribution, and marketing your book worldwide.
To empower authors and amplify diverse voices by making high-quality, impactful books accessible to readers everywhere, inspiring knowledge, creativity, and lifelong learning across the globe.
The publishing world is crowded with traditional gatekeepers, overpriced vanity presses, and ineffective self-publishing routes—but Rushmore Publishers is a game-changer. We take the best of traditional publishing (professionalism, bookstore placement, & marketing power) and merge it with self-publishing freedom (100% royalties, full ownership, & creative control).
Unlike traditional publishers, we ensure your book remains yours. You keep full rights, control, and profits—because you wrote it, you should own it.
Your book deserves more than a dusty corner of Amazon. We publish on Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Walmart, Kobo, Google Books, Goodreads, and even physical bookstores.
Publishing isn’t enough—marketing is the game-changer. We don’t just upload your book and hope for sales.
At Rushmore Publishers, we don’t treat you like just another manuscript. We treat you like a future bestselling author.

New authors generally have three main publishing paths: traditional publishing, self-publishing, and publisher partnership programs.
Traditional publishing houses acquire manuscripts and pay authors advances, but acceptance rates are highly competitive. Major traditional publishers include companies such as Penguin Random House and HarperCollins.
Self-publishing allows authors to publish independently through platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, where the author manages editing, design, and promotion.
Rushmore’s Author Partnership model combines professional publishing support with author ownership and involvement in the publishing process.
Rushmore Publishers is a publishing and marketing agency that works with authors to bring their books to market and introduce them to readers worldwide.
For decades, Rushmore has been connected to the publishing world, supporting writers and helping ideas reach print. As the industry evolved, the company adopted a modern publishing partnership model that gives authors greater control over their work while still benefiting from professional publishing guidance.
Today, Rushmore Publishers focuses on helping authors publish their books, retain ownership of their work, and reach a global audience through modern publishing and marketing strategies.
The Rushmore Author Partnership Program is a publishing initiative designed to support authors through the full book development process.

Ownership of intellectual property depends on the publishing agreement. Many partnership publishing arrangements allow authors to retain ownership of their manuscript while working with a publisher for professional production and distribution support.Authors should review publishing agreements carefully to understand rights, royalties, and distribution terms.
