Publish Your Children’s Book With Transcend Studio
You’ve written the story. We’ll help the world fall in love with it.
Be Part of the Beginning
Transcend Studio is a new publishing house—but that’s exactly what makes this moment so special. We’re not weighed down by outdated systems or bloated overhead. We’re fresh, agile, and hungry to prove what’s possible in children’s publishing.
When you partner with us, you’re not just another author in a crowded lineup—you’re one of the first voices shaping something bigger. Together, we’ll build a community, a catalog, and a movement that redefines what children’s books can be.
This isn’t just publishing. It’s the start of something big—and you’ll be able to say you were there from day one.
Who We Are?
We’re Transcend Studio, a husband-and-wife team who’ve been creating children’s art for nearly ten years and focused on children’s literature for the last six. In that time, we’ve:
-
Helped self-published authors bring nearly 20 children’s books to life
-
Read over 1,000 children’s books to study what works (and what doesn’t)
-
Built a community of 50K+ readers on Facebook
We’re artists, storytellers, and marketers rolled into one—and we treat every project as if it were our own.

Understanding Your Publishing Options
Not all publishing paths are created equal. Here’s a quick breakdown:
Traditional Publishing
You submit to big publishers or agents, compete with thousands, and if accepted, they cover the costs. But they also control your story, your rights, and most of your royalties.
Vanity Publishing
You pay a company to print your book—usually at a steep price. They’ll deliver boxes of books to your door, but offer little to no marketing, distribution, or long-term support.
Hybrid Publishing
A mix of the two—you pay to publish, but they share royalties. Sounds good in theory, but many hybrids charge high fees, outsource the art, and move on quickly after launch.
Collaborative Publishing (Our Model)
We partner with you. We’re the artists, marketers, and publishers in one. That means lower costs, higher royalties, and a long-term relationship built to help your book succeed in the real market. From design to launch events to distribution—we do it all, together.
