Your expertise, made legible.
Lumigraph Press publishes coaches, consultants, and specialists. We turn the method you already practice into a finely made book, then build the system around it that brings you clients.
The premise
Most expert books sit unread on Amazon. A Lumigraph book arrives with everything it needs to find its reader and turn that reader into a client.
The book is the centerpiece. Around it we build your author website, a lead magnet drawn from the book, and a launch kit to announce it. One imprint, one standard, one finished body of work with your name on the spine.

How a book is made
Five stages, one standard
Founding authors
We publish a small number of authors each year. The founding list is open now.
The catalog
Books
Every title is produced to the same standard, from the first interview to the last line of the colophon. Each one belongs to its author.
The offer
One engagement. A book that works.
You bring what you know. We build the book and everything it needs to earn its place in your business. One flat fee, scoped to your practice, delivered as a finished whole.
The manuscript
Built from your own words through recorded interview sessions. Your stories, your method, your voice. We shape and edit it; the substance is always yours.
Editing
Structural, line, and continuity editing, plus a full read-through together before anything goes to print. Client stories are anonymized with care.
Design
Cover art direction and design, interior typesetting, and your book in print, hardcover or softcover, plus a Kindle edition.
Publication
An ISBN from the Lumigraph Press imprint, publication on Amazon under your own account, and your royalties paid directly to you.
Author website
A site built around your book, so every reader has a clear way to find you and start a conversation.
Lead magnet
A branded guide drawn from your book, connected to your website so readers become contacts.
Launch kit
Profile banners and ten launch posts with captions, designed from your book and delivered two weeks before launch day.
NFC business cards · Printed collateral · Additional editions, including audiobook · Additional lead magnets · Support after launch
For the first authors on the list, in exchange for a testimonial and case study rights.
The full engagement once the founding list closes.
At signing, at the manuscript milestone, and at launch. Flat fee, no surprises.
Ownership
Your book is yours. Completely.
Copyright
The copyright is held in your name. Lumigraph claims no ownership of your words, ideas, method, or stories.
Rights
Print, digital, audio, translation, and film rights all stay with you. We take no share of your royalties.
Files
On final payment, the finished cover and interior files are delivered to you for use with your book.
The imprint
We keep the Lumigraph name and mark, the ISBN as publisher of record, and permission to show your cover in our catalog.
The process
Five stages, one standard
About the press
Light, written down.
Lumigraph joins two old words: lumen, light, and graph, to write. The press exists to take what an expert knows on the inside and give it an outward form that others can hold, read, and act on.
Long before the press, there was a boy writing stories for an audience of one. He wrote them for the pleasure of watching an inner world take shape on the page, and that pleasure never left him.
Emanuel Rolon’s background is in art and industrial design, where every material, proportion, and detail has to justify its place in an object. He went on to design immersive digital experiences for brands, translating what a company believes into something people can step inside and feel. Lumigraph Press brings those disciplines back to where they began: the book.
The press began with his own. Writing The Inherited Script showed him how much of a professional’s best thinking stays trapped in conversation, and how much changes once it is bound, titled, and placed in someone’s hands. The first client came from a colleague who saw that book take shape and asked for the same.
Based in Houston, he works with authors in English and Spanish.
To make interior identity legible in outward form.
