Yes. Defining Moments Press, Inc. is a US-based company that works with authors all over the world. It says books can be published in 87 countries using major publishers, and its course materials, tutorials, and email support are delivered online, so location is not a barrier.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Defining Moments Press states that results are not guaranteed or typical, and that a lot of hard work is involved. Case studies on its website show what some clients achieved, such as one client who sold over 10,000 books, but your results depend on your effort, your book, and your business.
