Your books printed

Our Gold package is based on print-on-demand technology which takes away the need to invest in, and store, a stock of books – when a copy is ordered, we print it. As part of the package we supply you with a dozen copies.
Bespoke cover design

We have an image library of over a million pictures that we can base your cover design around, or we can work from a picture supplied by yourself. For an extra cost we could even commission a bespoke cartoon picture or photo-realistic composition for you.
Interior page layout

We give your manuscript a thoroughly professional look, transforming your words into a print-ready book block, ready to go.
Proof reading

For a thorough check of the spelling, punctuation and grammar, we can offer a proofreading service which also looks at flow and continuity. Price on application if not part of your chosen package.
ISBN number

An ISBN number is the mechanism that the book trade uses to contact the publisher/distributor. If you acquire your own, you will find you can only get them in batches of ten, at £100. Our package includes your own, unique number.
Web Page

As part of our Gold package, we will set up a web page offering your book for sale and fulfill those orders. Your book will also be available through all of the established bookselling websites, worldwide. We can create custom websites for an additional charge.
P.O.D. Availability

Instead of having to invest in, and store, a large stock of books, print-on-demand means no wastage. Whenever an order is placed, we print and dispatch that copy, using the customer’s payment to fund the printing and paying you a royalty as well.
Legal deposit Copyrighting

It is a legal requirement to send a copy of every new book to the British Library and advisable to send copies to five other deposit libraries. Our Gold package includes printing and dispatching all of those copies.
Publicity Material

We can supply posters, flyers, postcards and bookmarks to help promote your book. For a quote, please feel to let us know which you would like and how many of each.
Marketing Campaign

Press coverage can be worth its weight in gold and if you feel uncomfortable about doing it or unable to, we can carry out a press/publicity campaign for you. Price on application.

Why go for the Gold package?

You have completed your book. It is the best book you could possibly have written.

Now you want people to be able to buy it. By that, you don’t mean your own circle of friends and relatives and the customers of your local bookshop. You want it available across the country and, indeed, the whole world.

Just imagine - your book is available to order by anyone who walks into their local Waterstone’s in Wigan or Barnes & Noble in Baltimore. It is displayed on every book selling website – in the English language, French, German, even Japanese – throughout the whole planet.

Thanks to digital technology, there is no longer any need to have a massive stock printed and stored (undoubtedly at a massive price) ready to fulfil those orders. We use print-on-demand technology to supply your customers with their copies of your book, using their money to pay for the printing. It only takes a few days to have their own individual copy printed especially for them. And the best thing is, not only do you not have to pay in advance to have those copies printed, we pay you a royalty on every sale!

You will receive 12½% of the net receipts (what is left after the bookseller has had their share) from every sale. Please don’t think we’re greedily keeping 87½% - most of that is taken up by printing and despatching the copy.

If you take out our Gold package, it will include cover design and page lay-out to give your book that thoroughly professional look and feel to it.

It includes:

An ISBN number
Legal deposit
Bespoke cover design
Page layout
A web page that can accept orders for your book, which we’ll fulfil
Fifty promotional postcards to send out
A dozen copies of the book for yourself.
Availability through the book trade

All of that for just £499! It’s very tempting, isn’t it?

After the first year there is an annual subscription of £25 for each subsequent year you wish to keep the book available.
