- Your books printed
Our Platinum package includes 250 copies of your book for you to distribute along with using the print-on-demand system which means 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.
- 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
We will give your manuscript a thorough examination, checking not only for spelling, grammar and punctuation but also flow, continuity and any potential legal issues there may be. (Only valid for a maximum of 100,000 words)
- 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 Platinum 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
As part of the Platinum package, we supply you with a comprehensive promotional pack including 20 x A3 posters, 200 x A5 flyers and 50 x A6 postcards to help you with publicity.
- Marketing Campaign
To ensure maximum publicity for your book, we will create a press release to herald the launch of your book and send it, along with a copy of the book, to up to 20 branches of the media.
Why go for the Platinum package?
The crème de la crème. Our executive package provides everything you could possibly want once your book is complete.
Creating your book has probably taken many a late night, caused all sorts of nervous tension and now that it has finished you are quite probably exhausted by the process.
So let us take it to the waiting world.
We will carry out a marketing campaign to alert the press and encourage them to write or broadcast glowing reviews of your book. And we will make it available through every reputable book shop and bookselling website not just in the UK but across the whole world.
Just imagine - your book could be ordered by anyone who walks into their local bookshop, whether it is in Boston, England or Boston, Massachusetts. 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 Platinum package, it will include thorough proofreading, 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, a web page that can accept orders for your book, which we’ll fulfil, an extensive array of promotional posters, flyers and postcards to send out and 250 copies of the book for yourself.

- 250 copies of the book for yourself
