Where do I start? Maybe you have visions of earning a living by writing and becoming a well known author. Or maybe you’ve written a book that you are proud of, your autobiography, family history, novel or similar, and you just want to get it into print? We all have a book inside of us, and getting it published is a way of achieving immortality of a sort! Holding that book in your hands, seeing it in the local bookshop or for sale on Amazon – the feelings of pride and satisfaction must be like looking at your newborn baby. Getting your book published has never been easier, but first some words of warning: go about it the wrong way and you can waste a lot of time and money. We help you avoid the pitfalls. We provide personal service and aim to make the process simple, clear and reliable. If your aims are modest, i.e. just getting your work published, a hundred copies at home distributed or sold to family and friends, and seeing online sales at Amazon, then we can deliver to your expectations! If you believe that your new work is so good that you’ll soon sign up an agent, get the book produced by Random House, Simon & Schuster or similar, and be a rich writer, well, good luck to you. If it happens be sure to let me see the book! Things have never been tougher for traditional book publishing companies. As a new unknown author, you face an uphill battle. It’s the old chicken-and-egg problem: a Publishing House only wants you when you’ve proved you can write best sellers, but you can’t become a best selling author until you’ve been published. You have to invest some time and money into getting your book self-published and proving you can generate sales. Then, maybe, someone will talk to you. Thankfully, it has become easier to bypass the Publishing Houses and get into print. With the internet, publishing software, and short-run print companies, we have the path to get you into print. When we say “print”, you naturally think of a printed book you can hold in your hand. But we can add to that. Electronic books or e-books are a growing segment of the market and much cheaper to produce. Young people these days are reading fewer printed books and reading more online. Extrapolate that trend and you can understand why Publishing Houses are finding that their businesses are declining. As a new writer, you will gain a larger audience by making your book available as an e-book as well as a paper book. Both can be made available online at Amazon and other online book publishers such as www.ereader.com Even if you get a Publishing House interested, it comes as a surprise to learn how slow they are! You want your book to be published next month, whereas they may be talking about two or three year’s time! They already have a pipeline of books for release and yours goes at the end of the queue. If they are talking about taking two years, why wait? Your book could be out next month and generating sales. By the time two years have passed you could have generated sales, have a fan base and published another book or two. We can help you get published the modern way, offering everything from arranging simple book printing, delivered to you, through to a complete design, layout and publishing service. Your book can optionally be made available to any bookstore that wishes to carry it, and available for purchase online through Amazon and other online bookstores. How do you get started?
