We can help you!

Publishing has changed a great deal over the past number of years and there is now a much greater emphasis on self-publishing, mainly because of the technology and the fact that the cost has been reduced dramatically.
In the traditional publishing model, a publishing house evaluates your book, accepts or rejects it for publication, and, if it is accepted, pays you an advance, (if you are lucky!), which allows them to take total control of the book, and then prints numbers of books for distribution to booksellers nationally or internationally – a process that can take years! The chances of books, especially from first-time authors, being accepted by traditional publishers, are remote at best.
The alternative is self-publishing – where you have total control of the process. That is where we come in – we are here to assist with the technicalities of getting your book into print on a self-publishing basis. We are not traditional publishers – even though we do publish books on behalf of authors under our imprints – we are instead a publishing facilitator, helping authors to self-publish and to get their books into print, whether it is under our imprint or the author’s own.
Even if books are published under our imprints, we never take ownership of these books – another big difference between us and traditional publishers – and the author is free to take it to another, more traditional, publisher at any time. As a consequence of that, we do not pay advances, nor do we get directly involved in marketing or the physical distribution of books. We simply do not have the resources for that, although we can assist. The onus is on the author to do those things.
We provide a menu of services to the independent or self-publishing author, and authors can choose from this menu. The diagram shows our menu of services.
