It is one thing to write a book; and when you have your book it can seem quite impossible to find a publisher or agent to consider it if you are not an established writer, a celebrity cook, a pop star or a footballer.
This is where, as the UK's leading author funded publisher, we
come in. We publish a wide variety of books, and you are welcome
to browse our titles. If you publish with us, we provide editorial
input, art and graphic design and proof preparation to a high professional
standard. We list below a few points about which we are often asked:
We register copyright to your book, worldwide, in your name as the author, as soon as you sign a publication contract with us. This is very important; full intellectual property in your work remains yours exclusively.
Today, with the advent of digital printing, all of our books are
stored electronically within our printer's computer. Our wholesalers
call off stock of all of our books, directly from the printer's,
as they anticipate requirements. This means that we have no limitations
regarding print runs, and that we are never in the position of being
unable to satisfy demand.
Royalties are calculated on the sales figures supplied by our printers
and Amazon. These are paid on a twice yearly basis. We pay royalties
of 45% on net publisher's receipts, which is the figure that remains
after the retailers' discount and manufacturing costs have been
taken into account.
