Publishing

Affordable Self-publishing Services

I can help you self-publish your manuscript via your own Amazon KDP platform (I'll guide you through opening up a publishing account if you don't already have one - it's linked to your regular Amazon account).

I can:

  • Format your manuscript for paperback and Kindle.
  • Register the title, author, ISBN, key words, etc.
  • Design a bespoke cover (front/back and spine).
  • Download and publish completed print-ready files (body, cover) and then publish in both paperback and Kindle to the global Amazon KDP platform. Amazon Print on Demand books are available in 13 countries worldwide - Paperback: USA, UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, SWEDEN, FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN, JAPAN, POLAND, NETHERLANDS and Kindle: USA,UK, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, FRANC, SPAIN, ITALY, NETHERLANDS, JAPAN, BRAZIL, MEXICO, INDIA.

Once your title is published I then hand the Amazon account back to you, so you get paid royalties directly from Amazon every month - I don't have any further access to your account. You earn 100% royalties on every unit you sell. You can also order up to 999 author copies at any one time direct from Amazon at cost (roughly 50-60% of the retail value) for you to sell, giveaway, etc.

I have published over 100 titles for other people!

Just a few examples below. 

If you decide to go ahead I will need:

  • The completed manuscript.
  • Title (subtitle) and author's name exactly as you'd like it registered.
  • The blurb for the back, and for Amazon book's description.
  • The author's bio.
  • An author's picture for the back (optional, but quite a few books do have the author on the back cover).
  • Any extra pages, eg foreword, dedication page, acknowledgments etc.
  • An idea for the cover image/design, or your own image (at 300 dpi please for paperback publishing).

Depending upon your manuscript, and any extra work that needs to be done to get it publisher-ready, prices start from just £150.00 for chapbooks / shorter collections of up to around 50 pages, and £250.00 (GBP), for collections between 50 and 150 pages. This is for both paperback and Kindle versions, and includes the cover! Contact me for larger collections / multiple collections / and / or prose only manuscripts. In terms of turnaround, depending upon the status of your manuscript, and your requirements for the cover etc, you could probably have a book through your letterbox in a couple of weeks from the go ahead!

Questions? Contact me for further details.

Also, contact me if you just need a cover designed (front/back/spine).

Promoting Your Book

Despite what many self-publishers think, you can't just publish a book and expect it to miraculously sell! Before your book is due for release, you should start preparing your marketing and promotional strategy, and build an online platform for your book.
