What You Need To Know About Working With Book Publishing Services

By Helen Fisher


Aspiring writers should know that the publishing industry has grown increasingly smaller over the years. Apart from a handful of struggling, little literary publishers, there is a very limited number of actual publishing houses. Consolidation has left this industry without a ton of competition. This is one of many reasons why people are opting to work with independent book publishing services instead.

Also referred to as on-demand printing, these companies are capable of printing new titles according to the demands of the related market. As such, there is never any fear of wasting monies on copies that are not going to sell. Authors always have the option of placing new orders, only when readers have expressed real interest in their work.

From the prospective of an author, this is the most expedient way to become published when no agencies or publishing houses have shown any interest in a particular title. Printers and agents tend to place the majority of their focus on best-selling authors who have already proven their ability build large readerships and turn significant profits. As an unknown, breaking into this industry is constantly become more challenging.

When hiring these entities, you must note that they are not going top offer the exact same range of services that can be found through a more traditional service. As an example, marketing is something that you are going to have to handle by yourself. A lot of these companies do not offer this support for free.

Service options might exist that provide added marketing support for a charge. These are usually available at reasonable prices. When using this support, you may be given access to a vast network of contacts for setting up readings, promotional events and other sales efforts.

Another type of support that authors are not getting when using these services is cover design. Designing a quality cover is a critical step in ensuring that your book generates a lot of attention. You will have to hire an artist or graphic artist on your own. You will also have to mesh out the way in which this professional will be compensated for his work, whether as part of an upfront payment or in royalties like you.

Learn what you will be charged by a provider before making any commitment to receiving services. Los of companies charge just one upfront price for their help. Others are going to require you to pay a small percentage of your sales profits. If you can find a reasonable rate, either type of service could be right for you.

See whether digital formatting is available in conjunction with physical printing solutions. This is certainly important to do if your audience is in large part committed to using e-readers for their books. For an added costs, many service providers will handle this formatting and can even distribute the resulting work across a variety of appropriate platforms.

You have to learn more about what other writers have to say about different companies ahead of choosing one to use. This way, you can know more about the quality of results that an entity is capable of providing and whether or not it will prove financial worthwhile to use these agencies. When people have very negative or positive outcomes, they usually post a lot of helpful insights on the web.
