From the first idea to publication – we guide you through the entire self-publishing process.
The publisher handles editing, cover design, marketing and distribution. Authors give up rights and receive only a share of revenues (royalties). Access is selective – publishers only publish a few manuscripts.
Agents pitch manuscripts to publishers. They increase the chances of a publishing deal but take commissions and tie the author into longer processes.
Distribution via wholesalers who buy books in bulk and deliver to bookshops. Suited to higher print runs and titles with stable demand – wholesalers don't accept every title.
Intermediaries between author and platforms. They often handle distribution to multiple shops simultaneously and offer services like ISBN assignment, billing and marketing support.
Books can be sold like any other product via the Amazon marketplace model. The author manages production, storage, shipping and marketing – for printed books only. The workload can be very high.
