1 Writing

We make thinking and learning visible and permanent as we bring your word to the world. With our ability to express and refine your ideas, let us write your book.



2 Book Editing

Never allow your readers to comment when they see that typo. Even the world’s best writers have their manuscripts edited several times. From spelling, sentence structure, the works! A thoroughly edited work rids us of the embarrassment of promoting an imperfect book.

Making it suitable for publication, BOOK EDITING is the method of improvising your writing style as it adheres to the standard style guide. Making the writing a lot clear, concise, and reader-friendly. Editing polishes everything in the manuscript.

Aimed at improving the overall structure and quality of the manuscript, or that extra set of eyes to catch typos and the odd sloppy sentence. Editing a book varies based on a few factors.

It’s all about the quality of the manuscript. Some require more work than others to produce a professional, ready-to-publish piece. There are different types of editing depending on what your manuscript needs:

  • Editorial Assessment
  • Line Edit
  • Copyediting
  • Proofreading

Editiorial Assessment
€500 / 50,000 words manuscript and €0.7 per words after

With EDITORIAL ASSESSMENT, our in-house editor assesses your manuscript to see if your manuscript is all ready for distribution and is marketable. The work is needed as it provides an objective assessment of the book’s weakness and strengths with an honest and forthright perspective on the book’s effectiveness and in what ways that it might be improved.

An editor that works for you! Our editors steers you to the right direction for your own best interest.

Line Editing

Line editing addresses your writing style and language use on the sentence and paragraph level. Addressing structural issues, the same as a critiquing, the purpose of a line edit isn’t to comb your manuscript for errors but rather, a line edit focuses on the approach you employ to communicate your story to the reader.

Your text should be correct, consistent, clear, concise, and comprehensible.

Proofreading

Proofreading is the final work against errors. It is not just looking for typos and misplaced punctuation in the text but also searches for layout issues like page numbering, consistency with headings, placement of tables of figures in the text, bad line or page breaks, and more. Proofreaders catch all the mistakes the copyeditor missed.

5 Printing

We are always honest about the costs of print-on-demand and that you can choose your suggested retail price with it in mind.

For distribution, the distributor charges to print and fulfill orders from the retailers, it is ‘free’ in the sense it doesn’t require cash upfront as the customer pays for the printing and fulfillment in the retail price they pay when purchasing your book.

We partner with printers located within Scandinavia, and around the world. We have options for printing anywhere from a single copy to thousands at low cost. For some print-on-demand costs, and the associated royalties contact us.

6 Royalties

We offer two main streams of distribution, Managed Distribution, and Direct Distribution. With assisted self-publishing, you earn much, much higher royalties than in traditional publishing. Every time a bookstore buys your book for resale, or people buy your book from an online retailer like Amazon.com, you earn a royalty.

With Direct Distribution, this option gives you control of managing all of your different accounts so you can log in to each account and make changes whenever you feel the need. Offering 100% royalties, this option puts you in control.

Managed Distribution, is just as exciting. We will set your book up for distribution with all of the important channels for you. Instead of managing lots of accounts, you just have your us your account where we will consolidate information for you, and make it all easily accessible in one place. This option lets you sit back and relax with 70% royalties.

Our assisted option puts a great level of work on us, instead of you. This can be a great option for you who do not have the time to manage multiple accounts and keep up with the agreements of all of the different accounts. Setting authors 85-100% of the net sales revenues means we are neutral when it comes to distribution.

We do provide wholesalers with a discount. For most books we publish you can choose between the following discount options:
55 %
40 %
30 %

With Amazon.com, you can set the discount at 30% instead of 55%. So, for a book that costs €3 to print and is priced at €20, if the seller takes 30% (€6) then you as the author would be left with the other 70% (€14), minus the €3 cost of printing. Your profit would be €11 per sale.





7 Distribution

By self-publishing with us, you’re giving your book the best chance of reaching that much-needed global readers.

Distribution used to be a major challenge for self-published authors. As authors would spend weeks, months, even years writing their book, they would have no way to get it into bookstores and libraries.

By just publishing with us, you can receive the same book distribution channels available to major traditional publishers. The Publishing makes titles available to 39,000 retailers, libraries, schools, and
e-commerce companies including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indigo, Foyles, Apple, and more.

We do everything for you. We process the printing and fulfilling orders, collecting payment, and shipping the books to customers or booksellers who act as middlemen. We make your book available to the public. This can include publishing your book in paperback, hardcover, and/or as an eBook, and making the book available to retail channels where people typically go to buy books.

Our print-on-demand systems allow the print edition of your book to be listed for sale with major online retailers like Amazon.com, Chapters.com, and BarnesandNoble.com.

Currently, a handful of eBook formats dominate the marketplace. For eBooks, there are no major barriers to having your book published alongside bestselling authors.
