Types of Self-Publishing

Regardless of the subject matter, self-publishing a book makes it easier than ever to get your writing published. With the digital printing revolution, small printing runs and the experience of publication partners such as The Choir Press you can easily self publish poetry, a factual book, or the novel you always said you’d write.

Popular Types of Self-Publishing:

Here are a few kinds of self-publishing that we regularly handle:

•   Non-fiction – we’re experienced non-fiction publishers
•   Poetry – profound thoughts in small packages
•   Family history – we’re here to guide you every step of the way to publication
•   Novels – the story you’ve always wanted to tell

Publishing non-fiction

Many non-fiction publishers, including us, agree that self-publication of non-fiction is ideally suited to specialised, easily-targeted subject areas. If you have personal memoirs, specialised knowledge or a burning desire to write the ultimate ‘how to’ book on your specialist subject, non-fiction lends itself to the many advantages of self-publication – and it’s been one of our specialities for years.

Self-publish poetry

Because poetry is such a specialised niche area, some commercial publishers might see it as too risky, especially for a new writer. Maybe you’re frustrated by responses from the publishing Establishment, or you like the idea of ‘testing the waters’ with a few copies of your book? Either way, our experience of self publishing poetry could be the key to your dream coming true.

Publishing a novel

The novel is many people’s idea of ‘the book they’d like to write’. And as many aspiring novelists discover, getting published is a huge challenge. But it’s achievable with our help and guidance and can be a valuable stepping-stone on the path to recognition as an author. Even if you don’t see yourself as the next Nora Roberts or Michael Connelly, how about publishing your novel for family and friends?

We pay royalties on print on demand books monthly and because the royalty is calculated by using the trade cost of printing your book, you will receive a bigger royalty from us than under almost any other publishing arrangement.

Unlike some publishing companies, we offer a personal service. You will always be dealing with a named personal contact.
