Types of Self-Publishing
Publishing Non-Fiction
From memoirs and family histories to how-to guides, self-publishing built around your specialist subject.
Keys to success
What makes non-fiction work
From thousands of titles across a myriad of subjects, we’ve learned which factors help a non-fiction book find and satisfy its readers.
A unique perspective
Expertise in a particular field, or a fresh angle on a subject only you can write about.
Authoritative writing
A confident style, good editing and thorough proofing that readers can trust.
An easily targeted market
A relatively small, well-defined readership you can reach with focused, persistent promotion.
As experienced non-fiction publishers, The Choir Press understands the many opportunities for self-publishing non-fiction, particularly if you are writing for a specialised market. Although non-fiction encompasses such a wide range of book types, from histories and biographies to textbooks and technical publications, we’ve probably got experience of working with your publishing genre. As experienced non-fiction book publishers, whether you’re documenting your family history or want to market a ‘how-to’ guide on Amazon, we’ll demystify self-publishing for you.
Keys to Successful Non-Fiction Publishing
From years of work with publishers of non-fiction (and thousands of books on a myriad of diverse topics), we know how the following factors are vital to successfully launch titles in this area:
- Supportive staff who are experienced working with non-fiction publishers
- A unique perspective on a particular subject
- Authoritative writing style, good editing and thorough proofing
- Expertise in a particular field
- A relatively small, easily targeted market segment
- Persistence and effective promotion
- One-stop access to a full package of printing and publishing services
A great foundation for success
As with any publishing venture, there are few guaranteed routes to commercial success. What we know from experience is that if you can combine the foregoing elements with a book that inspires your target readership you’ll have a great foundation for the results you desire. With the book that only you can write, and our printing and publishing expertise, you could be onto a winner.
