Author Services
We are an established company providing authors with an effective way to display their work to publishers and hopefully gain a lucrative publishing deal. The Internet has fast become a cost-effective and efficient way to advertise a product or service and we have developed our service to take full advantage of everything the Internet has to offer.
We provide a dedicated service, working for you. A service that provides an efficient way to reach publishers, with no commission or royalty ties. Our service includes publishing a synopsis and 1st chapter (or up to 5,000 words) on our website. Publishers and agents have access to a secure area of the website which will give them extra important information about you and your book. Once you have set up an account (through the ‘Login’ area of the website,) you will be able to upload your manuscript(s) and select which publishers you wish to submit your work to. Selected publishers are automatically notified about your manuscript(s) and they will be able to view and evaluate your work. You will be notified by e-mail when a publisher or agent has viewed your work and they will be able to contact you direct, should they wish to receive additional chapters, or indeed a complete manuscript. You will be able to login to your private account area of the website, where you will be able to see an up to the minute status of your account at any time. This will allow you to see which publishers are interested in your work. It will also allow you to make any changes to your manuscript, or select additional publishers or literary agents to submit to.
We suggest that your manuscript(s) remain listed for 3 months to allow publishers time to evaluate your work and to respond should they wish to. After this time your manuscript will become ‘public’, where it will be seen on the public side of the website. This will allow readers to read and comment on your work. This provides you with an invaluable source of information and allows you to make any alterations and improvements to the book, thus helping to improve your chances of success. Publishers tend to sit up and take more notice of a book if there have been a number of positive comments received.
We would be delighted to receive your work for publication. We charge a one-off registration fee of £10 for registering and setting up an author account on the website, plus an additional £5 for each publisher/agent you select. Should your work be published at any time, we do not take a commission or royalty payment. Your work can remain listed for up to 12 months, without further cost. Compare this to the cost of submitting your work, in hard copy, by registered post, to several publishers and then having to wait, without any response or feedback.
Should you be unable to set up an account or upload any material for whatever reason, or you may not wish to deal direct with publishers, please do not hesitate to contact us as we will be able to set up and administer an account on your behalf. (there will be an additional charge for this service.)
We believe Books4publishing offers authors a unique service and hope that you choose to submit your work to us. We promise you the highest level of service and support at all times. Our aim is simple, to ensure you and your work are given the best possible chance of success.
