Fancy giving self-publishing a go but can't afford it?
Fancy giving self-publishing a go but don't know how to do it?
Fancy giving self-publishing a go - FULL STOP?
Well, you have found the company where that pipe dream can become a reality:
'Self-Publish-For-FREE' from BrightSpark.
Our experienced team will take you and your raw manuscript and turn IT into a book that will delight and surprise you in equal measure, and YOU into a fully fledged author and publisher, which will delight and surprise you AND your friends even more!
And it won't cost you a penny of your own money - it will even MAKE YOU MONEY (see TERMS below).
In short, your pride and joy will:
· Be allocated one of our BrightSpark Publishing ISBNs so it can be registered with all the appropriate authorities and therefore available to anyone worldwide (but see NOTE below).
· Have its own website (name of your choice, if available) where you can sell direct to the world and his neighbour via PayPal!
· Be available on all the main online bookshops - such as www.Amazon.co.uk, and www.WHSmith.co.uk - as well as our own bookselling site - www.bargainbooksonline.co.uk (currently within Amazon but soon to be hosted by Gardners) - and our own publishing website - www.brightsparkpublishing.co.uk.
· Be published as an e-book - via Amazon's Kindle, Smashwords' numerous e-formats and soon Kobo.
· Be registered with all the major wholesale companies - Gardners, Bertrams, Bookspeed, etc.
· Have a barcode generated from the ISBN and placed on the cover so that traditional bookshops can sell it over the counter, and any distributor can keep track of it (a service that many self-publishing websites charge for).
· Have a specially designed full colour wraparound cover – i.e. NOT based on a template; your ideas on how that should look are welcomed not ignored (a service that most self-publishing websites charge for).
· Be professionally edited – NOT just proofread for spelling mistakes but completely edited! – by a university-trained editor with years of experience (a service that other charge an arm, leg and a slice of your spleen for!).
· Be professionally set-up and paginated (yet another service that many self-publishing websites charge for).
· And then printed – nay, metamorphosed! – into an A5 (trimmed) or A4 (trimmed) paperback book (whichever is appropriate).
· And you will also get a FREE AI (Advance Information) Pack for you to start promoting your magnus opus! The Pack includes Full colour A3 and A4 posters, mono A5 flyers, colour business cards – and even some bookmarks based on the cover as freebies for customers! (A service that many self-publishing websites don’t supply AT ALL!)
All for FREE!
All you have to do is write the book (already done that?) and then sell it with all your might: which is what SELF-publishing is all about!
NOTE: we will supply an ISBN FREE if that's what you want, but if you want your own imprint name and ISBN allocation, you will have to pay the ISBN Agency the current fee - about £120. We can go through that procedure for you as a gesture if you wish - but you have to pay the fee, of course. If you do that you can choose the imprint name, we will design a logo FREE, get your first allocation of ISBNs - and, of course, all the above bullet points.
TERMS
So, what are these dreaded terms, then? Don’t panic! Nothing onerous. This is where the financial side comes into play – you knew it would come! But rest assured that this IS free - you won’t be parting with ANY of your own money. All you have to do is prove that your book is worth publishing (and is worth us risking our £hundreds and considerable time and skills) by selling 100 advance copies (it may be over 100, remember to tell us as we need to know so we can print the right amount). Then you send us 75% of the cover price for those books. And yes, only 75% of the cover price: YOU keep the other 25% as profit – PURE profit as every one of our services comes for FREE, and as already said you will be parting with NONE of your own money. This will make you a publisher, an author - and a pretty penny (or you could pass part of it onto your friendly local bookshop as their mark up, which is business, after all; and they will be falling over themselves to have a local author do a book signing session).
100 copies is easily achieved – just count your friends, family, neighbours, workmates... and you're almost there. And if you want to go down the route of 'self-publishing' you must be pretty motivated anyway! And remember, we even give you an AI (Advance Information) Pack to help you along the selling path.
After you have sold 100 copies you can get more in multiples of 100 for as little as 25% of the cover price - making you a potential 75% profit EVERY BOOK! And that is not a bad on-going wee RISK FREE business!
By all means shop around the numerous self-publishing websites out there. They all offer a service – but always with you forking out sometimes £thousands! We think you will agree that our Self Publish For FREE concept is the best thing since sliced Polony!
So, first things first (always the best place to start!). Send an email with a synopsis of the book in the body of the text, the entire manuscript as a Word (or similar) file as an attachment, and your concept of what the cover should look like. We will do the rest!
Just click here - SPFF@brightsparkpublishing.co.uk - to send us your files.
Or if you have any queries click here – TellMePlease@brightsparkpublishing.co.uk – and we will do our best to address them.
What are you waiting for? Publish and be damned GOOD!
