This is an economical option if you prefer to undertake the following tasks yourself:

We can assist with any of these tasks at additional cost if you require help, or you may want to consider one of our other Packs which include more services as standard.
We will recommend a retail price point for your book which will afford you a minimum 45% discount on any copies you purchase for your own use or resale (equivalent to manufacturing cost plus handling), and 20% royalty on gross retail sales. You may set a different retail price point if you wish, though this may impact on your discount/royalty percentage.
We will submit your book details to our distribution network to enable it to be listed, ordered and sold worldwide. Amongst the sales channels we can access for you are: International distributors (Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Paperback Shop), British and European distributors (Gardners, Bertrams), US distributor NASCORP, Library suppliers (Blackwell, Coutts), Specialist distributors (Mallory International, STL) and major online booksellers (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Adlibris.com, Book Depository, Eden Interactive).
