Quality writing is crucial to attract readers, and choosing between traditional and self-publishing impacts control and royalties.

Combining these elements is key for authors to achieve financial stability through their writing.
Are you ready to take your manuscript to the next level? Check out our special deal for new Authors:
Distribution Agreement: First and foremost, a distribution agreement is necessary to proceed.
Document Requirements: Ensure you provide the original Word document of your manuscript.
Formatting Needs: While the manuscript is currently in a PDF format, it is not a true representation of the book size. It needs to be formatted for ePub and eventually for print.
Cost Estimates:
- Formatting: For a properly formatted book the charge is NZD $1 per page. The author retains the majority of the rights.
- Cover and Back Artwork: This service is available for NZD $100.
- Additional Cleanup Work: If any further cleanup is required after third-party formatting, a 50% split will be implemented. This makes the service provider an editor, proofreader, publicist, and technically a co-author.
Marketing Campaign: To ensure your book reaches its audience, consider investing in paid social media marketing. Without it, your book may just sit in stores, unnoticed.
Meeting and Agreement: If you agree in principle, we should schedule a meeting to discuss further details. As a publisher, we have an extensive eBook store network. For paperback editions, a minimum print run of 30 copies is required to keep costs low.
Commitment to Authors: We never reject a book. Each manuscript is assessed for its current state and what is needed to make it print-ready.
