Some companies I engage with


 

Lightning Source

This produces some very good print-on-demand books.  They distribute world-wide.  It’s worth taking a look: https.lightningsource.com/

 

Amazon KDP

https://kdp.amazon.com/              

They make creating paperbacks and e-books easy. They even pay you for the number of pages that are read. Returns aren’t high but you get a bigger percentage than with traditional publisher. However, you need to ask yourself a percentage of what?

 

The Society of Authors

https://www.societyofauthors.org/about-us/ 

I feel very strongly that one should be a member, even of you personally are not benefitting form them directly.       

·         They offer lots of general advice

·         They will help  you with contracts

·         They fight our corner with government and commercial bodies.  ,

·         They offer cheap public liability insurance

They help you to develop good marketing materials: https://www.canva.com/

 

Vista Print

https://www.vistaprint.co.uk/

They provide good quality print items at a very reasonable price.   

 

NAWE

National Association of Writers in Education: https://www.nawe.co.uk/

A lot of advice for writers, an annual conference, free public liability insurance if you register as a professional member and lots of other benefits for members.

 

Give them all a  try!
