Getting a book published has probably never been as competitive as it is today. With many thousands of authors seeking to get their work into print, navigating the traditional waters of finding an Agent willing to help you land a Publisher has probably never been so difficult.

Many people, seeking an alternative means of getting their words into print, have consequently turned to self-publishing. The majority of these may be satisfied by seeing their title jostling for recognition on a platform such as Amazon, unconcerned that the distribution of their book may go little further. They may also not be entirely cognisant that elements of the end product – such as the cover or the book’s internal layout – may betray the volume’s roots and potentially the author’s lack of technical expertise and experience. And make no mistake, book production is a technical business.

Now there is another option: Collaborative Publishing. This route-to-market combines all the flexibility and immediacy of self-publishing without sacrificing author control, offers a good quality, professional-looking end-product, plus automatic access to global distribution channels – and all at a great price point for the author. Because the publisher assumes a chunk of the risk.

This is where Coverstory books comes in. Over the last four-and-a-half years we have produced over 40 books – in both paperback and ebook formats – and in many cases we have used the Collaborative Publishing model to help talented writers get their work into print (just take a look at the Poetry section of our website for examples). Our service includes: an ISBN, composition, proofreading (as appropriate), cover design, copies of the final book lodged with the British Library and the other five Legal Deposit Libraries (Cambridge & Oxford Universities, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, and Trinity College Dublin), as well as availability globally via e-retailers and on order from bricks-and-mortar bookshops.

Collaborative Publishing is a great option for writers!

But then we would say that wouldn’t we? So don’t take our word for it. Take a look at the testimonials from some of our authors – and then ask yourself whether or not we can help you fulfil that long-held dream… Work with Coverstory books and get published!
