Seaman's Roost
Whether this is your first novel or your tenth, a family history or a work of local interest, we will work with you to self publish your book to your specifications.
Are you endlessly waiting on publishers to say yes to a piece of work that you feel has great potential? Or maybe you are tired of the constant stream of rejection letters from agents who may or may not have read your manuscript. Perhaps the idea of sending a copy of your novel instead of a manuscript direct to an agent could make you stand head and shoulders above the slush pile, then the self publishing route could be for you.
From manuscripts to memoirs, auto biographies to factual pieces and from poetry collections to short story compilations, we are here to support writers in publishing their dreams, to take control and to print their novel or collection to their own requirements.
Choose from our range of talented illustrators for your cover design or from a selection of photographs on offer.
Your work can be presented to us in either hand written form or typed. We can even type from your digital audio recordings. We will proof read, edit and compile your work for print layout.
You will receive twenty copies to give to friends and relatives, or to use as a calling card for prospective agents and publishers. Plus we will print an additional 100 copies to distribute on Amazon.com and on our website.
There will be no books gathering dust under the bed or tucked away in the garage. Your books will be stored and subsequently distributed to order.
Before any work is undertaken, we will draw up an agreement that clearly outlines what is expected and what you can expect from us and by when.
