• EDITORIAL ASSISTANCE
On receiving your text we will check it for consistency
and advise on the need to obtain the necessary copyright
clearances. By discussing these matters at the beginning
of the production process we can save both time and
expense.
• BOOK DESIGN SERVICE We take time to discuss
production methods and page styles. The layout and design
of your book is obviously important so we are careful
to give it particular attention. We are able, if requested,
to provide professional design assistance. Our objective
is to work together in order to guarantee a high quality
book that lives up to your expectations.
• MARKETING ADVICE We will help you with
a wide range of marketing-related matters, including
how to determine the price of your book. In addition
we give advice on pre-publication publicity, local selling
opportunities and how to maximise media publicity. It
is important that the retail selling price takes into
consideration the full cost of production. There are
often costs in addition to those for print production.
We will help to identify all pre-production costs and
to estimate the likely costs associated with the launch
of your book. We have a formula that will enable you
to determine an appropriate price.
• FREE ADVERTISING All of our authors enjoy
the benefit of a free half column advert in three issues
of Local History Magazine, a national publication. In
order to capitalise on the ever-increasing opportunities
provided by the world-wide web, we will also publicise
your book on this web site.
• OTHER SERVICES We will help you to obtain
an ISBN for your book and will organise advance publicity
through the British Library Cataloguing-in-Publication
Data Programme. We can also supply a barcode for your
book if required. In addition, we can advise you on
legal formalities including the filing of statutory
copies with the appropriate libraries.
