WRITERSWORLD is a print-on-demand, self-publishing publisher whose philosophy as a UK book publisher is simple: we are here to publish extremely high quality, print-on-demand, self-published books and to provide a self-publishing service via our website for people who want to know how to self-publish a book. We provide the following publishing services: unique book cover and jacket design; copy editing and proof reading; advice on copyright protection; legal deposits to the Legal Deposit Agencies; digital printing; e-books; book distribution;  thesis publishing; book reprinting; advice on book promotion and book signings; writing and self publishing; submission of an author's book to Amazon's 'Search inside this book', and a free personal website for our authors and writers. We can take your manuscript all the way through the publishing process, from start to finish, using our digital print-on-demand services with a printing quality second to none, as the authors' and writers' testimonials on our website, written by people who have previously self-published with us, testify; so you will no longer need to ask "how can I self publish my book or manuscript?"

It is to be noted that commercial publishing, as we know it today, did not really get its start until the middle of the 19th century and, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, until 1750 the United Kingdom produced only 100 new titles a year. It wasn't until about 1850 that mass production brought down the cost of books, and it was 1900 before the 100 titles a year became 6,000 titles a year: so the above list of authors who have self published has to be understood in perspective. In 2009 it was estimated that there were in excess of 130,000 new book titles published in the UK, so it looks as if book publishing is here to stay.
