HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR BOOK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND OR THE UNITED STATES

WHAT IS PRINT ON DEMAND AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Other publishers must guess how many copies of each title will sell. They print them, store them, and hope their guess is accurate. If the initial print run becomes exhausted the publisher makes a decision whether to commission another print run. In the majority of cases this would mean a book becomes out of print and no longer available. Since the average shelf life of a book is six months, an author would see years of hard work disappear. Print on demand solves this problem by making any book available on a small print run basis as orders are received from retail outlets. This enables print runs as little as a single copy and means the book is never out of print. Technology has enabled WRITERSWORLD to offer this service on acceptable economic terms.

We require two electronic files in Microsoft Word or Word for Mac laid out in page size 13.8 cm x 21.6 cm. This custom template is not supplied with Word as a standard format.

Reduce the left and right margins to 2.0 cm.

The first file should include all preliminary items needed before the first chapter: a two- to five-line synopsis of the story, a two- to three-hundred word author biography, an index if required, and a dedication if desired.

The second file in our custom size should be the story starting at Chapter One. All work must be single-spaced and justified with the font set at 11 pt Times New Roman. Set your left, right, top, and bottom margins to 1.7 cm, your header to 0 cm, and your footer to 1 cm. Indent the paragraphs by 0.5 cm opposed to leaving a blank line between them. Go to Format, Paragraph, Indents and Spacing, and set the First Line under Special. If you require a typist, contact [email protected].

ISBN NUMBER

The ISBN number is a unique identifier for ordering, accounting, billing, and stock control. Your book will be given its individual number.

ROYALTIES

Every time a copy of your book is sold a record will be kept. You keep all royalties, minus �1.00 per copy for administration charges. You do not relinquish your copyright when using the services of WRITERSWORLD. We are simply a book publisher.

LEGAL DEPOSIT LIBRARIES

Legal deposit is the act of submitting published material to designated libraries and archives. Publishers and distributors in the United Kingdom and Ireland have an obligation to send material to six libraries that collectively maintain the national published archive of the British Isles: the British Library, the Oxford Bodleian Library, the Cambridge University Library, the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh, the Dublin Library of Trinity College and the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth. This is a four-century-old tradition. We must deposit your book within one month of publication. This will make your work available in the reading rooms, preserved for the benefit of future generations, a part of the national heritage. Your book will be recorded in the online catalogues of the libraries, all of which are accessible on the World Wide Web, essential research tools for generations to come.
