1. Once we have accepted a book for publication, it becomes part of a fundamental principle of WRITERSWORLD that there will be no unexpected add-ons or extra fees requested from the author. We also provide 25 free copies to the author. A review of the testimonial section on our website says it all.
2. After publication, the author retains all rights to the cover/content. The file remains the property of the author and is returnable to the author at no charge.
3. Our book covers are all custom designed in four colours; at no time do we use templates, and the author has one-to-one contact with the book cover designer. Templates are where you are given a series of photograghs or illustration to choose from and you are asked to "plonk" your name and the title of your book etc into it. Needless to say do not be surprised if dozens if not hundreds of other book titles look like your book. The quality of our custom designed covers is second to none, and our artist has produced images for some of the most successful advertising campaigns for household brands in the UK. If you want we will even provide you a full colour photocopy of your book cover so you can frame it.
4. Our editor/proof-reader book designer is probably the most highly skilled, most respected in the United Kingdom print on demand industry, and maintains one-to-one contact with the author throughout the preparation of a book. We also provide a full manuscript typing service.
5. Our contract is the fairest and simplest in the print on demand book industry worldwide and our royalty payment system is the fairest and most generous in the entire industry.
6. Our books are supplied to the author at print costs plus shipping with only a 5% add-on charged to the author, and delivery is guaranteed within 72 hours of placing an order, subject to holidays and weekends.
7. We faithfully submit each and every book title to the Legal Deposit Libraries in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. We will also submit a physical copy of your book to the Amazon Search Inside the Book Programme, a revolutionary new way to merchandise your book on Amazon.com. When customers search for a book on Amazon.com, they can find the actual words from inside your book - not just the author, title, and keywords. With this powerful new search feature, customers can discover your book that may never have surfaced in previous search results! With Search Inside the Book, customers can also browse sample pages and do additional searches inside a particular book to confirm that the title is just what they're looking for. All of this helps you sell more copies of your book.
8. As part of our service we will register and protect your copyright for 10 years in 148 countries.
9. We do not publish soft or hard pornography, nor any book that would be deemed racist, bigoted, or which advocates policies or theories that are medium to extreme. An example of this is that one of our competitors has recently published a book based on the preposterous theory that it was not The Titanic that sank but its sister ship, The Olympic. We are selective in what we publish so as not to let down our other clients and ourselves.
10. We publish and ship worldwide and have the largest distribution network of any print on demand book publisher in the world. Our books are made available through PUBEASY a company that represents thousands of booksellers from over 110 countries spanning North America, Europe and Asia to facilitate access to order placement, order tracking, price, title and availability data over the Internet with participating publishers, distributors and book buyers. We also submit our books to Ingram Advance which is a monthly catalogue that is distributed to booksellers and libraries around the world. Titles are eligible to be included in Ingram Advance only once, when they are first published. With this marketing service, WRITERSWORLD will produce a short paragraph describing the title, retail pricing information, and a black & white cover image will also be included.
11. We publish in English, and in French through our sister website, and will soon be publishing in Spanish and German, thereby increasing exposure and distribution. We are the only publisher of our type in the world for which the entire website is designed for the Visually Impaired or persons for whom English is not so easy to read. Word for word, page by page, the entire website can be spoken back to the visitor or at the click of a button a page can be translated to the language of the visitors choice.
12. We offer a fully certified language translation service.
13. We guarantee, with the full support of the author, to produce a book from start to finish within one month of proper submission, unlike some of our competitors who have a clause in their contracts which permits them up to six months to produce a book.
14. We load our books at our printers with all interior illustrations and photographs at 600 DPI as opposed to the industry norm of 300 DPI.
15. We have a generous cash referral service available for authors when they recommend us to other authors and we publish the referred book.
16. We have an easy to navigate website with everything an author needs to know about publishing a book laid out in plain terms. There are no catches and no clever play on words to catch the unsuspecting writer. You can pay to publish your book or order copies by credit card, debit card or in Euro's, US Dollars or British Pounds bank to bank.
17. Our publishing package pays to host the book on all the internet and book retailer databases for three years.
18. We also publish in colour.
19. We provide as part of our publishing packages a free E-book if the author wishes to have one.
20. We have Liability Insurance of £35,000.000.00 and are members of the prestigious Oxford Publishing Society, The Sunday Times Enterprise Network and Business Link.
