Why Publish?
Publishing is an expensive business, and takes much time and some expense. Though some authors will make money, but not all do. Take this as a disclaimer, that your book might not make you millions – or it may – who knows. You may have a goal in mind. Having a target is great.
Publishing a book may however be a life-long dream that you want to fulfil. You book could prove to be very useful and affect those who read it. Your book(s) could also open new doors for you.
As a small publishing house, Upwards Publishing does not pay an advance to authors. We can offer a full publishing contract to some authors. Usually there is a contribution to the costs taken from authors upfront. (It is not the entire cost).
Timescale
We can also publish to print within 2 months. A timetable can be agreed at the start.
Ebooks take a much shorter time. If you provide camera ready copy, an ebook can be published in 3 days.
We provide an ISBN Number and offer Marketing Services as outlined here…
Book Titles from concept to publication can take as little as one month. The speed is dependent on the product and you – the writer.
Books can be converted to courses and Audiobooks.
Ghostwriting
We can make this so easy for you.
You just talk, and we will record your words, then go away and transcribe and edit your book. Before you know it – your book is complete. Try our 6 hour package – where we talk for two hours at a time over 3 sessions. Or you may prefer a 20 hour session, where we talk for 2 hours at a time over 10 sessions, online or in person.
