Full publishing package

The full publishing package offers you the opportunity to enjoy all of the benefits that our publishing service offers. It includes all of the base package elements plus the design and distribution package. The full publishing package also includes 50 advance information sheets and your choice of two marketing options (posters, postcards, leaflets or bookmarks).

We include obtaining an ISBN and barcode, essential for identification, selling and distribution. We’ll also make sure your book is registered with Nielsen BookData.

Publishing companies and self-publishers are legally required to send to the Legal Deposit Office one copy of each title, within one month of first publication – this requirement is covered in the full publishing package.

Pre-press set up from your PDF files is included along with a sample. We’ll also make an imprint page template for you. We’ll provide you with an author’s guide.

As part of the full publishing package we’ll turn your manuscript into a printable format and ensure that the book is available through online booksellers and high street bookshops alike.

Choose from any of our templated cover designs. All you then need to do is supply us with your chosen front cover image and a few words for the back cover – we’ll do the rest.

We can typeset your manuscript from a Word document into a PDF at a reduced rate. We’ll lay the text on the page in book format number the pages, presenting the finished file in a printable format.

We’ll list your book on cpibookdelivery.com – the online bookstore for small publishers. Thousands of books are sold online every day on sites like Amazon, with books published in the UK available to readers all over the world. cpibookdelivery.com allows you to sell your book directly to the public, meaning you keep control and keep more of the profit. Using our online bookstore saves you the fees normally paid to distributors and middle men, making it the most profitable way to sell your books worldwide. A listing on cpibookdelivery.com is included in the full publishing package.

Gardners Books is probably the UK’s largest book wholesaler – as part of the design and distribution package, Gardners Books will keep five copies of your book in stock for 12 months. What this means for you and your customers is high street availability at major chains and independent booksellers alike. If your book is not on the shelf of a local bookshop, a customer can order it at the shop and collect it, usually the next day.

The other benefit of in stock availability is that Amazon will list your title as ‘in stock’, which consumers often perceive as an advantage, making the difference between ordering your book – or someone else’s.

Don’t forget – the full publishing package also includes 50 advance information sheets and your choice of two marketing options (posters, postcards, leaflets or bookmarks).
