Self publish a book with the Choir Press

• We provide the full range of services needed to self publish a book including editing, proofreading, design, page layout, cover design, preparation of print-ready files and delivery of your finished books.
• Publish with confidence. We ask for £150 with your order but usually there’s nothing else to pay until the book is ready to be printed and you are completely happy with the various stages of proofs. Publishing can take several months and we think that authors deserve the assurance of seeing that the preparation of their typescript for printing is thorough and professional before they part with their money. If your book is more than 150,000 words we may ask for an interim payment for work completed to date but we will arrange that with you at the beginning of the contract.
• Our service is personal. We consult and reach mutual decisions with you. We recommend but we don't impose. We don't provide instant publishing services where you can upload a file and receive a "fait accompli" product back in the post. 75% of the new titles we produced last year were for customers who had already used our services to help publish their books. You can telephone or email me Miles Bailey with your questions.
• You'll have your own ISBN. It will be your ISBN registered to you. It will not be an ISBN already issued to a publisher and then assigned to your book – a practice used by many firms. You may ask why this matters? It matters because the person who owns the ISBN controls the distribution of the book and therefore the division of the profit. If you are distributing your book privately among family and friends you do not need an ISBN.
• Our service is structured to give you the lowest possible break even sales figure so whether you're publishing for a commercial venture or to give a few copies to family and friends you'll have tight control over the costs. When you need extra books you'll save money because we'll supply them at a trade price NOT a retail price less a discount.
• You are the publisher and you own the rights, so the entire profit on a sale belongs to you.

There is a wide range of choice of size, style and materials and we'll be pleased to discuss your requirements to meet a particular specification or budget.
