Meet the competition
We believe that we offer the best mixture of quality, author support and affordability. We hope to be known not just for the volume of books we've helped publish but for quality of writing from our authors.
We do appreciate that there are other companies offering similar services to us. To help you make a decision of where to publish we have prepared a comparison chart, listing costs and services. Click here to download this chart as a pdf.
Many companies and services use the words 'self publishing' liberally. It's wise to check if this is actually true or if you are, in fact, working with a subsidy publisher. Companies like ourselves, lulu.com and Cafepress offer genuine self publishing services. This means that the author is the publisher, with all the rights and responsibilities that brings. A good question to ask is: "Is the ISBN for my book registered in my name?" If the answer is no, then you are NOT the publisher, but are publishing under the name of the ISBN holder.
While we have made every effort to ensure that the figures in our chart are correct, please do let us know should you find an error or an ommission and we'll correct it as soon as possible. We have no way to monitor all the services listed all of the time, so please make sure to make your own enquiries before coming to your decision.
