Royalty Paying Publishers
UKAuthors.com has just expanded! This quote from UKA Press explains:
"UKA Press is an exciting new venture, created by writers, for writers, springing from UKAuthors.com, Europe's best writers' site. UKA Press is unique in the world of publishing and has been created to publish the
best new writing from UKA members. We're looking for originality, sparkle and the promise of something unexpected. Genre and
style aren't important, quality is."
Authors will not be charged a penny for publication and Royalty payments will be made to signed authors. In addition, the
marketing programme planned for the signed authors is exciting, impressive and very pro-active and offers a real chance to
anyone wanting to find a publisher who is prepared to work as hard as you do.
If you have any queries or would like to submit your work for the consideration of this dynamic, unique publisher visit: UKA Press or see the banner on the front page to join UKAuthors.com.
POD/Self-publishers
Why hand over the control of your hard work to someone else? If you are fed up with rejection slips or the cry
of 'sorry, but you must have a Literary Agent' you'd do worse than look at the concept of POD (Print on demand) and self-publishing
- You keep control of your work, you can sell it where you like and you promote it where you like.
For a new experience in self publishing check-out the slick www.pabd.com - A British company with drive and verve! They are getting an enviable reputation for their
sheer professionalism in their dealings with authors and readers alike.
For self-publication in both ebook and/or print format take a look at the American company: www.lulu.com.
Both companies are author-driven and you retain the rights to your work at all times, you get to decide on
your cover, your price and where its sold. Royalty varies. Some costs may be incurred (such as the purchase
of an ISBN or for legal book deposit purposes) but nothing like those charged by the large, well-known self-publishing
organisations. In both cases you will receive a good, honest, reliable service and a quality product for very little
outlay.
If you know of a fantastic service, Publisher or Company
that has really helped you make the leap from 'scribbler' to writer - why not tell us about it?
Send us your article and we will put it on the site for everyone to benefit from. Sharing information is
what makes the work go round ... well that and money of course, but then we're not in this game for money are we? ;)

Authors looking for other sites to promote their work might be interested in http://www.published.com/ its a large site and at first seems a little daunting but it could be worth taking the time to add your work.
Its free, you get good space and their service, although automated, is very good.
