INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING

THE FORESHORE PUBLISHING SOLUTION

Probably the Hardest-working and Most Author-Centric Publisher of Fantastic Fiction and Non-Fiction Books in the World.

Foreshore Publishing offers everything you need to professionally publish and market your fiction book, including the rare combination of expertise and personal attention that authors hope for but rarely get.

We are independently traditional and unique in the world of publishing, not only because of our mission to publish new and emerging fiction authors but also because of our manuscript vetting and traditional distribution into actual bookstores. We sell directly to booksellers and readers worldwide.

We are the ONLY Indie Publisher in the UK to offer traditional and hybrid publishing contracts.

This is the key difference between Foreshore and other hybrid self-publishing and vanity presses. We are much more of a partner with the author.

We are nimble, risk-averse innovators with a sense of adventure.

Author-Centric.

Hard work, trust, and transparency are at the heart of our model. This means we care deeply about our authors and always tell them the truth on our journey to making a great fiction book.

At Foreshore, we do most things in-house, including editing, formatting, and design, and we use a top-quality UK book printer. Our covers are beautiful and well designed and reflect deep insight into the ideal positioning for each of our titles. We produce high-quality, innovative books with editing and production values that rival and perhaps surpass the big houses.

Motivated by growing fan bases and selling books.

Unlike other vanity publishers, we don’t lose interest once the book is printed. We expect to make money off the sale of books, not just off the author’s fees, and we work hard to promote our books and our authors.

As a publishing company founded by an author, we believe the author should keep most of the revenue from a book. A typical royalty on a paperback edition is 7.5% of the recommended retail price (RRP). We offer our authors up to 70% of net revenues on a paperback edition published under an independent contract and 12% on a paperback edition published under a traditional contract.

Publishing Services

We provide several different opportunities for authors to get their work into bookstores and readers’ hands.

Our traditional publishing proposition, our first choice for authors, includes many additional services above and beyond the essentials. The same is true of our hybrid publishing. The end goal is the same: build author fanbases and sell books.

We will always strive to find a way to publish a work traditionally. If this is not possible for some reason, there are other options. Beyond these, there are also custom options available.
