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 are hoping 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 authors of fiction, but also because of our manuscript vetting and traditional distribution into actual bookstores. We now sell direct to major booksellers such as Waterstones and hundreds of independent bookstores.
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 so-called vanity presses. We are much more of a partner with the author.
Good communication, hard work and transparency is at the heart of our model and this means we care deeply about our authors and always give them the truth on our journey to making a great fiction book.
At Foreshore, we do most things in-house, including editing, formatting, design, and we use a top quality UK book printer. Our covers are beautiful, well designed and reflect deep insight on the ideal positioning for each of our titles.
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 that 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 60% of net revenues on a paperback edition published under an independent contract and 12% of net revenues on a paperback edition published under a traditional contract.
We provide several different opportunities for authors to get their work into bookstores and into the hands of readers.
Our traditional publishing proposition, which is always our first choice for authors, includes many additional services above and beyond the essentials. This is also 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 traditionally publish a work. If, for some reason this is not possible, there are other options. And beyond these, there are also custom options available.
