“Having read extensively online that your first book is rarely published, I sent Blame off to the usual list of publishers one can find easily online with limited expectation. I still have my first email from Foreshore. Their enthusiasm for the book jumped out of the screen. As a new author, I had a ton of questions to ask before agreeing to publish my book. All my questions were welcomed and answered. As a relatively new company, I knew that they would be willing to do the work to bring the book to market, and in return expand their own place in the market. It felt like the perfect fit. A formatting error on the first run of Blame was quickly discovered and dealt with. I had full confidence in Foreshore that this would be resolved. I value the knowledge and experience they have. In many ways it is priceless. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your book listed on bookshops websites. That would never have happened had I gone down the self-publishing route. I hope that Blame is just the start of our journey together.”
“As we know getting published is one of the hardest things to achieve even more than the old traditional record deal. So after what must have seemed two long years trying hard. A call if I recall from Foreshore Publishing that they had read my manuscript and further a meeting was made. It was on this day they had written side notes onto a printed off sheets from my book. This was the sign I felt this seemed legitimate. I’m a psychic also by trade so surely I must know right. Well not always but instinctively as time passed I felt more and more and more happy and excited to be working with Foreshore. They feel like a band of a team around you and you can tell they really care and seek the best outcome for you. I’m very proud to now be a writer author signed to Foreshore Publishing. I think in the coming years they will be looked at as a tour de force and everyone will be scrapping to be signed. But I hope they stay like the best kind of scouts put there.”
“After publishing my first novel on Amazon with moderate success. I wanted a traditional publishing contract for my second book. After many submissions to agents and even direct to publishing houses with no success. I was introduced to Foreshore Publishing. At first I was weary of vanity publishers as had heard many stories of promising the earth only to take your money and then fail to live up to your expectations. From my very first conversation with Foreshore I knew that they were different. As agreed, my second novel was published and has been well publicised and is now available in a number of bookstores. I have the third book with them now and know they will promote it well.”
“My books, Holy Disorder and The Gorton Gospel, are published by Foreshore Publishing without an agent. After submitting my manuscript to several publishers who only accepted agented works, I was cautious about vanity publishing, which often lacks essential support like editing and marketing. I discovered Foreshore through a Facebook ad and emailed my manuscript. The process was efficient, and my novel was published. While there’s always some vanity in publishing, seeing my books on the shelf at Waterstones is incredibly rewarding. I view my financial contribution as a partnership in covering the costs of production, which would have been higher had I self-published. I appreciate the professional and personal support, including thoughtful communication about cover design, which allowed me to contribute my ideas.”
“Many thanks to Phil and the team at Foreshore for working so diligently to get my novel ’Snake Town’ published. The end result is fabulous – great cover design by Andjela Vujic – and the book was available in the US straight away. The communication between us was first rate and I always felt the Foreshore team were right behind the book from the beginning.”
“I am really grateful to Foreshore for publishing my work. Phil believes in and appreciates my novel. He understands the purpose of my writing and it is great to work with a publisher who’s vision aligns with mine.”
