BewleyBooks

Books cost. We invest. It costs us £5k (on average) for every book we produce. No funds are taken from the author, but equally, no royalty advance is given. The way we work is as follows: Any sales generated are divided between the author (30%), publisher (30%) and production costs (40%). These costs can involve assessing your work (reading hours), proofreading/editing, typesetting, book styling/formatting, cover image sourcing, ISBN registration, marketing on social media and mainstream media, promoting to influencers and bookstores and libraries (online and off), booking venues/bookshops for author to present book, plus a host of other background administrative tasks. To be honest, a book may not sell or find an audience.  Therefore, our investment is mostly not returned. To-date, we have invested in 5 books, plus our own. If, after reading this, you would like to use the BewleyBooks platform, contact us with details about your book and your ability to assist with marketing it. We need you to be active on social media and have a following of good people who support you.
