About BB

It has always been the intent of BewleyBooks to help you, the writer, publish your book. As a publishing platform, under the Yelweb Private Trust, any income generated is:

• shared with the author 
• invested back into the service.  

The cost to produce a book through BewleyBooks is, on average, around £6k-£8k.  This includes: 

• ghost-writing or editing
• type-setting
• layout-format
• book covers
• registering and marketing 
• video production
• distribution
• and a whole lot more!

Please note that this service has never never financially led.  Publishing an author's books comes from a willingness to help people achieve their dreams to get their message out into the public eye.  So, in essence, BewleyBooks' mission has been a heart-led venture with no intention of profiting from a writer's work.

Of course, because of the model BewleyBooks operates under, the books produced have yet to make any financial gain.  But this has been ok with us.  Contrary to popular opinion, it is certainly a challenge to promote a book.  While we enjoy whatever we can do related to books and helping authors get their books out there into the big wide world, we have to be sensible about such things and especially in such hard times.  

Contrary to other book publishing platforms, BewleyBooks has never charged an author for production, administration or marketing of their books.  Because of this, we are unable to give writer's an advance for their work.  But, when/if sales do come in, we always pay the author a fair royalty from the moment their book begins to sell - even if it's only £1.  From each sale, we cover our costs for the service provided, by taking a percentage from the royalties generated.

The books that BewleyBooks takes on, are thoroughly assessed - if we are able to do it financially and it isn't going to burn a hole in our pocket we will give it the opportunity it deserves.  We prefer books that are heart-led, history changing, truth-based and factual.  That means memoirs and biographies are in, while a tale about pigs flying are tossed.  However, if a novel slides across our desk that fits our parameters, we'll consider it.

Your donations help BewleyBooks to produce and market the books suitable for its platform.  Incidentally, any funds raised from the low-cost course we've created for new writers, are re-invested back into this platform to help writers get their work noticed.
