indie publishing – a whole new field of possibilities

Indie publishing is not just for emerging writers who want to make a killing with a debut title.  As a traditionally-published author or poet, you can fully avail of the technology now available to bring your own back-catalogue of work back into circulation at the highest professional standard.

Massive changes in the area of traditional publishing over the last twenty years have led to a marked difference in the way books are selected and deals made.  You may even have a new work that for any number of reasons has not found its way into the world through a traditional publisher.

With the new technology, you are now fully able to bring it out as an author-publisher, or micro-publisher.  All it needs is a change of approach, the willingness to put in some extra work yourself, and the services of a new publishing consultant for your design and set up.

Cyberscribe can provide editing services or refer you to an external literary editor and will follow up with proofing, design and conversion into digital format of your book.  We will then help you set up your online sales accounts and advise on short print runs.

We may, depending on the format sought, consider non-fiction and academic titles, and while our design capabilities are not suited to extensively illustrated titles, we can recommend book designers for this.

We’ll help you obtain a set of ISBN numbers from your local agency, and assist you with setting up your own imprint. We’ll advise on the best way to make your book available both from the online giants, your local book shop and by regular customer order from book stores around the world.

Finally, we work with an excellent local printer, thereby supporting Irish business and avoiding foreign shipping costs.
