erbacce-press can also provide a contract-service where we sell your work for you: we will provide for you with the following: An experienced typesetter to arrange the layout of your book; to avoid errors you will be repeatedly asked to check, update and state your required changes throughout the process. FREE. A cover designer who will work with you to establish a full-colour cover to your specifications who will correctly size the document and make it ready as a PDF for printing. FREE. An editor who will arrange your writing and check for errors then prepare the MS as a PDF for printing. At all stages you will be asked to check, comment and suggest changes. FREE. erbacce-press will additionally purchase an ISBN for your book at cost price (Currently £10.00) In addition erbacce-press will collect a proof from the printer and check carefully for errors; then they will arrange a print run. FREE. erbacce-press will then provide a run of 40 copies of a forty page book with full-colour cover and B/W text (we’d recommend a cover-price for this kind of book of about £3.99 or $8.25 but you will know your own market and we'll include whatever cover price you suggest) and we'd expect you to order at least 20 copies at cost price of £2.00 per copy. If you cannot collect the completed print-run we will expect you to pay for the post and packing. You pay for the copies you order at cost-price (£2.00 a copy) and we will then sell copies on our websites and distribute royalties to you annually. With this option you will need to sign a contract with us. Important note. You will be required, by law, to have copies logged with the legal department, with ISBN registration and the British Library. erbacce-press also require two copies for the erbacce-press records and will log two with the Southbank Poetry Library in London; thus we will personally require six copies to complete these legal requirements for you; we'll arrange this registration and deposit for FREE but they will come out of your initial order (i.e. if you order 26 we'll use 6 of these to complete our legal requirements, you'll receive 20) NOTE: The finished booklet will be slightly LESS than A5 size, you will have an opportunity to view and correct your book at every stage. A word on ISBN's; these ensure that anyone can go into a bookshop; quote the ISBN number and the seller will be able to track it; also your book will be available at the British Library and the Southbank Poetry Library in London.
