Unlike conventional publishers SoftQualM Press concentrates on getting your book out there, i.e. facilitating the publishing, marketing, printing and distribution of your book.
Utilising a low risk, low cost print-on-demand concept, your investment can be kept to as little as £100 while still reaching a global audience through channels like amazon and starting to earn from the first copy sold.
And if you want your book solely for your own use, eg as courseware, event booklet, tour book etc., we also offer a short-run option without distribution channels.
While we are happy to consult on all aspects, with SoftQualM Press you as the author retain full ownership, control and responsibility of content, design and any other aspect of your title.
You write - we take care of the rest.
These are just some of the services we can offer:
