Printed Books
There will always be a market for printed books. In spite of the digital age many people like to have a physical book in their hands. With cutting edge technology, printing your book is now a straightforward process. The most important thing is that your books should always be under your control. Our belief is that you should have the choice of how to get your books out to your audience.
You can now order all copies of your book at the same low production cost right across the board with the same ISBN whether you are ordering Author copies for yourself, copies of your book to sell to retailers, or people are buying them directly from the online store.
You have a huge amount of control because you can change how you choose to distribute your books if you decide later down the line that one method is better for you than another,
The good news is it’s now a very straightforward process to print your book to the highest standard. Even if you are not directly publishing through Verbum Publications, you can still use this service to get your books printed totally independently if required.
The two ways you can use your printed books are:
1. Sell them from a platform where you can make the highest commissions possible without doing anything other than send people to your book page
2. Have copies of your book available to sell or distribute yourself however you like
By doing BOTH these things we believe that every type of Author will have all bases covered. The set-up costs are INCLUDED in our prices, and our Print on Demand partners have made this possible so that you can order as few as 50 copies at a time without there being a huge increase in the price per single copy. (Obviously this does reduce slightly if you order a larger number).
This means there is never a need to hold large stocks of your book – just order as you need them in quantities that won’t break the bank.
You will get your books within 7 days!
We use The Great British Book Shop to set up sales of your book with worldwide distribution.You will receive between 50% and 65% commissions of the SALE PRICE of your book – NOT after print costs have been taken off. That means that a book selling for £10 can pay you up to £6.50 for each sale. Commissions are paid monthly.
The same print vendor is used to supply you with all copies of your book. This means that the quality is consistent, and if you have published through Verbum Publications then you’ll have a unique ISBN and complete control over your book sales. Any alterations needed can be processed within a very short time window.
These calculations are based on the RRP (recommended retail price) based on current market price for the genre and size of book.
• 50 copies of your printed book - will cost 30% of your set retail price, (x50), delivered to your door 7 days from placing the order. Eg: 50 copes of a printed book RRP of £10.00 would cost you £150
• 150+ copies of your printed book – will cost 27.5% of your set retail price, (x150), delivered to your door 7 days from placing the order. Eg: 150 copes of a printed book RRP of £10.00 would cost you £412.50
