Publishing companies are in the business of helping authors get their books onto the shelves. But even if you have a book in the works, it’s important to know what to expect from your publisher, what they can do for you, and how they will work with you.
Here are 10 questions all writers should ask in order to find the right publisher for their work:
Sometimes publishers require certain forms, manuscripts, or samples submitted with work. Ask what’s required beforehand so you’re well-equipped to move forward with your project.
Try to determine if the publishing process begins immediately after submitting your manuscript or if there will be a waiting period before the publisher can start on your work.
If so, what kind of influence can I have over these aspects during the publishing process?
Before signing anything official about publication rights or royalties, check to see if you like the quality of publishing that has been completed for other books.
Does the publisher have experience working with the same genre, and market that your writing would fall under?
Ask the publisher how readers will know about the existence of your new title when it is released. Do their authors receive copies for themselves they can use when pitching their work to media outlets like radio shows, television networks, or national magazines?
Ensure you fully understand any publisher’s payment structure, including when payments will be issued – whether monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Do you have full rights to the content? How about movie rights or play rights? If the book has illustrations, do you fully own them and can you use them without seeking additional permission or paying for marketing permissions? Will the copyright be processed in your name or will it be in the publishers? These are all vital questions you need the answers to before you agree to a publishing agreement.
Does the publisher work with a variety of retailers like Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Booktopia.com, for example?
Will your book simply be released to the retailers? With such incredibly large catalogs of books on each of the retailer sites, your publisher needs to be working diligently in keywords, BISAC codes, and SEO to help make your title \”findable.\” Does the publisher have a marketing strategy to help you rank on the first page of Google when your title is searched?

We have a vast range of paper types to choose from depending on the content of your book. Our most popular paper types are below;
80gsm Opaque - Good for nonfiction books and good for keeping the costs low. Opaque 80gsm is our cheapest paper and helps with cheap book printing if you are on a budget.
100gsm Opaque - Also good for non-fiction books. As it is a heavier paper than the opaque 80gsm it is better for colour images as there will be less show through. It is more expensive than the opaque 80gsm but only by a little.
80gsm Munken Bookwove White - This is the standard paper for novels and fiction titles. It is a slightly off-white paper with a slightly rough/textured feel. It is also good for ‘bulking’ up the book as it is slightly thicker than the 80gsm and 100gsm opaque papers.
80gsm Munken Bookwove Cream - This is the same paper as the Bookwove White but as the name suggests, this is the cream version. Again this paper is mostly used for novels and for making the spine of your book bigger.
100gsm Recycled - A popular paper for non-fiction titles. This is our recycled paper which is a white similar to the 100gsm Opaque but has a slightly rougher feel but is smoother than the Bookwove papers.
We also offer a range of coated papers from 115gsm to 170gsm which are good for printing photographs and high-quality images. We can print any number of pages in a plate section on the coated papers and then insert them into the book. This is a great option to have the text printed on the nice Bookwove paper and have some colour images on 130gsm coated paper.
