Whether you want to publish your own titles under a professional imprint or build a small press that publishes other authors, this complete step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to set it up and run it properly in the UK and the US.
Publishing has never been more open to independent businesses. Print-on-demand, global distribution and online marketing mean a small press can now reach readers anywhere. But setting up a publishing company involves far more than uploading a manuscript. You need the right business structure, ISBNs, contracts, distribution, metadata, pricing and marketing, and the rules are different on each side of the Atlantic.
This book walks you through every stage, in the order you'll actually do it, with clear action steps at the end of each chapter.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Decide what kind of publisher you want to be and write a simple business plan
- Register your company and choose the right structure in the UK or US
- Buy and manage ISBNs, and understand what they cost in each country
- Edit, design, typeset and produce professional print and ebook editions
- Set up distribution through Amazon KDP, IngramSpark and other channels
- Price your books and understand royalties, discounts and print costs
- Write fair author contracts covering rights, royalties and terms
- Build an imprint brand readers and bookshops recognise
- Market your titles with launches, reviews, advertising and social media
- Sell into the EU while meeting product safety rules
- Handle accounts, tax and the ongoing admin of a publishing business
- Grow from one title to a sustainable list
Ideal for authors who want to self-publish professionally, editors and designers starting their own imprint, and anyone dreaming of running an independent press. You don't need industry connections or a big budget; you need a clear plan, and this book gives you one.
Part of the How to Start in Business series: practical, step-by-step guides for anyone ready to start something of their own.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
