My name is James Williams, and through THEPUBLISHING.CO.UK website I provide design and print services to self-publishers. I have over 35 years of professional experience, during which time I ran a professional graphics design practice and worked with major publishers of books, journals and periodicals, including Chapman & Hall, Routledge, Taylor & Francis, Springer-Verlag and many others. I have also worked with small publishers and self-publishers, often taking on projects from start to finish including design, typesetting and print management through to delivery of the finished publication. I can also claim a history of international experience having lived and worked on three continents and provided design services for projects of one type or another over five conti- nents. During my career I have also provided internet/web services, including hosting, almost from its start and am therefore very able to integrate the various associated benefits which it can offer you. So, overall I think I can claim that I am well equipped to undertake almost any facet of self-publishing as set out in THEPUBLISHING.CO.UK website. Here is a basic list of what THEPUBLISHING.CO.UK can do for you as a self-publisher and from which you can choose the range of support services you require: • Publication design and layout • Publication cover design • Editing and Proof reading • Typesetting, image and illustration integration • Image scanning, restoration and modification • Create diagrams and illustrations from sketches (and scans) • ISBN and ISSN sourcing • Print and Print on Demand sourcing • E-Book publishing • Book distribution to national libraries • Design, build and host author websites • Provide and host BLOGs • Create sales support material (posters etc) • Create start up social media pages and services • Support promotions through Amazon, Google and/or Facebook advertising • Use aggregators to distribute books • Music publications Notes: Although most manuscripts will be provided digitally as text files you can provide typewritten and even handwritten copy for subsequent inclusion into your publication using text capture applications.
