Whether you want to jump into the world of being a professional author, or just want to turn a labour of love into something you can show off to visitors, Silverlake Publishing can help you achieve you goal.
We offer three basic packages that will cater to the majority of our authors’ needs: Launch Pad, Coffee Table and Booster. For authors looking for something a little more special and unique, we offer bespoke packages that can be created from our full suite of publishing services. For a comprehensive list of these services, visit our Bespoke page.
Launch Pad
Our Launch Pad package is designed for authors who have a completed manuscript and are looking to take the next step into the world of writing as either a profession or secondary income. Included is everything you will need to develop your manuscript into both a paperbound and digital copy of your work. The Launch Pad package includes 200 copies of your completed book. We find this is an ambitious but achievable number of copies to start out with when trying to sell your work. It also allows you to bypass the rules held by a number of larger retailers such as Waterstones who will not accept books supplied on a ‘print on demand’ service.
The Launch pad package consists of:
Booster
Put simply, the Booster package is a service for all of our authors who wish to purchase more copies of their book. Copies of all our authors’ books are kept on record, making it fast and simple to produce more copies. If your first batch of books sells in record time, we will be ready to produce more copies of your book to keep your sales running smoothly. Alternatively, if you find friends and family asking for a copy of your book, or suggesting you should put it up for sale, Silverlake will be able to supply as few or as many copies as you require.
The Coffee Table package has been created for people who have written a book, journal or memoir and wish to see it complete the journey from their keyboard to the bookshelf in style. The Coffee Table package is best suited to authors who have written for pleasure or posterity, but not wish to attempt to earn any income from their writing. Included in this package is everything you will need to be able to tell your friends and loved ones you are a published author, along with enough copies to be able to hand them out as gifts or mementoes.
