What exactly can we do for you?

In more than ten years in publishing we have dealt with printers, typesetters, designers, proofreaders, indexers and all the other people associated with publishing day in and day out. This gives us an advantage in several respects:

We have a large database of that most precious of things in publishing, reliable freelance workers and reliable companies!

We know how to speak to these people! They don't speak a different language to the rest of us (although sometimes it might seem like it!), but we know what they need to know, we know what sort of questions they will ask and can anticipate them.

We know what we should be paying. If someone wanted to charge you £5 for a pint of milk, you'd know that you were being conned; but what if someone wanted to charge you £5 to set a page of text, would that be reasonable? What about £2? Or £8? We know!

Nobody knows your book better than you. Nobody feels more passionately about your book than you. Nobody is more likely than you to convince those bookshops and buyers that this is a book they must have on their shelves! You are the person best-positioned to sell that book, and we can give you the tools to do it!

This is where we differ from the vanity presses; we’re not pretending that we’re going to invest our time trying to get your book into the shops, and getting you to pay through the nose for the privilege.

With Presta, you will own all the books, all the rights, all the electronic files, and all the profits!

With more than ten years in the publishing industry, at Presta we have the know-how, the experience and the contacts to get your book produced for you any way that you want it, at the right price.

On a budget (who isn’t!)? We can type-set, print and bind your text, and deliver as many copies of your book as you want to your door.
You choose exactly what happens to your work. Just let us know what you want to do, and we will make it happen. Be closely involved, or sit back and let us take the strain; you decide!
