The edit
Our goal is to provide unrivalled editorial feedback. We hand pick our editors, employing only those with a proven track record. As standard we offer both a reader’s report to provide general advice, and a detailed line-by-line copy edit so you have an insight in how to improve your book. We charge just £5 per 1000 words and promise the edit will be completed within ten working days.
Any writer receiving a full BubbleCow edit is entitled to…
The printing
Finding a reputable self publishing company can be a stressful and unrewarding experience. At BubbleCow we have tried to remove some of the pain from finding a self publisher by teaming up with two companies who we know provide the highest quality of service. As an additional bonus these companies are offering a 10% discount on their services for any writer who has purchased a BubbleCow full edit.
“Matador has deliberately positioned itself as a quality self publishing imprint for authors who are serious about getting their work in front of readers through traditional and non-traditional book retail outlets. Our aim is to publish quality books that people want to read.
Unlike most other companies that will offer to publish your book, we are discerning. Your book is important to us, but we will only take on books that we feel are good from a content point of view. In practice, this means that we turn down around 25% of the fiction and poetry titles that we are asked to take on by self publishing authors. In addition, we don’t believe in producing books that have poor production standards. So if an author is looking for a company who will just print what they are given, no questions asked, then that is not us. We are looking for quality of content and quality of presentation… both of which are essential if a book is to stand the slightest chance of selling even a single copy.
Discount applies to the cost of pre-press services (manuscript through to print ready), and to printing the books.”
