Books and ebooks wanted

If you have a book for sale whether it be used, rare or new please contact us. We are always looking for new products for our customers no matter what the quantity.

We also publish ebooks so if you are the copyright holder send us an email - contact us - with an outline of the book.

To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, why bother to write if not for publication? But writing can be a lonely task, made bearable by the thought that others will enjoy reading what has been written, but that means finding a publisher.

Being discovered by a publisher, seeing your book launched and signing copies for adoring readers is perhaps every writers fantasy. And it can happen. But for every writer realising the fantasy, there are thousands who are not so lucky. For them, persistence may ultimately pay as they deal with rejection after rejection. Of course, they can pay to have their book published, perhaps parting with thousands of pounds with, realistically, little or no chance of ever recovering the outlay.

Electronic publishing gives writer another option and one with a very real chance of making money. Although we take works of any length, lets take for example, a book of 80,000 to 100,000 words - 200 or so pages. We have to devote time to reading and checking the manuscript as well as actually putting the work on our website, however unlike others if the book is suitable for onetoremember we do not make a charge. If it is suitable we then agree a selling price with the author which would usually be rather less than the price of an equivalent paperback book. Lets say we agree on £6. We pay a royalty to you, the author, of 75% of that price so that every time someone buys your book you earn £4.50 and we keep £1.50 to cover the cost of processing the payment. So when just 100 copies have been bought, you will have earned £450. Remember, the website is accessible worldwide, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and your book will never be ‘out of print’. Some of our authors see electronic publication of their book on this site as an end in itself, and several have more than one title available, while others see it as a means of showcasing their work in the hope of attracting a conventional publisher. Either way, we do everything we can to help to achieve our authors aims. We are in contact with the press, both local and national, in the United Kingdom and Overseas and are often successful in gaining editorial coverage of our activities and those of our authors. Reviews of the books we have on the site are submitted regularly for publication. All this activity is intended to do just one thing - to develop interest in our books, increasing their sales and, as a result, the income paid to our authors. We can accept your manuscript on floppy disk, on CD (preferably in Microsoft Word) or on A4 paper as long as it is typed preferably on one side only. It need not be double spaced nor in any particular font. We look forward to hearing from you.
