Publishing Packages

100% royalties* and payment plans available

Established in 2017, Green Cat Books have published over 100 books, written by new authors, just like you. We can perform all the tasks necessary to produce a beautiful book for you. Our packages start at just £550, and include all of the following:

 

Copy editing: This is the first stage in any book production. You don't want a reader to notice mistakes that could have been checked before printing. We carefully read through the entire book, to ensure that your work has no spelling or grammatical issues, as well as suggest minor, or major changes to the structure of the story, and check for inconsistencies.

Typesetting/formatting: Firstly, we convert your Microsoft Word Document (or Google Docs) into a print-ready pdf, ensuring that the paragraphs, line spacing, page numbers etc. are in the right places. We create a book cover and provide an ISBN (a unique number that each book must legally have). For eBooks, we format differently for several distribution channels so that it looks its best on all devices.

Book Cover Design: We will design the cover of your choice, using your chosen image or suggestions. This includes the front cover and the 'wraparound' cover - everything you will need.

Proofreading: An extra pair of eyes that do a thorough final read through to make sure it is 100%!

Once you approve the digital proof copy (this shows how the pages are laid out, and essentially what your finished book will look like, we arrange to send out a paperback proof copy for you to check through and approve (if that is included in your package). Once you are completely happy, we will publish your book. It will be automatically listed on Amazon worldwide, along with creating an author page on this website for you, which you can refer potential readers to.

 

Distribution: We will list your book with Foyles and Waterstones for their websites. We will also manage the sales for these channels. We are also obliged to send copies to British libraries.
 

Marketing: We will automatically promote your book on social media for a six week period (two weeks before and four weeks after). We can advise you in ways that you can market your book, and can also steer you in the direction of suitable marketing companies.

Some of our packages also include:

Extended Distribution: We will list your eBook, if it is plain text (this function doesn't work for books that have interior colour illustrations, and we would have to check if they were black and white) with a further 10+ digital storefronts, such as Apple Books, GooglePlay, Smashwords and Barnes & Noble. WE will, again, manage all of the sales for you.

Extended Marketing: we can organise virtual events such as book launch/relaunch, signings, podcasts, interviews, and much more.

You can also choose these separately as one of our pick 'n' mix services.

Amazing publisher that provides a professional and supportive service while making a few dreams come true along the way!

~ Neil Pettifer

Writer's Block?

If you are struggling to put pen to paper, or are maybe finding trouble with the construction of your work, one of our writing coaches may be able to help.

NOTE: Your books will not be automatically ordered and placed on shelves in physical locations. You'll need to contact individual bookstores to ask that your book be included in their inventory, at the discretion of store management.

ISBNs are compulsory with all published books.

*100% royalties definition is that authors will receive all of the profits once print/shipping and distributors commission/transaction fees are deducted. We charge no commissions ourselves for books sold.
