Help for self-publishers

We hear from lots of authors who want to self-publish, whether it is because they want to keep creative control over their work, or because they are writing for a community of family and friends, or because they see potential for their work that profit-driven publishers do not.

The following are respectable, small businesses that have been operating in Australia for some time. They offer services to self-publishers such as layout, design and printing, and procuring isbns, cataloguing-in-publication data and barcodes.

In Melbourne is Penfolk Publishing

In Adelaide is Seaview Press

Red Hen

Many self-published authors use this website to promote and sell their works. It's free to list items, and their charges (which are based on selling price) only commence when the article or service is sold. They take care of all the merchant details, such as money transfers, and leave you to get on with writing the next book! Click here if you want to see what they offer.
