 Not Vanity or Print on Demand
If you've ever though about self-publishing you're probably aware of vanity publishers who charge a fortune for little in return and print on demand publishers who inflate the cost of buying books. Both methods mean that, for example, to get as as few as five copies of a book using a vanity publisher it might cost around £800. Print on demand publishers charge upwards of 200% of what your book is worth, that is, £10 for a book valued at £5, and that's without the packing. Then there's postal costs....The whole process of getting a book published can be expensive but Duality Publishing tries to show that it won't cost you any more than it should cost.
Obviously we don't do all this for nothing; but we do charge modest and fair fees for our services, and you only pay for what you get - no tie-ins or all-inclusive deals where you've no options. For example, if you want to design your own book cover or if you're happy to market it yourself then you won't be charged.
What this means is that you're completely in control of the process from manuscript to finished product.

Just So You Know
We're not magicians. We only provide a publishing service and can't be held responsible if your magnum opus - brilliantly turned out by Duality Publishing - turns out to be a completely unsaleable pile of nonsense. We'll try our best to make sure that the physical product - your book - is as good as we can possibly make it. And remember that you only get what you pay for - printing in colour costs more than printing in black and white, hardbacks cost more than paperbacks and novels about hermits don't sell well.
