As advertised in The Author

We won't try to persuade you into vast print runs or raise false expectations for the sale of your book but we are committed to providing you with realistic expectations and professional assistance in reaching your objectives through our publishing services.

Amolibros is a publishing consultancy designed to help you publish your own book. We believe that intelligent people would like a sensible alternative enabling them to self-publish without spending too much money or making expensive mistakes. The finished product and copyright will always belong to the author. For authors who want expert assessment of their work Amolibros coordinates with The Literary Consultancy.

We expect you to have a variety of requirements not only in the production of your book but also in your marketing, sales and distribution needs. Our publishing services are designed to meet those needs. Some authors may wish to execute their own marketing, particularly if they have produced something for a specialist market or for their local community. Some authors will require national sales and distribution and Amolibros will be able to offer this service through a national distributor. Back-up services will also be available to provide assistance in any marketing campaign that you may decide to undertake. You will always be encouraged to participate actively in marketing your own work. The best, the most knowledgeable and the most enthusiastic person able to convey information about a book is its author.

We always like to give as much help as possible to authors on the marketing front, and much of this needs to be done on the internet these days. Not everyone is entirely at ease with this and we do suggest you might talk to Sarah Houldcraft at vaforauthors.com if you want some practical assistance.
