I received notice today that FootSteps Press was incorporated on 5th December 2011.
FootSteps Press Ltd., is registered as a publisher with lightning source who we anticipate will become our printers. We will be bringing established authors and new authors to the market place by using software that digitally prepares books and prints them on demand. Every book will be in constant publication unless or until the author wishes to withdraw them. No copywright is held by FootSteps Press but we will take 10% of each copy sold (whether that is 10% of the gross of net price will be discussed with each author) but if authors wish only to have their books designed by our team, they may employ them separately.
ISBN’s are provided and all design work in given free of charge. Formal contracts will be entered into and the pro forma for these will be available on our web page in a few weeks time.
We brought three books out testing the waters and all have sold; A Brief History of Lies needs more marketing but was one of three of the San Fransisco book Review non fiction book of the month in June 2010. Farmer Fisher is selling slowly but regularly and now has sold 200 copies.This is a new edition on Children’s’ Book of the Year 1976. The Artists’ Meeews has sold a 1000 copies.
We look forward to the publishing list of some fifteen books we have lined up for 2012.
