Ascendere Publishing (UK) Launches New Publishing Partner Programme"

Ascendere Publishing are please to announce the launch of their Publishing Partner Programme" designed to give aspiring authors the opportunity to see their work published in a cost effective manner with the added security of a full publishing contract.

(PRWEB) September 25, 2005 -- Ascendere Publishing is a commercial publishing house and a member of the Independent Publishers Guild, which provides a full range of publishing services from manuscript assessment to top class book production, right through to final world-wide distribution and even individually tailored marketing programmes. We have the experience, infrastructure and flexibility to meet all author needs at the most personal level.

We are now offering some less traditional, more up to date services to authors who, perhaps have been unable to find a publisher for their work, but are not willing to give up on the dream. We work with writers who refuse to step down the vanity-publishing route, or who simply wish to retain greater control of their projects, or even those who have already chosen to self-publish but need some technical help or a word of encouragement or advice.

Through our Publishing Partnership Programme, we will share with the author some of the financial risk of book publishing. As we only work on projects we believe have true commercial viability, we will issue a standard Author-Publisher Contract, under which the author will pay a Programme Membership Fee to become a full Ascendere Partner, and thereafter earning an on-going royalty far exceeding the industry standard.

As Ascendere bears over 90% of the brunt of all risk, we will ensure that each book is produced to the very highest design standards and will be given the full distribution and marketing backing of our experienced team. We will promote all books in the normal way, at the World Trade Fairs, on Amazon and various other sites, in our on-line and hard-copy catalogue and we will sell through normal outlets and bookstores, so exposing them to every opportunity for major success.

The author, as our partner, and with their own favourable royalty-based stake in the project, will be expected to co-operate and help drive sales. In this way, they will not only have an author-publisher contract, they will also see their work fully distributed, at minimal cost to themselves, and they can also have a big say in the overall success of the project.
