Welcome to the Next Generation Publishing website. We are here to provide you with all the resources you might need regarding Next Generation Publishing. One of the major differences between being published in the traditional manner, and opting for a next generation method of publication such as self-publishing, is how you get paid. Traditional publishers normally pay you a percentage of your book sales, typically around 10 or 15 per cent. However, when you self-publish, whether in print or via an e-book, you are paid directly for all of the books that you sell. However you will incur far more upfront costs when you self-publish, meaning that you will only make money once you have cleared all the other expenses, such as publishing, distribution and editing. You will also need to give some copies away for promotional reasons, in order to garner interest in it. These costs will all reduce the amount you actually make from each book sold.
A tradition publisher takes care of all of these costs, as well as including a range of other services involved in the marketing and promoting of a book once published. Every aspect of your book will be looked at in terms of its commercial viability, from the cover art to any final revisions. These small details are ultimately extremely important to the eventual success of a book. However, if you have the money to pay for the printing, shipping, marketing and editing of a book, you can gain a lot in return, in terms of having final editorial control over all the key elements of the book, as well as other issues like the production schedule.
