Publishing

While many publishers have a tendency to just correct grammar we seek to go to the next level by placing ministry on paper. Your manuscript will go through a rigorous overseeing by an anointed team. Reviewing will start with ‘does it inspire?’ Then our spiritual seers will review it, editors, proof-readers, creative team, graphic designers etc… all with one purpose – seeking ‘fruit’ for the author’s labour.

And this is not all? With state-of-the-art printing factories in Ireland (Europe), England (UK), Australia and USA this allows low cost delivery of books to our individual customers, shops (over 39,000) and distribution centres.

Since our inception in 2014, we strive to deliver quality service to our clients. We have continued to grow beyond our expectations as a local publisher to now an international business through our integrity and hard work.

Since our second year of trading we have been able to offer traditional publishing contracts as well as self-publishing.

An Overview of Traditional & Self-Publishing

For any writer who aspires to be an author, knowing how to publish a book is essential. It’s a common scenario — you have an idea for a book but you have no way of knowing how to translate that idea from your computer screen into print or online.
Now, more than at any other time in history, there are more opportunities and possibilities to write, share, and publish a story — and interact with an audience. Whether you are after the traditional publishing experience, complete with all the whistles and the bells (as they say), or want to self-publish your book, at Maurice Wylie Media it’s completely within your grasp. You decide what works best for you and your work.
We’re going to guide you through the book publishing process and give you the resources to choose which publishing option fits your work best. But first, you should know about traditional and self-publishing.

Traditional Publishing or Self-Publishing?

Traditional publishing, Maurice Wylie Media carries out all the aspects of creating a quality book and handles the marketing, distribution, and warehousing for your book. This is the traditional method to book publishing because there is no expense to the author. You still have final say.

Self-publishing, the majority of the work falls on your shoulders and you pay for all expenses. (Maurice Wylie Media may cover some of the costs) The main advantages of self-publishing – you have full control of the book. Maurice Wylie Media can be hired for all or part of your book.

E-book – Maurice Wylie Media can make your book available in e-book, audio book, CD, DVD, and many more. If you pick an e-book, which is essentially a book published in digital form and available on e-Readers and other electronic devices, (Maurice Wylie Media has access to 75 e-book platforms worldwide) which allows your book to be downloaded instantly. It has the ability to be translated into different languages, and can never go out of print. However, the as e-book formats and file types develop and change over time, many may need to be converted to a new file or format which Maurice Wylie Media can oversee.
