Wattle Tree Press is not a vanity publisher, nor are we a hybrid publisher. We are an Assisted Publisher.

• We are authors for authors. We believe authors should maintain full ownership of their work. We don’t request rights like most publishers do.
• We don’t want your royalties. We believe authors, not publishers, should profit most from book sales. So, unlike most publishers, we don’t retain a portion of your royalties.
• We spread your wings (and pages) wide. We establish your book with on-demand printers so you have as many copies as you want, when you want, wherever in the world you want. Unlike other publishers, we won’t make decisions about inventory.

Assisted publishing is, as it suggests, a business that assists authors to publish their book, outside of the Traditional Publishing model.

 

Assisted publishing companies publish books using an author-subsidised business model. They take your manuscript and turn it into a professionally published book, assisting you to independently publish.

 

With the Assisted Publishing model, you pay us to manage your publishing project and do the things you cannot (or just don’t want to) do yourself.

 

We have an obligation free Client Call, during which time we build a quote together for the services you wants and need. You pay us for those services, and benefit from our expertise and guidance throughout your publication project.

Like a traditional publisher, we can create a professional, marketable book for you, and enable global distribution so your book can be available online, to brick-and-mortar bookstores, and libraries.

Unlike traditional publishing, we don’t pay you advances or have a bazillion dollars to throw at marketing your project. This is why Wattle Tree Press offers authors business start-up services such as websites, tailored branding and templates to help create an appealing online presence.
