WHO
IS JOSHUA BOOKS
Joshua Books is a fast-growing publishing
group based in Australia and we
have a professional team of editors,
cover designers, typesetters, formatters
and reviewers working with us.
Our
CEO, John Bannister is involved
in each project to ensure that its
production is of the highest standard.
John has had more than twenty years'
experience in the printing industry
at all levels including production
and prior to that, he worked at
the top level of retail trading.
John will help you choose the correct paper, the size and the format for your product and is available to offer valuable advice to you.
At
Joshua Books, we can take your book
from raw manuscript to bookshelf
as we are able to offer a complete
service to ensure that your book
is of the highest standard and also
competitive in the marketplace.
We are able to print and ship from
many parts of the world and we have
distribution and sales partnerships
in many countries.
Previously,
we have invited submissions from
all over the world; however, John
feels that authors need to work
with a publisher in their own country
in order to get the best result.
Costs associated with working internationally
on such projects are prohibitive
and he finds it difficult to maintain
a high standard for the finished
product because he works in such
a personal way with writers.
SUBMISSION
OF MANUSCRIPTS (Australia &
New Zealand only)
Full assessment and editorial services are available. However, we prefer to accept fully-solicited manuscripts from anyone who considers publishing with us.
We require hard copy of all submissions in order to mark up and assess the value of the manuscript. As we do not accept manuscripts without prior consultation, we ask that you contact us by email, telephone or snail mail to receive an invitation to submit your manuscript. If you wish to have your copy returned to you, please provide paid return postage envelope at the time.
You will find that we operate in a personal way and during all the stages of publishing, we will constantly consult with you for your approval. It is our role to advise and guide you through the whole publishing process.
Full confidentiality is assured at every stage of the process.
PUBLISHING
(Australia & New Zealand only)
In some cases, Joshua Books will
choose to publish your book for
you and offer you a contract.
In this case, your book is financed
by our group after the initial stages
of editing and formatting, which
is generally the author’s
responsibility, and you are paid
a royalty.
SELF-PUBLISHING
(Australia & New Zealand only)
Many authors choose to self-publish
through our group because of our
professional services. A distribution
service can be offered to those
who self-publish with us and generally,
we will apply our brand name to
further enhance your publication.
Some authors choose simply for us to produce and print their book for them and we can do that as well.
OTHER
SERVICES (Australia
& New Zealand only)
Joshua Books also produce CDs and
we invite submissions to produce
your product. We also produce
e-Books and Short Run Books.
QUOTATIONS
(Australia & New Zealand only)
Quoting for all services available
through our group are obligation-free;
however, we require certain information
before providing our quotation.
Please feel free to contact us by
email, in writing or by phone and
we will be pleased to run through
these guidelines with you.
