About
Ecademy Press – Independent Publisher
Ecademy Press is an independent publisher. We use Print on Demand technology to minimise the need for expensive stock and manage the production process so that you don’t have to become a publisher to get your book published. For a fixed fee, we design your cover and the look of your book, put them together, set them up at a quality printer and arrange distribution through a reputable book wholesaler.

How does this differ from Mainstream Publishing?
Mainstream publishers will invest in an author, possibly even paying an advance. With this commitment, they will be looking for the top sellers in their category and have a limited number of books they will publish each year. All the costs of the book will be repaid from sales before the author receives a penny in Royalty. If you can get a deal with a mainstream publisher, this may be the right move for you. Remember, however, that they work to a timescale which may be anything from 9 months to a year or even longer.
Ecademy Press is not a Vanity Publisher
At the other end of the scale, vanity publishing takes money to produce books with no commitment to marketing and no expectation of sales beyond your initial order. We fit somewhere between the two. Technology is now making it possible to produce books on demand, so we don’t produce a large print run that sits in your spare room or garage, we print books as you need them. Our books are also available for printing in book stores that have the Espresso Book Machine.
Why not Self Publish?
Some authors are self publishing, producing books for themselves and marketing them at events and speaking engagements. It is now easier than ever to produce your own book. You do, however, need to get to grips with the process and manage the sub-contractors who will help to produce the book.
