Straight answers about editing, design, printing, distribution, copyrights, and author earnings.
Unlike traditional publishers or automated vanity platforms, Summerset Press LTD functions as a service-for-hire provider. Once you pay our flat setup fees for editing, cover graphics, and typesetting, we do not take any percentage of your sales. All retail proceeds are routed directly to you, paid out with comprehensive transparent reports four times per year.
Absolutely. You retain 100% of your copyright, title, translation, and adaptation rights. If a film studio, television network, or traditional house wants to acquire your book in the future, you are completely free to license it to them without owing us any commission or fee.
We accept standard text files, preferably Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) formats. If you have illustrations, photos, or cover concepts, they can be uploaded in high-resolution PNG, TIFF, or PDF formats during our initial appraisal phase.
POD eliminates the necessity of purchasing and storing thousands of books in a warehouse. We list your book across global retail networks (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, etc.). When a customer buys a copy, our printing partner instantly prints and ships that single copy directly to the customer. The retailer automatically deducts the manufacturing fee and passes the net profit directly to you.
